Heritage Boatworks Podcast - Exploring, Preserving, and Promoting New England Boat Building

This months podcast is an update on the boats at Heritage Boatworks;  The Chesapeake Light Craft Wood Duck, the Bolger Bobcat, and the Marshall Sanderling.

This month's podcast is with Bob Fuller at South Shore Boatworks.  It was a recommendation from a person I met at the Catboat Association Meeting.  Bob is a fantastic guy with an amazing passion for boat building and his main craft, custom ships' wheels. 

This month's interview was with Doug Park of Redd's Pond Boatworks in Marblehead, MA.  Doug was one of the youngest interviews I've had and he has only owned Redd's Pond Boatworks for about 4 years.  Yet, he is another excellent yarn to add to our archive.  In 20 years, I have no doubt that I will be interviewing Doug again as one of the wise veterans of wooden boat preservation.  His education and experience guide his hands and his passion and desire to preserve his customers' treasured boats will guide his business.  Doug is already building a loyal customer base and has taken on some outstanding projects including a commission for a 22' Herreshoff Steam Launch.
