Around the Buoy

EP 12: Jon Wilson and WoodenBoat


Listen Later

When Jon Wilson published the first issue of WoodenBoat Magazine in 1974, the number of his employees, (him, his wife and their toddler son) outnumbered their subscribers, two. But thanks to some self-admitted naivete and a ton of perseverance, WoodenBoat can now be found on newsstands around the world. In this episode, Tyler and Carter talk to the founder of WoodenBoat Magazine and discuss how his passion for wooden boats not only saved a significant part of our maritime history but also inspired a new generation of boat builders. On the other side of the spectrum, Tyler and Carter also talk about the latest news with the next editions of the Volvo Ocean Race and the America's Cup. Listen in!
