Boat building is a thing. A big thing. Here in New England, there’s a rich history of building boats, dating back to 1688 in Essex Massachusetts. Our guest today is a boatwright. That’s a person who builds and repairs boats, usually wooden boats. Beautiful, functional, drool-worthy works of art that dance and play on the water. Carter Richardson owns East Passage Boatwrights in Bristol, RI, and joins us to talk about what life is like as a boatwright. Listen in!
