The Art of Boat Building is a video series about the creation and construction of wooden boats. Using a combination of traditional and modern methods, this hands on approach will focus on the aesthetics and beauty of wooden boat building. Join Bob Emser as he leads us through the process of boat building through the eye of an artist and craftsman.
Emser is an internationally lauded sculptor, having artwork on 5 continents, 8 countries and 27 states in the U.S. His extensive body of work, dating back to 1978, can be seen in cities and municipalities, sculpture parks, museums and institutions of higher learning. During his 50+ year career he has served as a visiting artist and has taught at several universities a held a tenured professorship. Emser’s sculpture has always been inspired by the construction and aesthetics of boats and their close cousin aircraft.

RYAN & SOPHIE SAILING

We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together.
We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm.
Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising!
WAYNE THE BOAT GUY
YouTube: youtube.com/@WayneTheBoatGuy
I started boating later in life and have spent the last several years with a wide variety of small boats, outboard engines and electric outboard motors. When it comes to boats and boating, I'm not a professional by any means but I share what I learn and my experiences good and bad. I want you to get the most out of boating whatever your budget - and to have days filled with good trips out on the water!

I'm an engineer by degree with a passion for the arts and working with my hands; and a disdain for the way engineering is taught in schools. I'm a bit of a speedy jet with a broken compass, I'm always racing in the direction of the skill that's caught my interest... for now. My goal is to inspire others to get out to their local makerspace or their garage and get making things.

For years I have been dreaming of a fast, light, simple, small traditional multihull that we could build and use to explore harbors, bays, estuaries and even bigger bodies of water in decent conditions. With the help of Chesapeake Light Craft this dream is coming true and even better than we had imagined!
