In this episode of The Sailing Podcast, brought to you by Sunsail, host Theo Stocker sat down with Will Reed, Director of the renowned British Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.
Will tells Theo about how his his early days in furniture design led to a world-class training centre, Will shares the 'immersive' journey students take during their intensive 40-week courses. We dive into the technical magic of 'lofting,' the ancient strength of steam-bent oak, and why, in an era of fibreglass and carbon fibre, wooden boats are seeing a modern resurgence.
Beyond the workshop, Will discusses the academy's mission as a charity, their work in breaking down cultural barriers for women in the industry, and the bittersweet tradition of launching student-built boats into the harbour.
Whether you’ve fantasised about leaving the office for the workshop or you’re curious about the future of sustainable boat building, this conversation is a fascinating look at the grit and beauty of maritime craftsmanship.
