- The Boat Geeks #7 - Matt Steverson (Shipwright, Rebuilding Duracell)
Recorded 2.19.24
Rebuilding a legendary Open 60 race boat requires many skills, a lot of perseverance, and for husband and wife Matt and Janneke, a leap of faith.
Recorded aboard their floating studio in Port Townsend, WA, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, your hosts Darren and Daeron take another deep dive into the world of boating.
This episode: The Boat Geeks meet one half of The Duracell Project. From Matt's beginning as a racer (and as D&D surprisingly discover, a 1st place winning racer!) to a liveaboard cruiser, his boat building and maintenance skills are front and center as they transform the legendary around-the-world race boat known as Duracell into a "hot cruising boat." Matt completely stripped the boat to a bare hull, and together with some family and friends they are totally rebuilding her. Meanwhile, Janneke has made a series of wonderfully entertaining and educational videos documenting the work being done, taking their RUclips channel to incredible heights.

The cherry on top is their cat LaPaz, I was surprised she wasn’t mentioned, the best cat inspector on the planet!
You left out the most important cast member of his channel, and its "The Inspector" kitty that everyone is here for. 😂
Because of Matt you 'geeks' popped up in my suggested video timeline. Great channel, great voices, very nice to listen to. I am looking forward to the interviews you guys are going to have with Sailing Magic Carpet II and Steve from Acorn to Arabella!
Good suggesions!
The Duracell videos stand alone in their quality, aesthetic excellence, unique videography, and musical scoring
Congratulations Matt enjoying seeing you on the boat geeks. So glad it showed up so I could watch and listen to you and The Geeks!
Good to see this. We follow Matt and Duracell. Well done interview!
Matt you should consider this name for your boat L’ETOILE Du Nord, “ Means, Star of the North “ it’s on the original Minnesota State Flag !
Enjoyed that - Matt is doing an exceptional job and is very relatable. Now you just have to get Leo Goldie (Tally Ho), on the show, before he disappears on the ocean blue.
We tried, but as you know he's kinda busy these days! :-)
@@theboatgeeks Busy people can make time - that’s why they are busy.😉⛵️
Just started this one, but I've been waiting for it!
Thank you for recommending we have Matt as a guest! He and Janne are doing an amazing job! We really enjoyed getting to know him. It was a fun interview!
@@theboatgeeks😢a !
One of my newest concerns!!!!
With all boat construction design Cruisers ect:
FIREs - Batteries! Batteries have changed!!
They work way better!
BUT!!! They catch on fire a lot easier!!!
Fire and boat is about as bad a horror story that one can think of.
Saw one Catamaran that had a flooding battery compartment? That looked interesting?
I’d like to see many of these Marine RUclipsrs talk about it with solutions and remind Cruisers think about this scenario!
A fire at sea is unthinkable
you should meet ocean capable small sailing craft channel.
