Michael Storer is one of the most influential small boat designers today, known for his lightweight, high-performance, and easy-to-build designs like the Oz Goose and Oz Racer. But how did he get started?

In this first of two episodes, Michael shares:
⛵ His fun and unconventional introduction to sailing
📐 How working as a technical consultant for DuckFlat Wooden Boats (Australia) exposed him to hundreds of designs and shaped his approach to boatbuilding
🛶 Why his first-ever design was a sailing canoe—and how that set the stage for his future innovations

Michael’s passion for accessible, high-performance small boats is contagious, and this conversation is packed with insights for anyone interested in boat design, NanoCruising, or DIY boatbuilding.
