Boat designer and builder Sam Devlin has spent decades creating some of the most recognizable small cruising boats around. But behind the hundreds of designs is a remarkably simple philosophy: he just likes boats.

In this episode, Sam shares how he got his start, what drew him into designing and building boats, and the principles that have guided his work throughout his career. We discuss how the boating market has evolved over the years, what makes a good boat, and why simplicity still matters.

Along the way, Sam tells the hilarious story behind the Nancy's China design and reflects on the joy of creating boats that inspire people to get out on the water.

Whether you're fascinated by boat design, dreaming of your next project, or simply love hearing from one of the great minds in small craft, you'll enjoy this conversation with one of boating's most respected designers.
