This series of half-hour programs about building boats has been a popular offering on over forty American Public Television stations for the past two years. If it happens in a boatyard or on the water, you'll see it on "The Boat Shop." Based on proven audience interest, this unique program takes viewers step-by-step through the building of a simple, distinctive watercraft. Boats of every kind are featured on "The Boat Shop" and every aspect of things nautical is fair game, from model building and craftsmanship, boat shows and museums to the restoration of antique and classic vessels. In each program the audience is taken aboard an array of unique and in some cases historic watercraft. From simple home-built kayaks and canoes to the Great Lakes educational schooner "Inland Seas." There are racing and cruising sailboats and motorcraft; fish tugs, a coast guard buoy tender, and even a lovingly restored high speed commuter from the turn of the century. The Producer and Host of "The Boat Shop" is the affable and popular David Dean who brings years of hands-on experience with boats of all kinds to the program. David receives hundreds of letters each season from enthusiastic viewers in 28 states, Puerto Rico and Canada. In charge of production for "The Boat Shop" is Jay Gierky whose credits include, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and ABC. "The Boat Shop" is produced on the shores of what is arguably the finest body of fresh water for boating in the world, The American Great Lakes. The program is set in a barn on Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula and looks out over this "sweetwater" ocean. Fifty two weeks of "The Boat Shop" programs with a proven track record are now available for public television underwriting and for international distribution through Resolution Productions. Future programs are planned to include co-produced segments and programs with international broadcasters. |
