Known for his sharp eye and hands-on approach, Patrick shares how a childhood fascination with boat repair led to launching Next Level Boatworks, one of the top one-design prep shops in the U.S.\nWe talk about keel work, sanding secrets, the quirks of J/70 production, and why boat prep is really about eliminating variables. Patrick also reflects on perfectionism, the psychological edge of a well-prepped boat, and why he’s passionate about sharing knowledge—even with DIYers.\nWhether you’re prepping for your first regatta or your 500th, or just curious what makes a boat fast, this episode has tons of advice and behind-the-scenes insight from one of the most trusted names in the game.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SdG-9dNUER0-6ZojsqMY3BuquVrz5x4SMeUCoAPG__Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80ZDgw/MDQyZGJhMDRiOTMx/YjgwYTM2YTg5MmJh/OGU2ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
