Update: 2025-08-18
Description
Today’s podcast is with Mike Bretner of Vancouver, BC. Mike is a self confessed wooden boat addict and also
the communications director for the Vancouver BC Wooden Boat Society.
Bretner owns and uses several really cool boats: 1.) A 1952 Turner lifeboat with the original 1 cylinder gas
engine; 2.) a 1967 Mirror Dinghy he has owned since 1981, and; 3.) a 14ʹ strip built boat he recently built based
on Phil Bolger’s Defender design.
Of note too – Mike’s dad owned an Amphicar and surprised Mike as a young child by driving off the road and
into the water
