Unable Semen Jake Kerr & Christian Jensen

On this episode we give our impressions on some new models from the heavy hitters in the New Zealand fibreglass boat market, Rayglass, Haines Hunter, Tristram and Buccaneer. It is great to see new models from these brands- but are they any good? Tune in to hear our thoughts on them as well as our opinions on boat review in general. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Unable Semen podcast, your monthly Boating and Fishing fix hosted by nautical enthusiasts, Jake Kerr and Christian Jensen. This month we fight the lockdown withdrawals by deciding on our dream boat for $500,000 - as per usual we take two very different approaches to this challenge!

We are back! After a summer of boating and tackling big fish we are back to share all about it and compare notes on our thoughts around jigging vs stickbaiting. We also look at the 2nd hand boat market and I eat humble pie on a up and coming NZ boat manufacturer....

World exclusive!! Christian has bought a new boat! Listen in to see what it is and what I think of it! We also discuss our recent experience doing some powerboat training with Capt Andrew Flanagan who we interview on our last podcast!. This was a fun episode and our last for 2023. Have a Merry Xmas and we will catch you in the New Year!

On this episode we talk to Captain Andrew Flanagan from Powerboat Training. Most of us probably know Andrew from his Instagram @powerboat.training which has over 245,000 subscribers and provides handy boat handling tips and advice on a daily basis. But did you also know he was a member and trainer for the RNLI? Or that he has a business dedicated to upskilling skippers so they can enjoy all the magnificent boating this country has to offer safely. Tune into this episode to get to know the man behind the hugely popular Instagram page including his favourite boat, how he set up his business, and his take on Boat licensing in NZ. We loved making this episode and we thank Andrew for his time and great banter!

Regular episodes from Unable Seamen!! That's right- Christian and I got our act together after some fantastic listener feedback and engagement from you guys! We apologise to Makaira boats who reached out after out last episode to remind us that value for money had to be included in our last comparison as there is a 25% price difference! We also discuss our ultimate 8-9 Metre boats which include Surtees, Tristram, Makaira, Dickey, Caribbean, Rayglass, and Herley- you may be suprised at our verdict! Dog of the month returns and we answer the question- what is New Zealand's ugliest new boat!
