The Balmain Boat Company creates flat-packed, DIY timber rowboat and sailboat kits. We have digitised the design and simplified the construction process, so that ANYONE can build a boat.

Co-founder of the Balmain Boat Company, Nicole Still, sits down with Smarter Business Ideas magazine to discuss how she built a business as hobby with co-founder Andrew Simpson. She also shares her top 3 tips for starting a new business.

In 2013, the Balmain Boat Company released, "The Pilot," its third boat kit. Meet Eve and Mick, who built the first Pilot in Sydney, Australia. This is their story of building their own boat called the "Kirketon." To find out more, go to: www.BalmainBoatCo.com.
