NanoCruising Swag Is Finally Here (And We Did It the Right Way)

 For the past year, one of the most common messages I’ve received has been:

Do you have NanoCruising T-shirts?

The short answer used to be no.
The longer answer was that I didn’t want to rush into it.

NanoCruising has always been about doing more with less, being thoughtful about our choices, and avoiding unnecessary clutter — whether that’s boats, gear, or, yes, stuff.

But after a lot of looking, testing, and thinking, I’m happy to say:

NanoCruising now has a small online shop — starting with a T-shirt I genuinely feel good about offering.

Why a NanoCruising T-Shirt?

This isn’t about “branding” or selling things for the sake of it.

The NanoCruising community has grown into something special — builders, sailors, adventurers, tinkerers, and people who believe that small boats can lead to big adventures. Wearing the shirt is simply a quiet way of saying:

I get it.

No loud graphics. No hype. Just a nod to a shared way of looking at the water.

Eco-Friendly, On Purpose

If we were going to do this, it had to be done right.

The NanoCruising T-shirts are:

  • Made using eco-conscious materials

  • Printed with environmentally responsible inks

  • Produced in a way that avoids mass waste and fast-fashion practices

Yes, that means they cost a little more than the cheapest T-shirts out there — and I’m completely okay with that. I’d rather offer one good thing than a pile of disposable ones.

NanoCruising isn’t about generating more junk. It’s about choosing well.

First Sightings in the Wild 👀

One of the best moments so far?
Seeing photos of a NanoCruiser wearing the shirt out in the real world. Thank you Spiro!


That made this feel real — not like a “store launch,” but like something shared within a community.

If you’ve picked one up and want to send a photo, I’d love to see it. Boats optional. Smiles encouraged.

Where to Find It

You can check out the shop here:

👉 https://www.nanocruising.com   or directly at https://nanocruising.tpopsite.com/

Right now it’s simple — one shirt, done thoughtfully. We may add more over time, but only if it feels true to the spirit of NanoCruising.

Thank You

Whether you wear the shirt, listen to the podcast, support on Patreon, or just quietly follow along — thank you.

NanoCruising exists because of this community, and it’s pretty amazing to see it grow.

Designing for Adventure: Michael Storer’s Path to Small Boat Innovation

A Passion for Small Boats and Smart Design Michael Storer has made a name for himself in the world of small boat design. His creations, such as the Oz Goose and Oz Racer, have gained a strong following among DIY boatbuilders and NanoCruisers. But how did he get started? In the latest episode of the NanoCruising podcast, we dive into Michael’s journey—his early sailing experiences, how he developed his design philosophy, and the first boat he ever designed. Learning from the Best at DuckFlat Wooden Boats (Australia)  One of the most fascinating parts of Michael’s story is how he learned boat design—not through formal training, but by working as a technical consultant for DuckFlat Wooden Boats (Australia) , where he had access to hundreds of different designs. This hands-on exposure gave him a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to small, efficient boats. Michael’s background in engineering and problem-solving helped him refine his approach, leading t...

⛵ John Welsford on New Designs, Ocean Dreams, and the Future of Small Boats 🌊

If you enjoyed Part 1 of our conversation with legendary boat designer John Welsford , you’re going to love what’s in store for Part 2. In this episode, John takes us further into his world of small boat innovation and adventure. We kick things off with a look at the new 7-meter ocean-going boat he’s currently designing—something he hasn’t talked much about publicly until now. It’s a boat meant to cross oceans with confidence, while still staying true to Welsford’s core design philosophy: safety, practicality, simplicity, and real-world performance. From there, we dig into the story behind his new design “Scallywag,” which was born out of a desire for a microcruiser like the SCAMP—but with accommodations for longer journeys and sleep-aboard comfort. It’s a design many have been waiting for, and it reflects the continued evolution of small cruising sailboats. John also shares some fantastic anecdotes about his designs out in the wild. We hear about a SCAMP in Tierra del Fuego , and...
