KP got a week to settle in, and takes on a satisfying task: fitting the last three deck beams now that we’re done with major interior installations just below them, and that we’re getting everything in order to install the next big things: covering boards and deck planking. We’re about to witness some big visual change in the coming weeks!
Fairing the deck beams will result in complex shapes from beam to beam, forward to aft, with camber and sheer coming into play. Arabella is a boat with a lot of shape, overall and, as it turns out, in each of her components.
As we hurtle toward launch in 2023, it’s important to scout out a place that’s appropriate for Arabella’s particulars (Anne misspoke: 5′ 6″ draft) in the geographical area Steve would prefer, which is anywhere from the Connecticut coast to Portland, Maine. Annie B went to over 20 sites over five days, and found a great many places with good attributes. Maybe you know a few more! Let us know. [email protected].
Arabella’s Particulars:
38′ Length on deck
55′ Length overall
15 tons displacement (approximate, based on the design)
5′ 6″ Draft

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur boat builder building a 38′ wooden boat in his backyard: designer William Atkin’s Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel’s gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they’ve built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
