Galley Renovation and Shore Power – Episode 304 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

While high winds and colder temperatures may prevent tasks from being completed on deck, it’s a great time to hunker down below and work on some projects.

There’s been a nice dent made in the to-do list. Robin is psyched to find that Starlink has a home. And now that shore power is up and running, Steve gives Robin a tutorial on the process.

It turns out that the diesel heater provides plenty of warmth, so Steve decides to repurpose the wood stove space. Luckily, thanks to his past foresight, Steve designed the area for easy disassembly and modification. Good job, past Steve! While working on the cabinetry, he also adds a spice rack so there is plenty of storage for Robin’s beloved salt.

Steve and Robin take a trip to the Cape Cod Maritime Museum located in Hyannis to learn about the area’s nautical history. The Executive Director provides a tour, highlighting exhibits that focus on the lighthouses of Cape Cod, female trailblazers of Cape Cod, the Portland Gale, and the Lifesaving Service. The museum is currently working on restoring a surf boat and offers youth programs, including boat-building courses. If you are interested in visiting the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, visit their website for more information: https://capecodmaritimemuseum.org/.

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38′ wooden sailboat 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 now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they’ve built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
