Who Is Stronger? A Week In The Life - Episode 308 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Welcome to a week in the life on Arabella.
Friday:
The day starts off with a huuuge cup of coffee. The rainy day is the perfect opportunity for Steve to practice making eye splices with a double braided line.
Robin and Steve spend time training to get ready for their summer plans. While Robin has been consistent with her workouts, Steve needs to add to his routine in order to be ready for the climbing walls in Canada. The Flash Board and some floor exercises provide a nice workout circuit, but Steve has a great solution for working on strength and training—the Force Board. This tool can help determine their max pull power, assisting with hangboard training. Enjoy the friendly competition of finding out who’s stronger…
Saturday:
Robin finds a little piece of magic during a trip to the beach. Steve and Robin take advantage of the beautiful weather and go for a bike ride.
Sunday:
It’s finally feeling like spring. There’s nothing better than waking up to a clear and sunny day. After a long, cold, wet, windy winter, this change in weather is more than welcome to stay for a while.
Monday:
Steve takes some time to address the comments on the use of the plastic cutting board up in the rig to mount navigation. While this solution isn’t permanent, it works great for now and will allow the gear to be tested out on the water.
Tuesday:
Steve checks to make sure there are fasteners available for some pieces that need to get installed, including the hinges for the afterdeck, chalk for Victoria along with some cleats, and a bottle opener. With a work & play organized for the upcoming weekend in Harwich Port, it will be nice to have some projects ready to go. Looking forward to having some extra hands on deck!

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.
