Salt & Tar: Ep.117- A Jack Tar’s View
Salt & Tar

Salt & Tar: Ep.117- A Jack Tar’s View

A Jack Tar is what they used to call the sailor that was entrusted with slushing/taring the rigging. It was a messy job. It would be a crazy task when there’s miles of rope to cover on hundred foot or more tall masts. Garrett’s “nice” jeans are now...

Salt & Tar: Ep.116- Seizing the Sarcastic Humor in Life

Having friends onboard really changes the mood. Most of the time it is just Garrett and I... it can get monotonous. No offense to G or myself but it's refreshing having someone else around to lighten the stress of building the boat. DJ has been apart of Re...

Salt & Tar: Ep.114- Installing the Main Chainplates

We’re recovering from last week and get to a project we know we can complete; the main chainplates! It was fun working on a straight forward project. Much of the work was already done and all that was left was to secure them to the hull. So much thinking...

Salt & Tar

Salt & Tar: Ep.113- Building Our Buehler Boat

With most of California on fire, working conditions aren’t ideal but we press onward. We work on the main chainplates a little, make some more headway on the engine deck box before we wait on parts again, and solve a problem. We’ve known for a while th...

Salt & Tar: Ep.111- How We Protect Our Hardware

Mild steel hardware has been used on boats for centuries. Most of our hardware, fittings, and fasteners are steel. Some are galvanized, like our fasteners, and others we protect in a couple step process. One of the things we like most about working with st...

Salt & Tar

Salt & Tar: Ep.110- All in a Days Work

This one is for the fans. Listening to your requests; longer, less music, and not Ruth-less. Thank you for watching and following along on this dream. We’ve been taking time to be together and not always working on the boat. All of this means nothing if ...

Salt & Tar

Salt & Tar: Ep.109- What About the Engine?

Installing a motor on a brand new build, when doing it yourself, isn’t cut and dry. It’s easy to take for granted the simplicity of repowering an old boat or rebuilding an engine in your restoration (however, NOT easy) but when you have to decide the p...

Salt & Tar: Ep.108- Our Little Big Ship Wants Catheads

You don’t see catheads often anymore and that’s exactly why we wanted them. Rediviva is our little big ship and she needs all the traditional features we can give her. In the previous episode, 107, we explain a little more about what the catheads are f...

Salt & Tar

Salt & Tar: Ep.107- Rudder Cheeks & Catheads

Got to love boat terminology. Catheads, baggy wrinkles, and gollywobbler are some of my favorites. Today we not only work on the rudder cheeks so we can have a legit tiller but also our catheads. Anything and everything old school sailing makes us happy. W...

Salt & Tar: Ep.106- Birthday Sail

A girlfriend comes to help me celebrate my birthday! Memo takes us out on the San Pablo Bay in his Morgan 30 and we anchor at China Camp. Rediviva feels like a queen as her bright work gets pampered. Boat soup ingredients below. Thanks for watching everyo...

Salt & Tar: Ep.104- Stick Welding Our Hinging Bowsprit Bracket

To save on dock fees we're welding a bracket together so our bowsprit can hinge up out of the way. 10 extra feet adds up. Our old friend Teddy helps us out again after Garrett fabricated the bracket and it warped inward slightly. Using his torch we get it ...

Salt & Tar: Ep.103- First Sail! Torn & Tattered but Propelled by the Wind Nevertheless

We sail up the Napa River with some busted sails but we HAD to get out there and see this girl move. Rediviva has never been propelled by the wind before and even though this is not what you'd expect our first sail to look like this is how a pair of broke ...

Salt & Tar: Episode 99- Playing House (Building a Boat is the Coolest Fort!)

When you were a kid, did you ever build a fort? Maybe out of blankets and pillows or wood and a tree. Building a boat we get to use all of the above. Our fort floats and will one day cross an ocean. Not every day does this feel as epic as it sounds but kee...

Salt & Tar: Episode 98- Not Just a Boat It’s Our Home

It's always a balance between improving the boat and improving our home. They are one in the same which makes it's hard to separate personal and work life. The wind has been relentless (not mentioned in video) so stepping the mizzen is off until we get som...

Salt & Tar: Episode 97-Power to the Versatile Sailor

Rigger, Electrician, Painter, or Plumber sometimes all 4 at once. We complete almost everything on the list for the mizzen mast until we get a late-season shower. If you're going to build a boat you better be tough and learn to adapt. We move inside the bo...

Salt & Tar: Episode 96-What a Ketch!

Let's make Rediviva the ketch she was designed to be! Garrett and I work together to measure and cut our shrouds. Garrett permanently installs the mizzen mast step and I repaint a bit on deck as well as continuously add more coats of soup to the mizzen. Sw...
