Salt & Tar: Ep.138- Leaving the dock in August

I said it! OUT LOUD!!!!! Ahhhh..... Yup, so now you have to hold us accountable. Our new goal, primary goal, is to leave our slip sometime in August. Not too many things are required to make that happen BUT we'll have to stay focused. Thanks so much for watching every week! It's been such ...

Salt & Tar: Ep.136- Got Sole?

Noë has joined us for 2 weeks from Pennsylvania. He worked all 14 days, even when we were ready for a break he motivated us to push. I, personally learned so much from him as he could take the time to explain things to me whereas Garrett is always rushed to move on to the next thing. He discussed in...

Salt & Tar: Ep.135- Inspired by Norwegian Rescue Boats

Colin Archer designed Norwegian Rescue Boats are a thing of beauty. The oldest, built in 1893, is still sailing today! Originally, we were going to use dead eyes for our mizzen shrouds (and may still in the future) but are taking inspiration from a boat we've looked up to for years and rigging...

Salt & Tar: Ep.134- Weekend Special

Our only surprise was how quick our prop's zinc disappeared. It's been a year and a half since our last haul out but it seems like it's still too soon to have burned through that donut zinc. This most likely means we'll be adding a grounding plate of some sort to isolate our batt...

Salt & Tar: Ep.133- Routine Haul Out #1

We're weirdos and actually really enjoyed our haul out. It's a great challenge, being a wooden boat, to do it as fast as we can so Rediviva doesn't dry out too much. It felt really good to be back in the swing of serious boat work. Long days felt really good. Getting to the dock under...

Salt & Tar: Ep.132- How Do You Steer That Thing?

This is a Ruth-less episode... I'm out of town with my niece so Garrett tackles come solo projects AND does all the filming! He focuses on the boat's steerage. He shapes and mounts the rudder cheeks as well as transforms an old tiller, donated by a follower, into being the perfect helm for...

Salt & Tar: Ep.130- Main Gaff & Mizzen Boom & Gaff

Happy 6th anniversary. March 2015 started this build and 2021 brings us not only our main gaff and mizzen boom and gaff but also our sails! In this episode we complete the ruff shape of the first items but it’ll still be a few months before we see sails. We have our annual haul out still to do and m...

Salt & Tar: Ep.129- Testing the Engine

Welcome aboard! Before we can go on the river under our own power we first want to test and push the engine at the dock. Our initial run, at the end of last year, was a success but we did find we had to rebuild the raw water pump. Once this was done we wire up a few gauges and torque the set screws ...

Salt & Tar: Ep.127- New Captain on the Block

Allegra 24 named Freyja. Our buddy's first sailboat. She needs some love and has two major problems; the motor and her companionway leaks. We help Hoffa with one of the two issues. First, though, we had to get all the previous owners' old stuff out and clean. Then, we install an outboard m...

Salt & Tar: Ep.124- The Main Boom (and a Channel Crossover)

Building our Main Boom gets interrupted by "Onboard Lifestyle"'s SV Basik. We talk butterfly hatch with David, a new volunteer, and Gove finishes our galley counter tile. Michael keeps plugging away at our ratlines. We mount our jaws to the main boom and 8-side the beam. Soon, we'...

Salt & Tar: Ep.123- Getting Higher

Splicing, head injuries, and tile. I heal up just fine while I edit and Garrrett works on the rudder cheeks and Gove lays down the beautiful Mexican tile in the galley. It's been so wonderful having multiple projects come together at once. Thanks again to Gove & Michael for all their help a...

Salt & Tar: Ep.122- Ratlines!

A huge round of applause to Gove and Michael! They’ve helped continue the stoke onboard Rediviva by tiling the galley counter and building the ratlines. Making her into not only a quaint live aboard but also a little ship. Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie Rigger’s Apprentice Book- “The Compl...

Thanks to our followers we are taking final measurements for our sails and welcome our first volunteers. Josh & Alexis are amazing people. They ended up staying 10 days as Josh was determined to hear that motor roar! We can’t thank them enough for not only volunteering their time but also their ...

Salt & Tar: Ep.118- Rigging the Bow

Sit back, relax, and enjoy that this is not your boat project ;) All is well aboard Rediviva yet when you’re ready to go full speed ahead but your planning and supplies are not… well, it takes longer. We still press forward, with our humor in tact and the anticipation of our first volunteers! Hopefu...

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 his jack tar jeans… Thanks for watching! ~Ruthie ...

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 Rediviva's growth since the birth of...
