Salt & Tar: Ep.113- Building Our Buehler Boat
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 that the mizzen shrouds might not clear the bulwar...

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 steel is you can do most things yourself and i...

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 we don’t have each other. I don’t know how man...

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 placement of every part and acquire all the piece...

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 for and how they’ll work. Thanks for joining us t...

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. We're still on the hunt for a badass fis...

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 just right 👌 Thanks for watching ever...

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 sea gypsies make it happen. Our real sa...

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 keeping that dream alive and our spirit young i...

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 some calm weather. That helps push us...

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 boat and keep busy. Garrett wires the ele...

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. Swab does his job laying around, cheering...

Salt & Tar: Episode 94-Mizzen We’ve Been Missin’ (Reclaimed Mast)

Vagabond was an Atkin design "Little Maid of Kent" Schooner The journal found me 7 years ago and I held onto it in hope the owner would one day return. Little did I know, Garrett and I would build a boat and Vagabond's main mast would become the mizzen for our homebuilt ketch. Severa...

Salt & Tar: Episode 93 – In-Water Rudder Repair

Nothing sucks more than after a fresh bottom job your first sail runs you into a submerged tree. Garrett and Memo, being the handy quick-on-their-feet thinkers, drop the rudder, straighten it, reinstall it, and are sailing before the week's over! Memo has a Morgan 30 but you may recognize him f...

Salt & Tar: Episode 92-Hottest Day of 2020 Thus Far🌞

Happy Video Thursday! Spring is here and that means more workable days than not. It's always exciting to watch the weather change. It adds new motivation in the air. But then, we realize just how tired we are. It's been a long project. So this year we're trying to take some days off! ...

Salt & Tar: Episode 91-Brummel Splice for the Bottom Dead Eye

Come join us back on the boat as we continue our rigging. Our main focus is how we're going to secure the bottom dead eye to the chainplate. Instead of a metal strap or bar we're mixing in some modern material. Layering up Dyneema then serving it together with low friction rings. If you wa...

Salt & Tar: Episode 90-Turning Dead Eyes

Keeping to our salty vision we turn up our dead eyes. We are a gaff rig ketch so we couldn't very well have turnbuckles, we NEED dead eyes. This video spans over a year and two different cameras so, apologies, the sound was difficult to get right on the episode. I hope you enjoy the process! C...
