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: 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.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.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.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: 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.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: 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: 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.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 – Meet Our Sailmaker
Say hello to Mike and his family! Mike is making our sails for Rediviva. He and his wife own M&H Bartles, Sailmakers in Boothbay, Maine. We're excited for you to meet them and see what they create along the way. https://www.mhbsailmakers.com/ https://w...

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.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.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 ...
Salt & Tar: Ep 119- Our First Volunteers
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 no...
Salt & Tar: Ep.120- An Epic Way to End a Year
The engine is running! What a great way to end one year and start the next. If I don’t respond to your comment I’ll try and answer your question in the next video. I hope you all have a wonderful kick off to 2021. Let’s go sailing 🎉 Thanks for w...

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! ...
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 ...
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...

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 cle...

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 wir...
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....

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 followe...
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 go...
