EPISODE 46.
After weeks of hectic preparation, we begin the big push to re-frame the stern of Tally Ho! For these 3 weeks, we have 10 people (including myself) working full-time on the boat;

Floor timbers are a critically important structural member in wooden boats. As we've been building Arabella, there have been many decisions so far in terms of following the original plans or making slight adjustments. Each decision has pros and cons.
When it came to the floor timbers, we felt...

Before the rest of the volunteers arrive, we have to get the huge timbers of the Stern Assembly bedded and fastened into the stern of Tally Ho. First we drill the holes for...
We've been going for three years straight now. At first we were working full time jobs and building on nights and weekends to support ourselves and pay for the build. Recently the support has been strong enough for us to be able to work full time on the project but we were still held back on ...
Celebrating our 4th year of building Rediviva (March 2015-March 2019) we thought it was time to update our logo and get her on the shirt. We're excited to release this new shirt and to get started in on the spring projects: planking the deck, bowsprit, bulwark planking, and cranking that engin...
Milling our planking stock out of our donated cedar and working on figuring out our bronze floor timbers! Buckle up because there is a lot of information here.
A lot goes into this project behind the scenes that we don't talk about. Most of that is the mental game of figuring out how to do wh...
We talk a lot in this episode about the interior. After serious research on the driveline we decide to go with a company that does this for a living. While waiting for the driveline to be made we start in on making lasting choices for the interior. Getting one full bulkhead in and the start of the d...

With the deadline of the “Frame-raising party" looming, the race is on to try and get the Stern Assembly into the boat! With a strong team now, we are able to lift most of the...
After having stripped Victoria of her interior, we now move on to disassembling her hull by removing her cockpit, aft deck and then her rudder.
Almost all of the mahogany that is being stripped from her is being saved and we will reuse as much of it as we can in Arabella's build. As for her ...
This was an amazing day! We are eternally grateful to Judy and her hospitality. Tiffany and Tyler were excellent crew. Bit by bit the engine is coming together. Next we start in on some of the interior work. Thanks for watching!

EPISODE 43.
The yard is full of deep snow, but we have no time to spare! Finn and I cut out all the remaining Stern Assembly pieces from the huge Purpleheart timbers, and then use p...
What is the soul of an old boat? We believe it has to do with all the people she has touched and the journeys they have experienced. All this shows in every detail and aspect of an old boat. It would be a great disservice to Victoria if she were simply cut up and sold for scraps. We plan on lovi...
The morning after the launch we awoke tired but with a smile. We check every few hours but her bilge fills slowly as the sheathing stems the flow to her main planking. With a little help from Teddy, Tyler, and Sender Sailing we move her to a more permanent spot in the marina. Her very own slip...

All the frames are steamed in! AND we got donated a TON of white cedar!
We have been thinking about our planking material since we started and were wondering if it would be worth buying cedar or if we were better off planking in our beautiful white oak and pine. But a fan contacted us to say he...

As we steam in Arabella's frames we have now reached the aft section of the build and need to cut the rabbet up the sides of the stern posts to determine where our frame sockets should land. Once cut we spend a day steaming in frames with a couple snags along the way.

Teddy teaches us the ways of stick welding...tries to anyway. We get the bobstay plate mounted and install our single thru hull. Thanks to Ron's generosity and sweat we got more done in the week than we expected! I finally get to put my hands in some red paint and help Garrett finish the ...

Arabella has 70 frames. That's a fair amount of steaming. So, we thought it would be interesting to show what a full day of steaming looks like. Not to mention, who can get tired of watching those timbers bend like that?

Happy New Year!

Yep, we are making our own square shanked copper rivets for Arabella. Not only are they bigger than the biggest commercially available rivet we could find, it is also saving us thousands of dollars!
We also wanted to address some concerns people had with our other fasteners. Namely the bronze scre...
