Three Fiberglass Projects – Episode 188 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The usefulness of fiberglass, when applied in the right places, makes the proper application of it an important skill. This week, we tackle three projects, two of which call for fiberglass sheathing, and a third that is a layup set over a mold that will eventually be broken out. Steve, with some s...

The Chart Table – Episode 187 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
It seems like we start something, get it to a point, then move on to the next thing... and that's completely on purpose. We'll be able to know where we want our electronics and systems aboard the boat, and still be able to run the wiring and hoses for them. The furniture's dimensions ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.165- Cushions!
Our first look at the cushions inside the boat! We are half way through making all the cushions. I love the striped fabric for the dinette and the light color fabric we chose for the quarter bunks. Having two different fabrics kind of helps separate the boat at make it feel bigger. We're not go...
A Grizzly in the Boathouse – Episode 186 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Steve is the 5th generation of his family to live at Pinetum Farm, and many of his tools are lovely hand-me-downs, but some are workhorses he bought at the start of the project for as much bang as he could get for the buck. Unfortunately, the Delta thickness planer has been complaining loudly lately...
Salt & Tar: Ep.164- Learning to Sew
We have so many to thank for helping us with materials for this project! It took, of course, longer than I thought to get the hang of it but mostly that was just finding the right head space. Not being too overcritical and being okay with it not being perfect the first time but not giving up and tac...
Counter Install & Annapolis Sailboat Show—Episode 185—Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Before we went to the boat show, Steve made progress with the galley sink, counter, and stowage area. He broke out some locust and used cherry for the first time—some sweeping, beautiful curves have made a beautiful cubby for needful things where food prep will happen. The Annapolis Sailboat Show,...

Working Towards the Galley & Alix Update – Episode 183 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Oh what a tangled web we weave! Anyone will tell you about the compromises in nearly all liveaboard choices, and to be sure at least a vast majority of cubic inches are considered and cogitated upon, this week's episode takes a hard 90-degree turn into an area of the boat we thought we'd b...
Salt & Tar: Ep.160- I have made Light (with the help of Jack)
We sailed the boat, took a vacation, but we're not done building yet. We get right back into it working with Jack on our electrical. After a few days down below it felt good to get back on deck and we furthered the aft cleat assembly. Lots more to get done! Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthi...
No-Glue Drawers – Episode 182 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
This week it's just what it says on the tin. Steve goes through making the four remaining drawers for the workbench after he finishes the proof-of-concept drawer he and Wes started. Victoria's drawers went from impossible-to-open to dry and super wiggly in just the short time she was here ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.159- Island Life
After the high of raising and sailing with our mainsail it was hard to follow. Our buddy, Hoffa, convinced us we needed to take a more legit break and come visit him on the island of Catalina that he now calls home.

Arabella’s Workbench, Part 1 – Episode 180 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Bellota the Bilge Dragon: There is a great deal of difference between a boat built to suit most people—one that's meant to go onto the market to be sold immediately, with general accommodations builders think the average buyer might want to ensure its sale—and Arabella, which is surely formin...
Salt & Tar: Ep.157- Bending the Mainsail
Bending a sail means securing/rigging a sail to the spars. We get a majority of the lines, shackles, and blocks situated. Garrett hoists the mainsail so many times, trying to beat his reefing times, I lost count. Like a child again the joy is clear. Apologies for all the wind noise. I did my best to...
Vacation Adventures and Visiting Norna – Episode 179 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
