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...
Salt & Tar: Episode 89-Who’s Charlie
"I got a plan, I have a plan," said Charlie, and 24 years later he proved it. For obvious reasons, we love hearing from those who have actually built a boat from the ground up. I wanted to share Charlie's story because it so closely mirrors our own. No matter if it takes 5 or 25 years...
Salt & Tar: Episode 88-Because it’s Badass
Alright. We've raised our main mast. Still one more mast to go and countless other projects. It's always weird after accomplishing a milestone. A sort of "now what" moment. Then you realize, "Everything else!" That's what. We get back to a few other started project...
Salt & Tar: Episode 87-Glorious Day to Raise the Main
- A glorious day indeed. Our 40 foot main mast is on the boat! Rediviva is a ketch rig but only our main was ready, the mizzen mast will come later. A huge thank you to the marina for making this day go so smoothly. My mom was able to make it and Reid, Garrett’s brother, brought the beer and did an...
Salt & Tar: Episode 85-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 2)
-Yup! Days 3 and 4 were much quicker. We managed to also take a day off and enjoy a sundowner dinghy ride. A few discoveries of what you can find in the Napa River occur and we are days away from being able to step the mast. One more episode to go before the main goes up!!! Stay tuned :) Thanks eve...
Salt & Tar: Episode 84-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 1)
This is part 1 of prepping our main mast to go up! Days 3 and 4 went much quicker, as is tradition. One mast at a time and one shroud at a time. It's been fun working away from the boat, aka keeping the mess away from home ;) Thanks for watching! ~Ruthie We've also been keeping our...
Salt & Tar: Episode 83-MAST COLLAR w/Rolf!
Two major things before the main mast goes up: build the mast collar for the stays and make the shrouds. When we step the mast we'll need some temporary lines to hold it up. We'll hang several blocks from the mast collar to do this. Rolf is kind enough to have us back and help us weld the ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 76-Floating Once Again
It would've been nice to have felt a little more organized but other than that there were no complaints about the day. We are so looking forward to the next time we do this with spars up, ports in, and engine running. We nearly have all the gear/equipment we need for Rediviva just almost none o...
Salt & Tar: Episode 70-Not Mistakes, Lessons
Multiple projects and one big mess. It's hard to keep things organized when you also want to get things done. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice. That's the thing with boats... If you know, then I don't need to explain further, if you don't but have a boat... you'll see ;)...
Salt & Tar: Episode 68-Seacocks and Thru Hulls
Happy New Year Everybody!!!! Big things in 2020 for Rediviva's crew. So excited to be releasing weeklies already. Got a jump start on my New Year's resolution :) Many thanks and much love, Ruthie We've also been keeping our instagram current. Yay technology! For real-time updat...
Salt & Tar: Episode 66-Companionway
This video is a little different than others in that it involves more of our thought process. As we get closer to "real time" you'll notice we do things a bit different than most. Sometimes it may seem out of order or odd that we get most projects to near completion then move onto the...
Salt & Tar: Episode 64-Which Project Goes First?
With so many projects hanging how do you choose which one to work on? Motivation, materials, weather, and timing all play a huge part in that decision. We've gotten so many things done in the 4 months we've been hauled out. We also have still so many to do! In real-time we are relaunching ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 63-Busted Back and Metal Scrap
Garrett has had continuous back problems. Blame it on pour genes or the relentless work he puts his body through. He's learned the hard way that every once in a while he's got to take it easy! With a simple light task like shopping for materials for the boat and glueing just one piece of t...
Salt & Tar: Episode 62-Playing Hooky
Special thanks to Ron for taking us out to the Farallons aboard his Ericson 38, Spellbound. It was a very welcomed distraction from the seemingly never ending boat projects ;) Thanks for watching everyone! Many thanks and much love, Ruthie a HUGE thank you to everyone that has purchased item...
Salt & Tar: Episode 61-Boatyard Summer
Thankfully this episode is only hours behind when I normally upload and not days. Garrett scrambled and hooked up one of our solar panels so I could keep working on this video during the odd power outage in Napa. The bowsprit is finished up to where we planned on getting it during this haul out as...
Salt & Tar: Episode 60-Carving the Bowsprit
Garrett did a majority of the filming for this episode! I was stressing about whatever video I was working on at the time but Garrett crushed it and nearly finished the bowsprit in the time it took me to finish the episode haha It looks so great and can't wait to get the hardware made so we can...
Salt & Tar: Episode 59- Deck Planking
Thanks for watching everyone! Many thanks and much love, Ruthie a HUGE thank you to everyone that has purchased items off our wishlist. You are giving us a big step forward in the projects to come. We've never had such nice tools. You all are amazing, beautiful, wonderful people that we a...
Salt & Tar: Episode 58-Embracing Yard Life
Diving into yard life again. Long and productive days. Napa is hot so taking mid-day breaks is huge. The second half of the day when it's still warm but the decks are fully shaded are the best. After our work here in the yard is complete we'll be looking for a slip closer to the bay to con...
Salt & Tar: Episode 57-Movement! Back to the Boatyard
Here we go! Back to the boatyard to get a few more big projects done on the boat. To come is deck planking, mast raising, through-hull cutting, bottom painting, and re-splashing. The trip was about 5 miles and took a little over an hour and a half. We arrived the Saturday before our haul out because...
