In this bonus episode I address some questions which have been asked a lot recently;
What exactly is left of the original Tally Ho?
Why didn’t I just build a new boat - and wouldn’t that have been easier?

If you've seen any of our recent videos, you know that we have been remodeling our historic colonial revival home in North Carolina. Some of the rooms are full renovations, and others - like the kitchen - are simple facelifts that make the space usable until we have the time to do a full renova...

We are finally building out our Galley (Kitchen in Raf Terms 😆) and we are SOOOO excited to see this project coming together!

Hi all,
Kirstin's parents have been a massive help on the boat! We love spending time with them, and we think they like spending time with us (hopefully)!
But, what do they actually think about our crazy plan to live on a sailboat and sail around the world?
Let's find out!
Much love...
It's a big moment here in the Acorn to Arabella boathouse. We have been steadily working on closing up the hull and now the oak shutters are going in.
After these are installed, we will only have six more planks to go. Two cedar strakes will lead up to the final black locust sheer strakes. Rig...
The gaps in Arabella's planking are getting much smaller... and soon they will be no more. We are pushing hard to close up the hull with Carolyn's help before she moves on.
The shutter planks are a pretty exciting part of the build. There are only two of them, and they need to be perfec...
May 2018.
After being off work for 10 months we have completely run out of money so it’s time for me to go back to work.
We get a lot of questions about how we find our adventure so I thought it was time to answer a few questions.
This whole adventure is funded by my job as a saturation diver in ...
One of the things we appreciate so much about boatbuilding is that there are so many different ways to do things and so many things to learn. We have worked really hard to teach ourselves what we need to know in order to build Arabella. From studying in books, haunting the Wooden Boat forum and ev...
Part 2 of our recap video! We have gone through so much since the last recap video that we couldn't fit it all into one episode. From figuring out how to build bronze floor timbers, to saying goodbye to Victoria. A new engine to making sawn frames. And finally, starting to plank. It has be...
Progress is being made on Arabella every day, but that last time we checked in on what we have done up to now was about two and a half years ago. We felt that a recap of the last couple of years, to see all the work that has been done, would be a really fun trip down memory lane while we get ready ...
One of the great parts of boatbuilding (or maybe the hardest part about learning boatbuilding?!) is that there are many different ways to do things. And they are all correct!
Steaming in Arabella's frames is a good example of this. All her framing so far has been steamed in after we have cut ...

In this episode we finally dry fit the purpleheart bow assembly timbers. In other news, we come up with a short-term solution to a damaged Babbitt bearing in the Ship-saw, and w...
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...
In this candid video we answer some questions:
What happened to Sterling after his mast came down? Was it a hard sell convincing Michal to live aboard a 33' sailboat? What does the future hold for these two bums? How are we saving up for cruising?

[ABOUT THIS STEP ]
After trying to figure out where our new freezer from Dometic would go, we made the important decision to tear up the entire galley and tackle yet another unique renovation project.

With the ballast keel poured, faired and painted, it is now time to start building out fore and aft of it. Due to the naturally dense aspect of the ballast keel requiring such a condensed shape, deadwood pieces are necessary to fair it out into the wood keel so as to have a flowing bottom. In this...

This episode, I take some measurements and consider the hogging of the hull of the 1910 yacht TALLY HO, and then use jacks to bend the whole boat back into shape, having removed some of the Iron Floors...
The lead keel is one of the most exciting parts of this build at the moment but it is also the scariest, by far! We have melted down some of the wheel weights and loose lead in order to weigh it, while talking about that, we weigh in on the actual pour. Also, a few updates at the end of the video....
