Salt & Tar: Ep.208- Homeport
This is living! Rediviva pulls into her homeport for the first time. After a few sea trials in the San Francisco Bay we headed out to do some practical tests at sea. By the time we make it to Morro Bay, Ca she has 220nm under her keel. No words can fully explain or express how good this feels. Than...
Salt & Tar: Ep.207- First Overnight Passage
Warning: I may get a little excited about dolphins… I can’t help it! It feels so good to be out on the ocean again. We have missed this for so long. 100nm to Monterey and then we begin the 120nm leg to Morro Bay, our homeport. Hope you enjoy our story p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I c...

4 out of 4 and we give Mike a 10 out of 10! Our 4 working sails are here and are being fitted to the boat. We will have other light wind and storm sails but these are the ones we'll use most often. As we were waiting for the staysail boom to dry we started to attach the yankee to the bowsprit a...

Repurposing Victoria’s Mast – Episode 155 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Getting Victoria early in the project was one of the best decisions we have made. There was so much good material packed in that little vessel, and it seems like she just keeps giving every day. From all the beautiful mahogany in her interior, to the bronze fittings and hardware she was decked out ...

#1 A Hard Passage Lessons Learned – Sailing From New Zealand To Tubuai Austral Islands
In this vid we share our passage from New Zealand to Tubuai, Austral Islands. We chose to take the southern route in the higher latitudes where we picked up the westerlies to make almost 2000 miles of easting before we turned North towards our destination. By taking the longer and harder route we ac...
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. We're still on the hunt for a badass fis...
Salt & Tar: Episode 97-Power to the Versatile Sailor
Rigger, Electrician, Painter, or Plumber sometimes all 4 at once. We complete almost everything on the list for the mizzen mast until we get a late-season shower. If you're going to build a boat you better be tough and learn to adapt. We move inside the boat and keep busy. Garrett wires the ele...
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 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.

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 54-Finishing Our Main Mast
The mast project took just about 2 weeks to complete. We wanted to move quickly as renting the space was adding up daily. We get the mast rounded and add the hounds which are where our shrouds are attached. We've got about a month before we are hoping to haul Rediviva out to step the masts and ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 67: Q and A Before Planking
We are launching into planking soon but before we get into all that, we really wanted to do a little house cleaning video. We get so many questions about the project and it's not always easy to address them all in the subsequent videos. So, right now seemed like a good time to answer a few of...

We've finished up with the port side bulwark planking and now to turn our attention to Rediviva's masts... Unfortunately with all the distraction of building the boat our masts we're not taken care of. Our mizzen developed a kink at one end so now our original main is the mizzen and w...

Handling a Gaff Rig
I've received lots of questions about handling a gaff rig, enough to make a separate video on the subject. This video turned out to be much harder to make than I thought, between the awkward camera angles and trying to explain what I'm doing at the same time! I have new respect for the ...
