Salt & Tar: Episode 99- Playing House (Building a Boat is the Coolest Fort!)
When you were a kid, did you ever build a fort? Maybe out of blankets and pillows or wood and a tree. Building a boat we get to use all of the above. Our fort floats and will one day cross an ocean. Not every day does this feel as epic as it sounds but keeping that dream alive and our spirit young i...
Salt & Tar: Episode 98- Not Just a Boat It’s Our Home
It's always a balance between improving the boat and improving our home. They are one in the same which makes it's hard to separate personal and work life. The wind has been relentless (not mentioned in video) so stepping the mizzen is off until we get some calm weather. That helps push us...
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 96-What a Ketch!
Let's make Rediviva the ketch she was designed to be! Garrett and I work together to measure and cut our shrouds. Garrett permanently installs the mizzen mast step and I repaint a bit on deck as well as continuously add more coats of soup to the mizzen. Swab does his job laying around, cheering...
Salt & Tar: Episode 95-Preparing the Mizzen
We've also been keeping our Instagram current. Yay technology! For real-time updates here's the link: 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 a...
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...
