The build has been coming along nicely so far. There is only one thing that has really stymied us... The rabbet and bearding lines. Being such an important cut, we have been anxious about not being absolutely sure we are doing it right. So.... we called some friends. Andrew's instagram and f...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 21: Our Lady Victoria
Previously we drove to Rhode Island to build up some connections. While we were there, we were urged to go check out a boat that was for sale near there. We're lucky we did! What a treasure! Victoria is one of the biggest assets we have come across so far! We hope you enjoy the journey she ...
