Salt & Tar: Ep.182- Staysail Boom
The staysail boom is ready to be added. We get the staysail up to speed with our previous two sails, the main and the mizzen. Next week we continue on the yankee, our fourth and final sail at this time. Calm weather means we're working on the sails. The le...

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...
Salt & Tar: Ep.176- Does This Look Ridiculous?
The project that never ends, it goes on and on my friends! The boat build as a whole is coming along so nicely but it is still far from over. One piece of the puzzle comes to a close and another begins. Thanks for stepping on board with us for this episode...
Salt & Tar: Ep.173- Chasing Leaks
I’m going to test your attention span with this one. It’s long with quite a bit of talking as we discover some not so lovely issues with our 40 year old motor. The previous owner called her King of the Shit we might be changing this to King of taking a...

Salt & Tar: Ep.169- Another Sail!
Excited to get another sail we jump into getting the changes on the mizzen boom and gaff done. The episode leaves us watching paint and soup dry. Can’t wait to mount the davits and absolutely can’t wait to get every sail fully rigged up! Leave a comm...
Salt & Tar: Ep.123- Getting Higher
Splicing, head injuries, and tile. I heal up just fine while I edit and Garrrett works on the rudder cheeks and Gove lays down the beautiful Mexican tile in the galley. It's been so wonderful having multiple projects come together at once. Thanks again to ...
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. W...
Salt & Tar: Ep.103- First Sail! Torn & Tattered but Propelled by the Wind Nevertheless
We sail up the Napa River with some busted sails but we HAD to get out there and see this girl move. Rediviva has never been propelled by the wind before and even though this is not what you'd expect our first sail to look like this is how a pair of broke ...

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 kee...
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 bo...
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. Sw...
