Salt & Tar: Ep.197
Another annual haul out in the bag! And… another engine problem to diagnose. We try and find a resolution fast so we can still get out this sailing season. Boats love to do this to you. Like a crazy lover to make you doubt yourself and your life decisions. The haul out was so good I guess it could o...
Salt & Tar: Ep.196
Getting out on the river as much as we can to test Rediviva's systems. So far so good! The boatyard was able to squeeze us in so we check off our annual haul out for the year. Thank you to Jim for all your help with bottom paint and to my dad who caught a glimpse of us from shore. Enjoy the s...

Salt & Tar: Ep.184- One Day at a Time

Salt & Tar: Ep.134- Weekend Special
Our only surprise was how quick our prop's zinc disappeared. It's been a year and a half since our last haul out but it seems like it's still too soon to have burned through that donut zinc. This most likely means we'll be adding a grounding plate of some sort to isolate our batt...
Salt & Tar: Ep.133- Routine Haul Out #1
We're weirdos and actually really enjoyed our haul out. It's a great challenge, being a wooden boat, to do it as fast as we can so Rediviva doesn't dry out too much. It felt really good to be back in the swing of serious boat work. Long days felt really good. Getting to the dock under...
Salt & Tar: Ep.132- How Do You Steer That Thing?
This is a Ruth-less episode... I'm out of town with my niece so Garrett tackles come solo projects AND does all the filming! He focuses on the boat's steerage. He shapes and mounts the rudder cheeks as well as transforms an old tiller, donated by a follower, into being the perfect helm for...

Thanks to our followers we are taking final measurements for our sails and welcome our first volunteers. Josh & Alexis are amazing people. They ended up staying 10 days as Josh was determined to hear that motor roar! We can’t thank them enough for not only volunteering their time but also their ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.118- Rigging the Bow
Sit back, relax, and enjoy that this is not your boat project ;) All is well aboard Rediviva yet when you’re ready to go full speed ahead but your planning and supplies are not… well, it takes longer. We still press forward, with our humor in tact and the anticipation of our first volunteers! Hopefu...

Salt & Tar: Ep.109- What About the Engine?
Installing a motor on a brand new build, when doing it yourself, isn’t cut and dry. It’s easy to take for granted the simplicity of repowering an old boat or rebuilding an engine in your restoration (however, NOT easy) but when you have to decide the placement of every part and acquire all the piece...
Salt & Tar: Ep.108- Our Little Big Ship Wants Catheads
You don’t see catheads often anymore and that’s exactly why we wanted them. Rediviva is our little big ship and she needs all the traditional features we can give her. In the previous episode, 107, we explain a little more about what the catheads are for and how they’ll work. Thanks for joining us t...
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: Ep.104- Stick Welding Our Hinging Bowsprit Bracket
To save on dock fees we're welding a bracket together so our bowsprit can hinge up out of the way. 10 extra feet adds up. Our old friend Teddy helps us out again after Garrett fabricated the bracket and it warped inward slightly. Using his torch we get it just right 👌 Thanks for watching ever...

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 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 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 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...
