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 f...
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.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 ...

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...
Salt & Tar: Episode 94-Mizzen We’ve Been Missin’ (Reclaimed Mast)
Vagabond was an Atkin design "Little Maid of Kent" Schooner http://www.atkinboatplans.com/Sail/LittleMaidOfKent.html 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 ...
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 t...
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, Ga...
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...

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 bo...
Salt & Tar: Episode 61-Boatyard Summer
Thankfully this episode is only hours behind when I normally upload and not days. Garrett scrambled and hooked up one of our solar panels so I could keep working on this video during the odd power outage in Napa. The bowsprit is finished up to where we p...

Salt & Tar: Episode 58-Embracing Yard Life
Diving into yard life again. Long and productive days. Napa is hot so taking mid-day breaks is huge. The second half of the day when it's still warm but the decks are fully shaded are the best. After our work here in the yard is complete we'll be looking f...
