Salt & Tar: Ep.103- First Sail! Torn & Tattered but Propelled by the Wind Nevertheless

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 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 som...
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...

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 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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ep...
