The deck framing is almost complete on Arabella. In this episode, Steve wraps up all the framing in the aft section by making a couple more deck beams and then framing in the hatch. This hatch will provide some storage but also some ventilation to the eng...

We finally put the tools down and spent the afternoon sailing to Grand Case for a bit of beach time. The first evening we treated ourselves to a huge (but cheap!) grill and the next day dove right in to our mini holiday... literally, as we went for a snork...
In the middle of the WWII in the Solomon Island, the ground, and in particular the tank battle was fought by US Marines. Nearly 38,000 soldiers were killed in the Solomon Islands between 1942 and 1945, and the campaign proved to be a major turning point i...

This week we finished up what was meant to be a small boat job - a spring clean of the aft cabin bed and the v-berth.
We ripped out all of our cabin sole, water heater, batteries, rotten wood and more and started from scratch. Painting a clean, white spac...
We are nearing the end of the knees! It's amazing the difference that can be seen as these all start to go in. Not only to the rigidity of the structure but also at how the space seems so much different inside.
Knees keep the hull from wracking while sai...

This episode was supposed to be a nice and easy holiday construction project. However, in true Millennial Falcon fashion it did not go to plan. In addition to finding a LOT more rotted wood than we had hoped, the weather over the Christmas holidays turned ...
Escaping cyclone season in the south pacific islands, we made our way north west, to shelter in the solomon islands. Here however, cyclone season provides a difficult problem for us sailors…. there isn’t any wind. We’ve raised the sails in hope many ...
Knees and blocking are what keep the deck of the boat from racking or moving in unwanted ways. Ours are made from the stumps we dug out of the ground around this time last year. It's amazing to see the final product from those rough pieces or material to...

Now that we have installed the short beams around the deckhouse opening, it's time to start fairing that out. These beams have all been milled a bit oversized for this purpose. This means we start by fairing the ends of the short beams down to the carlin...
