Salt & Tar – Meet Our Sailmaker
Say hello to Mike and his family! Mike is making our sails for Rediviva. He and his wife own M&H Bartles, Sailmakers in Boothbay, Maine. We're excited for you to meet them and see what they create along the way. https://www.mhbsailmakers.com/ https://w...
Salt & Tar: Ep.114- Installing the Main Chainplates
We’re recovering from last week and get to a project we know we can complete; the main chainplates! It was fun working on a straight forward project. Much of the work was already done and all that was left was to secure them to the hull. So much thinking...
Salt & Tar: Ep.113- Building Our Buehler Boat
With most of California on fire, working conditions aren’t ideal but we press onward. We work on the main chainplates a little, make some more headway on the engine deck box before we wait on parts again, and solve a problem. We’ve known for a while th...
Salt & Tar: Ep.111- How We Protect Our Hardware
Mild steel hardware has been used on boats for centuries. Most of our hardware, fittings, and fasteners are steel. Some are galvanized, like our fasteners, and others we protect in a couple step process. One of the things we like most about working with st...
Salt & Tar: Ep.110- All in a Days Work
This one is for the fans. Listening to your requests; longer, less music, and not Ruth-less. Thank you for watching and following along on this dream. We’ve been taking time to be together and not always working on the boat. All of this means nothing if ...
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 p...
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.106- Birthday Sail
A girlfriend comes to help me celebrate my birthday! Memo takes us out on the San Pablo Bay in his Morgan 30 and we anchor at China Camp. Rediviva feels like a queen as her bright work gets pampered. Boat soup ingredients below. Thanks for watching everyo...

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: 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 ...
