Salt & Tar: Ep.223- Re-tensioning the Rig and Sail Covers!
Getting projects done to get back out there! Retensioning the rig was the second of two big jobs to complete before Mexico. We got a lot of other smaller projects knocked out too. Not bad!!! Thanks for watching! p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I can but we are still so so busy so pleas...

Salt & Tar: Ep.184- One Day at a Time
Sooner or later we will be sipping on that margarita tropical style! It might not be today but we are closer than we were yesterday. Every day adds to the sum of building Rediviva and here's a glimpse into a few ;) Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.182- Staysail Boom
The staysail boom is ready to be added. We get the staysail up to speed with our previous two sails, the main and the mizzen. Next week we continue on the yankee, our fourth and final sail at this time. Calm weather means we're working on the sails. The less favorable weather gets reserved for ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.181- Hoist ’em all! Attaching our headsails
4 out of 4 and we give Mike a 10 out of 10! Our 4 working sails are here and are being fitted to the boat. We will have other light wind and storm sails but these are the ones we'll use most often. As we were waiting for the staysail boom to dry we started to attach the yankee to the bowsprit a...
Salt & Tar: Ep.157- Bending the Mainsail
Bending a sail means securing/rigging a sail to the spars. We get a majority of the lines, shackles, and blocks situated. Garrett hoists the mainsail so many times, trying to beat his reefing times, I lost count. Like a child again the joy is clear. Apologies for all the wind noise. I did my best to...
Salt & Tar: Ep.135- Inspired by Norwegian Rescue Boats
Colin Archer designed Norwegian Rescue Boats are a thing of beauty. The oldest, built in 1893, is still sailing today! Originally, we were going to use dead eyes for our mizzen shrouds (and may still in the future) but are taking inspiration from a boat we've looked up to for years and rigging...
Salt & Tar: Ep.124- The Main Boom (and a Channel Crossover)
Building our Main Boom gets interrupted by "Onboard Lifestyle"'s SV Basik. We talk butterfly hatch with David, a new volunteer, and Gove finishes our galley counter tile. Michael keeps plugging away at our ratlines. We mount our jaws to the main boom and 8-side the beam. Soon, we'...
Salt & Tar: Ep 119- Our First Volunteers
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.117- A Jack Tar’s View
A Jack Tar is what they used to call the sailor that was entrusted with slushing/taring the rigging. It was a messy job. It would be a crazy task when there’s miles of rope to cover on hundred foot or more tall masts. Garrett’s “nice” jeans are now his jack tar jeans… Thanks for watching! ~Ruthie ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.115- Lanyard-ing the Dead Eyes
Thanks for watching everyone! Many thanks and much love, Ruthie ----- pledge per episode --------- one-time donation p.s. Also, thank you for watching/tolerating the ads. They really help us out financially. We can't control what ads (that typically depends on your "cookies" i.e....
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 and debating goes on, on and off screen, it c...
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: 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 with low friction rings. If you wa...
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 episode. I hope you enjoy the process! C...
Salt & Tar: Episode 89-Who’s Charlie
"I got a plan, I have a plan," said Charlie, and 24 years later he proved it. For obvious reasons, we love hearing from those who have actually built a boat from the ground up. I wanted to share Charlie's story because it so closely mirrors our own. No matter if it takes 5 or 25 years...
Salt & Tar: Episode 85-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 2)
-Yup! Days 3 and 4 were much quicker. We managed to also take a day off and enjoy a sundowner dinghy ride. A few discoveries of what you can find in the Napa River occur and we are days away from being able to step the mast. One more episode to go before the main goes up!!! Stay tuned :) Thanks eve...
Salt & Tar: Episode 54-Finishing Our Main Mast
The mast project took just about 2 weeks to complete. We wanted to move quickly as renting the space was adding up daily. We get the mast rounded and add the hounds which are where our shrouds are attached. We've got about a month before we are hoping to haul Rediviva out to step the masts and ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 41-Traditional Rigging Done Modern Style and, of course, sheathing
Happy New Year! While Garrett's busy cutting planks I work with Tyler on his rigging project. Tyler has an Aries 32 and has to replace the rigging but he's decided not to put back stainless like it was before but to try blending a few traditional techniques with modern line, 3/8th inch th...
Salt & Tar: Episode 40 – A TarQueen’s Birthday, some Sheathing and Welding too
The long process of sheathing continues into August with breaks out to a scrap yard and a river cruise to celebrate my birthday. We also weld the top pieces of the chainplates that the dead eyes will attach to at Rolf's shop with the sound of the racetrack just outside his back door. Enjoy! Sa...
