Bending a sail: to secure a sail to a spar before hoisting. Bend On ~ To tie onto or fasten. Garrett completes the last of the changes and additions to the boom and gaff. Persevering through the cold, damp weather. Then together we work on permanently secu...
Timelapse of the entire project to date, right from the very start with lots of never before seen footage.
This is a huge refit and refurbishment of this big, old, abandoned steel yacht and it's not only time consuming, it's complicated and quite expensiv...
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 60
In this episode we finally reveal the interior layout of our schooner! We changed it completely from the original design and we couldn't be happier about the result! Now let's see how it will look like in rea...
What a payoff! Layers and layers of all sorts of foam, 'glass, epoxy, and fairing compound have come to this big reveal of how this refrigerated chest will look when it goes into the boat—covered in contrasting cherry wood. Before then, though, it did se...
My sister, Ellen, and her husband, Casey, join us in a little holiday celebration. This is the first ever lighted boat parade that Garrett and I have ever participated in and it was a ton of fun. We even got second place!
Thanks for watching everyone!

Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 59
In this episode we take our diesel injection pump to a local truck stop for a full service! The pump got so torn apart that we were not even sure it was ever going to be put back together!
We hope you enjoy ...
After all the fiberglass, foam, and fairing compound from the last few weeks, we get to the pretty stuff for the custom refrigerator (oh heck maybe with a bit more of all of that, too): the drop-in lids are topped with cherry and cherry burl, and they're m...
I could stare at the ocean indefinitely. We got so lucky with the day and so lucky that one of our volunteers lives close enough to take us sailing! Michael, who has done our ratlines among other things, has a Bristol Channel Cutter 28 in Pillar Point Harb...
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 58
In this episode our bulwark continues to be built following our initial plan of changing the design to a more open one! PLUS, Ben is back! Will he be happy about everything that happened while he was gone?

There are a lot of steps to each of the things we do on Arabella, especially in the interior, and between those multiple paint coats drying, that epoxy curing, and intense reading about 12 V DC electrical systems, there's plenty to do around and about to p...
Excited to get another sail we jump into getting the changes on the mizzen boom and gaff done. The episode leaves us watching paint and soup dry. Can’t wait to mount the davits and absolutely can’t wait to get every sail fully rigged up!
Leave a comm...
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 57
In this episode, we are putting our diesel engine through a compression test to finally find out if it's worth it to keep it or if we should start looking for another option. Also, the changes we made on our ...
"Before the snow flies," is a busy time around a farm, and this year it involves improvements to the shed, fixing Akiva's platform, and doing a few other labor-intensive tasks for which we had a passionate group of volunteers to help with. Thank you very m...

Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 56
First of all, we hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!
In this episode, we add our final layer to the bulwark except for next to the superstructure/the windows as that is where we are applying a big chan...
The finishing touches go onto the shower pan, which gets a drain installed, and the anchor locker, which gets an outlet for gunk that might make its way via the anchor chain. Two-part epoxy paint serves as yet another waterproof barrier for these pieces, w...
Another sail arrives! Our staysail is the second out of our four working sails to be completed. Thanks to M&H Bartles, Sailmakers. We keep at a few smaller projects and when the skies clear Garrett gets back to the bigger current project which is mount...
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 55
In this episode we take time to really highlight the skills of our amazing team of shipwrights as they work their magic from a raw cut board to the beginning of our bulwark installed (almost) all around the b...
The usefulness of fiberglass, when applied in the right places, makes the proper application of it an important skill. This week, we tackle three projects, two of which call for fiberglass sheathing, and a third that is a layup set over a mold that will ev...
We get down to business in this episode. Installing our Nature’s Head, a marine toilet. The days of walking to the shorehead will be in the past!

It seems like we start something, get it to a point, then move on to the next thing... and that's completely on purpose. We'll be able to know where we want our electronics and systems aboard the boat, and still be able to run the wiring and hoses for them...
