This summer has been a long time coming.
Long before Arabella was ever launched, there was a dream—to sail north, reach remote places, and go after untouched granite walls that few people have ever seen, let alone climbed.
Now, after years of building, sailing, and learning, we finally have the op...
Cutting the keel down for better water flow to our new propeller offers us a little space from the ongoing Pilot House project...

Not a boat builder. Not a sailor. Steve built Arabella from scratch — cut the trees, milled the lumber, and planked her in white oak so she could handle this. Frozen solid in Newfoundland in April, and the door won't even open.
Arabella is a 38ft gaff ketch built entirely by hand and sailed 6,...

Winter is finally starting to loosen its grip in Newfoundland, and that means one thing—spring boat projects are underway aboard Arabella.
This week, we shift gears from skiing and backcountry travel to life aboard the boat, tackling the kinds of projects that keep a wooden sailboat ready for the n...
All the tiny decisions that go into bringing ideas to life can be exhausting but the joy of making a decision and going for it is well worth the effort!

*Episode 310 | Another week of chaos at the shipyard*
After two years living aboard, we’re back at the shipyard! Not just to maintain Yabá, but to evolve her. In this episode we move her deeper into the yard, take a chainsaw to our new boom and open our gearbox up. The "shipyard chaos" is ...
It’s been 10 years since we cut down the first tree and started building Arabella.
Since then, this journey has taken us from the forest to the water—and now all the way to a frozen winter in Newfoundland. Along the way, there have been incredible highs, tough lows, and more adventure than we ever ...
The pilot house begins to integrate with the boat. We know it looks unusual with this exterior grade plywood being so rough but trust it'll look really good when we're done with it ;)

*Episode 309 | Back at the shipyard, the upgrades continue.*
After two years living aboard Yabá, we’re finally tackling one of the things we missed the most at sea: an autopilot. But on a wooden boat like ours, nothing is ever simple… before installing it, we need to rework the rudder.
With the help...

This episode picks up with a return to the cabin, where local friends Rod and Alvin take us deeper into life in this rugged part of the world. From checking...
Breaking ground on the Pilot House! I also get the entire deck fiberglassed and Garrett gets the aft hatch to a point where we can finish it later in the water and focus on the rest of the bulk of this refit 🙌

*Episode 308 | Shipyard madness!*
After the adrenaline of hauling out an 88ft wooden boat, the reality is setting in. We finally have Yabá in the dry, and the list of "impossible" tasks we’ve carried for two years is now our daily life.
This week is pure shipyard madness. We are working o...

*Episode 307 | The moment of truth has finally arrived.*
After 18 days of watching the tides and waiting for our window, it’s finally our turn. We are hauling out Yabá, our 88ft wooden home, for the first time since her major rebuild to uncover the hidden damage after 2 years at sea.

*Episode 306 | The final countdown to the haul out is here.*
In this episode, we tackle some of the most massive woodwork of the entire restoration. We are building the gaff spars, the main boom, and the jaws entirely from scratch. This isn’t just carpentry, it’s a race against the clock. The moon i...
This week in Newfoundland, Steve and Carter finish their Baker’s Brook Pond recon with one more attempt to cross the ice and reach the big climbing terrain they came to scout. After backing off the previous day due to warming temperatures, they return with colder conditions, a better plan, and a cle...
This refit is going so well! This episode is a little slow so you can get a feel for typical days in the boatyard. The focsle cabin is at a stage where we can move onto figuring out the aft (lazarette) hatch before fiberglassing the deck. We also take our first stab at mocking up the pilot house. Ga...
*Episode 305 | Building the boom and the jaws for Yabá's new rigging*
In this episode, we move from plans on paper to heavy timber. We’re tackling the "heavy hitters" of Yabá’s new gaff rig: the main boom and the first set of jaws. These aren't just pieces of wood; they are the b...
