Salt & Tar: Ep.134- Weekend Special
Our only surprise was how quick our prop's zinc disappeared. It's been a year and a half since our last haul out but it seems like it's still too soon to have burned through that donut zinc. This most likely means we'll be adding a grounding plate of some sort to isolate our batt...

Homemade Oak Plywood – Episode 156 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We're starting on the interior! At least starting with the pieces of the interior. Steve is milling up the stock that is going to become the bilge bands. These will get installed soon, when we get a new crew in to finish the planking. In the meantime, he is also making up our very own plywo...
Salt & Tar: Ep.133- Routine Haul Out #1
We're weirdos and actually really enjoyed our haul out. It's a great challenge, being a wooden boat, to do it as fast as we can so Rediviva doesn't dry out too much. It felt really good to be back in the swing of serious boat work. Long days felt really good. Getting to the dock under...

Repurposing Victoria’s Mast – Episode 155 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Getting Victoria early in the project was one of the best decisions we have made. There was so much good material packed in that little vessel, and it seems like she just keeps giving every day.

This is a Ruth-less episode... I'm out of town with my niece so Garrett tackles come solo projects AND does all the filming! He focuses on the boat's steerage. He shapes and mounts the rudder cheeks as well as transforms an old tiller, donated by a follower, into being the perfect helm for...
Building a wooden boat with FIRE! — Sailing Yabá #20
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 20 In this episode we are using oil and fire on our boat!! But don't worry, it's to help her, not to harm her! We are finally installing the first planks, and as they are the garboards and they need to bend and twist a lot, some extra work and ca...
The Mizzen Mast Step – Episode 154 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
With the main mast step finished, it's time to make the mizzen mast step. This one is significantly smaller as it will hold a significantly smaller mast and take less of a load. It feels like we're installing a sculpture as integral part of the boat! It's very satisfying to be making...

Mast Step and Alignment – Episode 152 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
With wrapping up the bronze floors comes working on the mast step. This wild looking piece is built up out of live oak and black locust and looks more like a sculpture than a structural element in the boat! We also check alignment on Arabella to see if everything is still where it should be. Grant...
How many PLANKS can we keep? NONE!?! — Sailing Yabá #17
Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 17 In this episode we start deplanking our rotten and eaten hull! We didn't think deplanking would need to go this far, but, oh well, it did! Not only most planks were eaten by worms but the fresh water infiltration on the deck made all the planks ver...
Last Bronze Floors and a Mast Step – Episode 151 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We finally get to finish up the work on the bronze floors. We had about six sets of frames that needed to go in once we removed the molds. These last sets all needed bronze floors made up for them as we couldn't make those on our first go around. That means, back to bending bronze and weldin...

Can we SAVE our ENGINE? — Sailing Yabá #16
We are Ben and MP! Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted 70ft wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. In this episode, we show the cur...
Clean Bilge! – Episode 150 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Building a boat can seem like an incredibly daunting task. One thing that has gotten us through these years is seeing it a lot of little things that need to be done and pieces that need to go together. This episode is very much dedicated to that ideology. We make a couple more fin head bolts to lo...
Salt & Tar: Ep.127- New Captain on the Block
Allegra 24 named Freyja. Our buddy's first sailboat. She needs some love and has two major problems; the motor and her companionway leaks. We help Hoffa with one of the two issues. First, though, we had to get all the previous owners' old stuff out and clean. Then, we install an outboard m...
