Sometimes, boatbuilding is all about big showy pieces coming together. But much of the time it is also working with small details. This week, we focus on some of these details that we are going to have to figure out before we move on from the prop shaft assembly that is still coming together.

Thankfully this episode is only hours behind when I normally upload and not days. Garrett scrambled and hooked up one of our solar panels so I could keep working on this video during the odd power outage in Napa.
The bowsprit is finished up to where we planned on getting it during this haul out as...

EPISODE 57.
In this episode, I cut the rest of the shape of the Cutwater into the Stem, using a chainsaw. Then I plane it smooth, and shape the transition to the square stem-head with a gri...
We are getting farther up the hull with the planking and as we do so, we are nearing the point at the stern where the propeller shaft will go through. We need to get this hole bored before we plank past it because we are going to need to be able to align our bore perfectly level (our shaft is level...

Over the next two months, Emily is building a lightweight wooden boat, which will be used as a sailing, rowing, and motoring dinghy for S/V Temptress. This model is an Eastport Nesting Pram (plans by Chesapeake Light...
Completing Arabella's hull is something we are eagerly striving for. With this installment we cross a milestone in that goal. All of Arabella's frames that can currently go in, are finally installed. Once we have completed the planking process, the last seven sets of frames (currently b...
Garrett did a majority of the filming for this episode! I was stressing about whatever video I was working on at the time but Garrett crushed it and nearly finished the bowsprit in the time it took me to finish the episode haha It looks so great and can't wait to get the hardware made so we can...

EPISODE 56.
After the busyness of the Frame-raising, it’s just me and the boat again for a while. I have some tough decisions to make as I look into ordering the timber for the deck-st...
In last week's episode, we went into detail about how we are fabricating the forward sawn floors. From how we are taking measurements using tick sticks and a template to how we are cutting our rolling bevel down the frames without a ship's saw.
In this episode we get into more of that wor...
We've done steam bent frames for the majority of Arabella, now, in the stem and the stern, it's time to make some sawn frames.
Where the bow and stern come in to the centerline timbers, the shape of the hull is fairly sharp. Steam bending frames in these areas would not be very easy nor i...
Thanks for watching everyone!
Many thanks and much love,
Ruthie
a HUGE thank you to everyone that has purchased items off our wishlist. You are giving us a big step forward in the projects to come. We've never had such nice tools. You all are amazing, beautiful, wonderful people that we a...

EPISODE 55.
Tally Ho is fully re-framed! In this episode we see the final part of the frame-raising party, as we make and install the last of the frames that make up the bow of the boat. We...
Planking has been a very fun challenge though a bit of a challenge it has been. Learning to fit the oak planks to each other has its intricacies. We need to make sure the plank fits well fore and aft but also that the bevels match so that we can put in a good bead of cotton caulking. All of this ...
With all the bent frames installed in Arabella and all the bronze floors in place, we can now work on installing the sole beams. The sole beams are the members that will span from frame to frame and support the cabin sole inside of Arabella.
We are installing these now because it will allow us to ...
Diving into yard life again. Long and productive days. Napa is hot so taking mid-day breaks is huge. The second half of the day when it's still warm but the decks are fully shaded are the best. After our work here in the yard is complete we'll be looking for a slip closer to the bay to con...
One of the great parts of boatbuilding (or maybe the hardest part about learning boatbuilding?!) is that there are many different ways to do things. And they are all correct!
Steaming in Arabella's frames is a good example of this. All her framing so far has been steamed in after we have cut ...

In this episode we follow the life of a single Futtock, from being marked on a template to being installed as a finished frame. Frame-raising 2.0 is going well, with more than half of...
We are learning so much from the planking process. After having cut and installed the garboard planks, we are now on to the first broadstrakes. These next couple of planks are going on right after the garboard and are also oak and need to be pretty sturdy.
As these planks are also still fairly low...
Here we go! Back to the boatyard to get a few more big projects done on the boat. To come is deck planking, mast raising, through-hull cutting, bottom painting, and re-splashing. The trip was about 5 miles and took a little over an hour and a half. We arrived the Saturday before our haul out because...
It's on to the port side Garboard! We wanted to show a little bit more detail on what goes into installing these big planks. It can be a little bit of a fight to get them to fit just right. This one also had a little imperfection that needed to be dealt with before installation.
We have som...

There is a fine art to planking a boat and we certainly are learning that by putting on Arabella's Garboard. This is one of the hardest planks to fit, but that just means it is a perfect test for us to learn the intricacies of planking.
Arabella is going to have oak garboards and broadstrakes ...
I had a lot of fun putting this episode together. I'm looking forward to the day I get to make a sailing video for you all! We are so very grateful for the help we've received from you out there. The views, the subscribers, our patrons, and everyone that has donated from Amazon. It's ...
It is time to start planking Arabella! This moment has been a long time coming and we are thrilled to be able to finally start this process. It does mean a bit of a learning curve though, so we had our friend Thad Danielson come back to the boat yard and help us through the process of marking out ...
