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 ...
Caulking our wooden Sailboat, the Old School way…. Ep 181
There is no better feeling than completing a boat job, especially when it involves filling holes in your boat! https://www.sailingnandji.com/ This video was filmed in Febuary before the global pandemic really took off. Thailand was one of the first count...
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 ep...
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 mat...
Salt & Tar: Episode 88-Because it’s Badass
Alright. We've raised our main mast. Still one more mast to go and countless other projects. It's always weird after accomplishing a milestone. A sort of "now what" moment. Then you realize, "Everything else!" That's what. We get back to a few other starte...
Salt & Tar: Episode 87-Glorious Day to Raise the Main
- A glorious day indeed. Our 40 foot main mast is on the boat! Rediviva is a ketch rig but only our main was ready, the mizzen mast will come later. A huge thank you to the marina for making this day go so smoothly. My mom was able to make it and Reid, Ga...
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 t...
Salt & Tar: Episode 84-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 1)
This is part 1 of prepping our main mast to go up! Days 3 and 4 went much quicker, as is tradition. One mast at a time and one shroud at a time. It's been fun working away from the boat, aka keeping the mess away from home ;) Thanks for watching! ~Ruthie...
Salt & Tar: Episode 83-MAST COLLAR w/Rolf!
Two major things before the main mast goes up: build the mast collar for the stays and make the shrouds. When we step the mast we'll need some temporary lines to hold it up. We'll hang several blocks from the mast collar to do this. Rolf is kind enough to ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 76-Floating Once Again
It would've been nice to have felt a little more organized but other than that there were no complaints about the day. We are so looking forward to the next time we do this with spars up, ports in, and engine running. We nearly have all the gear/equipment ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 70-Not Mistakes, Lessons
Multiple projects and one big mess. It's hard to keep things organized when you also want to get things done. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice. That's the thing with boats... If you know, then I don't need to explain further, if you don't but have a bo...
Salt & Tar: Episode 68-Seacocks and Thru Hulls
Happy New Year Everybody!!!! Big things in 2020 for Rediviva's crew. So excited to be releasing weeklies already. Got a jump start on my New Year's resolution :) Many thanks and much love, Ruthie https://saltandtar.org/ https://www.patreon.com/saltandtar...
Salt & Tar: Episode 66-Companionway
This video is a little different than others in that it involves more of our thought process. As we get closer to "real time" you'll notice we do things a bit different than most. Sometimes it may seem out of order or odd that we get most projects to near ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 64-Which Project Goes First?
With so many projects hanging how do you choose which one to work on? Motivation, materials, weather, and timing all play a huge part in that decision. We've gotten so many things done in the 4 months we've been hauled out. We also have still so many to do...
