Pitching, Scraping and Oiling the Deck | Preparing Arabella for Sea Again
Spring may have arrived on the calendar, but Newfoundland hasn't gotten the memo. With cold rain, wind, and freezing temperatures delaying the bigger projects, Steve turns his attention to the long list of maintenance jobs that keep a wooden sailboat ready for life offshore. This week aboard ...

The First Things We Built For Our Shipyard.
A shop needs two things: somewhere to put your tools, and somewhere to use them. This week we turn an antique chest into a toolbox and finish a massive torsion-box workbench as we continue building out the shipyard and laying the groundwork for our plan to sail to Mexico for tequila and mezcal. Jo...
I Had 2 Hours and a Pile of Scrap Canvas… So I Built This
Wrapping up bigger canvas projects means a lot of leftover material, so Steve takes a couple of hours to knock out a quick, practical upgrade for Arabella’s 100-foot nylon anchor rode. Replacing an old, non-draining nylon stuff sack that was a hassle to flake rope into, Steve builds a custom "b...

Preparing Arabella for the Biggest Adventure Yet
Before Arabella heads south for another season of exploration, Steve returns to where the journey first began—the woods and stumps where the oak trees for the boat were harvested more than 10 years ago. What was once a busy milling site covered in sawdust, logs, and lumber stacks has slowly returne...

Salt & Tar: Ep.341- No Stone Unturned
Fiberglass and Screws! This is the beginning of our separate, never-ending, tasks left on the boat before relaunching. I get back to fiberglassing, working my way back to the pilot house. Garrett starts in on the lengthy process of removing the original screws in the sheathing and replacing them. We...
We Solved One of the Most Dangerous Problems on Our Sailboat
Winter still has Newfoundland in its grip, but while the harbor freezes over again outside, work aboard Arabella continues.

We Built Our Own Sail Covers (And Learned the Hard Way)
After months of work, trial and error, and a few unexpected setbacks, we finally finished building our own sail covers and stack packs for Arabella. What started as a winter project turned into a full deep dive into canvas work—designing, patterning, sewing, breaking the machine, waiting weeks for ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.338- Succeed or Fail
My first failure ever! Just kidding, one of many but my first botch on fiberglassing... Garrett takes his time analyzing and successfully gets the scarfed layer up onto the pilot house. We also make new friends with Gary who is helping us sort out our rudder hardware! More wins than losses 🙌 Thanks...
Why We Built Arabella…The Dream We’re Finally Chasing
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...

Frozen In: Our Wooden Boat Locked in Newfoundland Ice #Shorts
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,...

It’s been 10 years since we cut down the first tree and started building Arabella.

Along the way, there have been incredible highs, tough lows, and more adventure than we ever ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.335- Not too Tight, Not too Loose
