Working Towards the Galley & Alix Update – Episode 183 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Oh what a tangled web we weave! Anyone will tell you about the compromises in nearly all liveaboard choices, and to be sure at least a vast majority of cubic inches are considered and cogitated upon, this week's episode takes a hard 90-degree turn into an area of the boat we thought we'd b...
Salt & Tar: Ep.160- I have made Light (with the help of Jack)
We sailed the boat, took a vacation, but we're not done building yet. We get right back into it working with Jack on our electrical. After a few days down below it felt good to get back on deck and we furthered the aft cleat assembly. Lots more to get done! Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthi...
No-Glue Drawers – Episode 182 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
This week it's just what it says on the tin. Steve goes through making the four remaining drawers for the workbench after he finishes the proof-of-concept drawer he and Wes started. Victoria's drawers went from impossible-to-open to dry and super wiggly in just the short time she was here ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.159- Island Life
After the high of raising and sailing with our mainsail it was hard to follow.

Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and wou...

Paradise Island All to Ourselves (Formentera) | Ep. 37
Hello again! In this video, we hang out on the beautiful island of Formentera, just south of Ibiza in the Balearics. We start settling into life on anchor again, and enjoy the emptiness of the island - as we're there before peak tourist season. We hang out with friends, do beach BBQs, have an a...
Arabella’s Workbench, Part 1 – Episode 180 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Bellota the Bilge Dragon: There is a great deal of difference between a boat built to suit most people—one that's meant to go onto the market to be sold immediately, with general accommodations builders think the average buyer might want to ensure its sale—and Arabella, which is surely formin...
Salt & Tar: Ep.157- Bending the Mainsail
Bending a sail means securing/rigging a sail to the spars. We get a majority of the lines, shackles, and blocks situated. Garrett hoists the mainsail so many times, trying to beat his reefing times, I lost count. Like a child again the joy is clear. Apologies for all the wind noise. I did my best to...

For visitor information and to watch the video Ben mentions in the intro, visit this page: We say saloon, some say salon... we say lapstrake, some say clinker... we're not calling the whole thing off. Boat terminology can vary from region to region, sometimes by such a slight difference that ...

We unveil the mainsail! Mike did such an amazing job and I’m putting together a tip for him if you’d like to donate you can go here: and just make sure to write a note telling me that’s where you’d like it to go.

The Pleasures of Square Carpentry – Episode 176 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Buttoning up the forward bulkhead with coats of sealer and varnish makes way for some interior joinery in the forepeak that Steve has plenty of experience producing. Tools that have long sat dormant in the shop are whizzed back into life to create square mortise and tenon joints. We were hoping th...
Salt & Tar: Ep.153- AuGUST of Wind
I knew I'd be shooting myself in the foot by saying we'd be leaving the dock in August. Or have I? Mike, our sailmaker, is doing everything he can to finish our sails but with the current state of the world being what it is some things are beyond our control. This means we won't be se...
Bonus: The Satisfying Process of Sealing Wood (ASMR) – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We’ll see you Friday for a regular episode, but we’ve had a lot of requests for less speaking, and for perhaps something with a calm pace. We won’t be changing how we’re documenting progress on Arabella, but we wanted to release a bonus video showing one particular process from beginning to end. So...
100-Year-Old Mahogany Trim – Episode 175 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
In the past, we've had a look in the garage at the piles, en masse, of the mahogany lumber that came out of Victoria, but this week's video goes through a pretty extensive and specific inventory of what we have to play with for reclaimed wood as we put the interior together. Carolyn patte...
Salt & Tar: Ep.152- Butterfly Hatch
David is so wonderful for doing this project for us. It lets in so much light and air and it’s basically done… Sorry for the wind noise in this one my mic broke but the show must go on. Our buddy Hoffa was here to help or distract Garrett I'm not sure which but we had a good time tackling the f...
