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 episode. I hope you enjoy the process! C...

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 matter if it takes 5 or 25 years...

Salt & Tar: Episode 88-Because it’s Badass

- 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.

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men... Well, we had quite the plans for the planking party and though we did get some accomplished, in the end they did go 'awry'. Our plan was to continue planking as we were and hoped that we could have a team scarfing planks while two others ...
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 have us back and help us weld the ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 106: Stealers and Planking Crew
