If you find a good sailmaker who can do a custom cut, you need to nurture them. They are rare. I was lucky that one of the guys in our class was a great sailor and started making his own sails when he was in college and, a couple of years later, making them for other people. He won multiple national championships and a couple of world championships with the sails he'd made. It was brilliant to be able to discuss cut and shape with him. One thing I remember was that his main sewing machine was let into the sail loft floor so that the deck of the machine was level with the floor. The operator, sitting below the floor, could slide the sail panels across the floor straight into the sewing machine.
I live in Maine and about an hour south from Boothbay, in the Portland area. I'm a die hard boater too and I know a lot of sailors around. I've heard nothing but good things about Bartles Sailmakers. They have excellent reputation for their work and craftsmanship.. He is so perfect for Rediviva, as Maine has a rich history of shipbuilding including sailboats. Congratulations, you found the right one! Can't wait to see you guys sailing!! I'll paypal you guys shortly.. good luck!!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Malachi Nova I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yess, finally you are offering people the chance to get involved ! This will be the turning point in the project and get you back on track with renewed energy ! Garrett, please let Ruth manage the communication of volunteers and organising who does what and when because you should be concentrating on getting the work done. Make a list of all the jobs that you want help with so that Ruth can discuss them with the volunteers and work out a schedule but don't worry if it doesn't go exactly to plan, volunteers may not be as reliable as you might like, every day somebody is able to help is another day closer to finishing ! Good luck you guys !
He will have to explain some things I am certain. As long as he can refrain from micro-management and the urge to redo other's work, this can be a helpful idea. Remember when he has cut out his own work and redone it? (Cabin top, for instance).
It’s about time, I’m glad that you two have finally made this decision to take on some help, better late than never I guess. Best wishes and I hope that you get some really good people involved to help, not only with their knowledge and skill but with personalities and attitudes to help rekindle that fire in you to complete Rediviva.
Makes sense to get some help. Especially from trades. They can cut weeks off the project, and take the heat mainly off Garrett, but also Ruth. Great you chose a family firm for the sails. Hope it works out for you.
I think it's a great idea to except help. Sampson, A2A, Seeker have and appear to enjoy it. The comrade will be fun. A lot of people don't realize how many of the tasks required are mundane, like sanding for days, but with a team, cold beers and a bbq at the end of the day, its rewarding.
I wish you guys the best of luck at your adventures. I know it can be very trieing and over whelming but when you are done, you will have the privilege to say I built this! I love that feeling knowing I built this. Don't give up on your dreams or they will be just that DREAMS.
Hi Ruth, Garrett , I'm a regular on your channel. Your work on the boat AND YOUR HARD WORK TO THIS CHANNEL are very inspiring to me. Not only inspiring though: you also show some trick or two that I take as a learning for my own projects, be it on the garden-house or in my small woodworking projects. I totally sympathize with your decision to take Mike and his family 'on-board' for the sails you need so I just donated a small amount.. Now a small part of your sails will be mine! (and I really like that thought!) Keep up the spirit and I hope you'll be able to get some help and turn that mood of yours into some constructive and fun-factored forward thinking and doing again! Cheers, Igor
That’s a great idea. I know y’all are burnt out. Iv watched since you had moved in the woods and first started making this beautiful boat. You definitely need some help and just think of how much faster the build will go. Can’t wait Take care and take a few days off with nothing to do but relaxing, no boat . Thanks guys good luck 🙏🇺🇸👍 SV Seeker has had people coming in from all around the world to help him build his boat. Give him a call and see what works best for bringing in others that donated their time to work 👍👍
Hello from Florida. By chance do you know any current information About Herr Heinze Denig, He is a Knife maker in Kaisersloutern. His website is not active and I was hoping to Contact him about a Damascus blade he made in about 1985/6.His books on Damascus show the blade I own. Just hoping it's a small world.Thank You. cheechwizard@netzero.net

@@chevyfahrer I am sorry to hear that. It is a great loss of Knowledge and skill.We must have had the same size hands,as his blade fit in mine so well.Thank You for your time to reply.
This is the first video in the last 3 or 4 that looked like the original Salt & Tar. I am so glad you two took notice of the comments over the last 2 or 3 videos and are at the point you are willing to accept a little help. Both of you looked upbeat and look like you are finally admitting to yourselves your at the end of your rope. Let those that have the expertise or time help you and you will see things move faster and faster. Cant wait to see the day you set sail!
You two are the Rock Stars, I'm just sad that I live in Australia. It's nice that you have finally seen the light and are now allowing people who have watched you both and love you and let those people be apart of your life in some small way. Bloody awesome, Guys.
Too busy with kids and far away to help but I think there's something in my pocket for the sails. Thanks for all the great videos and inspiration. I enjoy watching your lives and loves unfold.
Have been a long time viewer and am excited to see the sails for Rediviva coming from my home state of Maine. it's cool to see the parts coming together from coast to coast. Hope someday I can see Rediviva in New England, maybe even raft up with Arabella.
Yep, I watched, and yep I noticed. I think you have a good plan going forward and the M&H Bartles Sailmakers seem to have a really groovy setup. They are an excellent choice for sails for the boat.
If not 66 & in poor health would be the perfect helper, was Engineer on the 3 mast Black Douglas back in the 70's a 1929 steel hull. In later life became a cabinet maker & learned why a Cabinet Maker always won the Great Texas 300, cat race - attention to detail. Even though only good for 2 hours a day work, still appreciate both of your long hard day's & wish I had that young energy.
Best of luck guys with the local help. I am sure there are many people that have the right skills and passion to help you deliver your goals. Eamonn from Worcester (UK).
I completely understand the drive to do everything oneself. My house has needed much work over the years, and I am very reluctant to hire anything out. Rarely do others work in the way that I want and I - well - I am kinda cheap. So I am learning to let go a little because getting things completed and improved sometimes is the goal - not doing it myself. So I hire some things out now.
Glad to hear you have a sailmaker picked out. As OneEyed Mike said below, you two need to take a sailing break. Take some time, borrow a boat or crew with someone for a one or two week cruise. It will make a huge difference. I'm sure you could find someone to "boat sit" for you and take care of Swab. Take care both of you. Hugs to Swab.
Funny y'all said keeping an old craft alive as I am working on a chainmaile shirt at the moment wearing self made leather boots. I'm a journeyman carpenter (retired) with training in drafting and design as well as mechanically inclined. As a home owner I've had to do a lot of plumbing and electrical on a budget.
I've watched everyone of your videos and would love to help on the mechanical side of Rediviva but I'm 4000mls away here in Liverpool uk. The best of British to you both.
I'd wondered where the sails were coming from but never imagined you'd find them so far away. Keep Fairclough Sailmakers of New Haven CT in your back pocket, if the need should arrive. Congrats on your new tack; hope it works well for you. I'll be watching!
verry nice to see a traditional enterprise with machines from my country (Pfaff) which are around the world the epitome of crafty machines (and sadly the brand does not exist anymore). So, the sails will be “traditional stitching” (Ruth) in more than one sense! I am not currently in a position to donate any significant amount to anyone - but I certainly support 1. traditional craftmanship and 2. local small businesses! In shor: I love the whole video and am sad not to be able to support this except morally!
Congrats on finding your sail-makers. I can't wait to see their work and whole-heartedly appreciate the keeping another small American family business in the mix of working on an American built boat. I wish I could come help with some planing, interior construction, electrical, plumbing, or whatever, but my physical and monetary limitations prevent me from doing so. I hope you find a few good folks to help you get some projects knocked out. Again, please consider easing all of those corners on the interior and exterior woodwork, if you haven't yet. Bulkhead panels, control boxes, etc... I don't want to see either of you, or your help/crew take a fall and get cut (or worse) when it could have been just a bruise. See you two lovely young folks on the next video. BTW... I still have not heard Garrett deny being related to Keano Reeves 😉.
A fantastic step, I would love to help but Adelaide South Australia is a bit too far to travel. I will continue to watch the adds and leave comments. Stay Safe and I hope there are people with the right skills that are in a position to help.
If I may, get yourselves a spiral notebook..sit down and divide your project into a series of "status" segments I.E. Hull, what is accomplished what is needed, do the same for each system, plumbing for raw water, sea water, engine, electrical, rigging etc. Stay put in each segment until its complete! you have come a long way, there will be more to do! It's great to have help, but unless they can be directed from start to completion in a specific area of the project........... you will sure get in each other's way! Take some time to reflect on what's been accomplished .........something as simple as a "notebook" as suggested will help you regain your enthusiasm, and your ultimate goal! Oh, and don't lose the notebook! "Sea trials ar not to far off"
I'm burnt out just watching you two. Sometimes one needs to step away and think abut other things for a while. Take a break. Get separate part-time jobs, schedule one or two days a week working on the boat for the winter. Come spring you will have more money and a new appreciation of each other as well as the boat. I teach. Many of my families have been asking for tutors in reading and English, as well as baby-sitting during this stay-at-home school year. Easy to get self-employment gig. Just my thoughts. Outrageous eh?
Wow I live a few miles (15) north of Boothbay Harbor and I bet your sail maker might have worked on the sails for my favorite schooner the Stephen Taber out of Rockkand, Maine just 40 minutes to my east. When I first sailed on the Taber (the oldest documented sailing vessel in continuous use in the US asked to lead OP Sail in 1976 in NYC harbor but it was just bought and they didnt feel they could handle the ordeal and also lose 3 weeks revenue for their new venture (rats))) she was first from Camden when I met her and her delightful new and talented captains Ken and Ellen Barnes they had their 9 year old Noah aboard to polish the brass etc ( and play chess with me.. and he won a lot !!) But now he has a lovely wife Jane and a baby and they bought the Taber and have acquired another. They remind me of you two and I bet you and them would hit it off nice as sailing kindred spirits. The Tabet was completely rebuilt except for a good portion of the keel which had hogged back in the early 80's so it still maintains its status and is good for another 100 years. Sailing each of 6 week long seavacations on the Penibscot Bay were the best vacations I have ever experienced and my family has a long history sailing together so the Taber had some competition on the favorite category.
This is the most important question right here. Figure out a total of what you are going to need and then start a gofundme for the sail project for that amount. Yu have enough fllower here on youtube it will be raised in no time flat. For comparison, Travels with Geordie just did one for an engine and he 's exceeded his goal by a fair margin in the first 24 hours.You need the numbers though
I think it is a great idea asking for help. If this world had enough freedom, I would fly over, hire a camper van and park it on the hard somewhere. I also have other commitments but you will get many offers I am sure. xx
Hi guys, happy to add to the Paypal fund for sails, I know my Patreon contribution is small so this will help a bit I hope. Fyi my offer still stands to cast something custom in Bronze if I can. I'll be in touch thru Patreon. Redevia sailing in 2021, yes!!! you have to beat Doug on SV Seeker! cheers warren
i'd recommend accepting the help of a finish carpenter to help with the interior. for someone that does not do such work on a regular basis it can be daunting and quite tedious. good luck from a resident of antioch marina.
I had a bad experience with PayPal so much that Amex had to intervene. I had offered to help with ground tackle, but you guys seem to be set there. As a former finisher for North Sails, I would love to contribute to the sail fund. Let me know if there’s a way to do this. Al
What jobs do you need done or completed. Make a list and put it out so volunteers know what is needed. Be task oriented. You are heading for completion so there are lots of smaller tasks to be completed.
You just might be surprised how many crafts-persons likely watch this channel and have skills to rival or exceed those of this young couple. The question is, whether they are close by and have the time to go help. Oh, and if they will during the rolling lock-downs of Covid-19/2020.
Yep, in my almost 50 years on this rock I've acquired serious skill sets. From low voltage tech, industrial automation tech, cabinet maker. Own a cabinet shop now, build furniture to. Have even built a wooden boat.
@@chrisruthford4492 hey, me too. Got greasy on my first car at 5 years old helping a neighbor hand pack wheel bearings for his 60's Porsche. I am a newbie carpenter, but have been a new construction builder and a remodeling guy into everything from excavation and concrete all the way up to the roof except for fine finish carpentry. I've done basic trim, but that was about it for finishing. I also had my hands in automation building control systems for the Louisville UPS hub through a contractor's business as a team leader (with a degree in electrical engineering), I spent my time in the US Army as a Generator Tech, a Light Wheel Mechanic, and a Sniper. I spent time over the roads of America as a long haul Trucker. And just finished my third degree in May as an Education major in middle grades Mathematics (5-9th grades). So, I understand multiple interests over the years and a varied level of expertise in many subjects. I just turned 50 a few weeks ago myself. This COVID garbage has made the job hunt a little difficult, so I do have the time to go help, I just don't have the funds to make the trip across the country from KY to the west coast. I so wish I did though. Your name sound so familiar, do you have a YT channel?
I have been working on my own boat on and off for about 10 years now with its restoration almost there now it has taken so long because it is all self funded I dont believe in asking for donations or having a GoFundMe I know sails are not cheap in fact I am using second hand sails but paid for by myself in fact boat building or just owning a boat is not cheap by the way you have done a fantastic job on Rediviva but you need to take time out from working on the boat and just spend time with yourselves get away for the weekend or just go to the beach go to the pub have a meal and a beer or two you are only young what is the rush just enjoy life.
Have you thought about hiring pros to do some of the finish stuff? I’m not in any way knocking your work as it’s been incredible and it’s quality very, very good. But I know at this point you just want to get her under sail as quickly as possible. Hell, a little fundraising might be all that’s required to push her over the finish line.
I really hope you realize how fortunate you are having strangers foot the bill for your wants. Lots of homelessness in the country,abandoned animals that need help and youre getting donations. Love and light
Yeah, I wish folks would help those less fortunate more too. However, I hope you are not casting shade on these young folks for living their dream? If people wish to support that dream in return for the entertainment and a bit of education from the channel, that is their right to do so. I only hope they also help those in need. Heck, most of us pay for some sort of streaming service or television signal provider, do you write to them that their money could be going to the homeless and needy animals? Just wondering. Signed, Devil's Advocate
Taking on help is a great idea to assist with projects, however, please do it with safety in mind both for you and the crew you take on. The corona virus is still raging throughout the country and even though you are relatively young, healthy and in good condition that is no guarantee that you will little to no problems with the virus should you contract it. Please keep yourself and those you care about safe.
If you find a good sailmaker who can do a custom cut, you need to nurture them. They are rare. I was lucky that one of the guys in our class was a great sailor and started making his own sails when he was in college and, a couple of years later, making them for other people. He won multiple national championships and a couple of world championships with the sails he'd made. It was brilliant to be able to discuss cut and shape with him.
One thing I remember was that his main sewing machine was let into the sail loft floor so that the deck of the machine was level with the floor. The operator, sitting below the floor, could slide the sail panels across the floor straight into the sewing machine.
Bootbay Maine is a wonderful little town. My wife and I have been there several times.
Wow that stitching is amazing

Wow I live a few miles (15) north of Boothbay Harbor and I bet your sail maker might have worked on the sails for my favorite schooner the Stephen Taber out of Rockkand, Maine just 40 minutes to my east. When I first sailed on the Taber (the oldest documented sailing vessel in continuous use in the US asked to lead OP Sail in 1976 in NYC harbor but it was just bought and they didnt feel they could handle the ordeal and also lose 3 weeks revenue for their new venture (rats))) she was first from Camden when I met her and her delightful new and talented captains Ken and Ellen Barnes they had their 9 year old Noah aboard to polish the brass etc ( and play chess with me.. and he won a lot !!) But now he has a lovely wife Jane and a baby and they bought the Taber and have acquired another. They remind me of you two and I bet you and them would hit it off nice as sailing kindred spirits. The Tabet was completely rebuilt except for a good portion of the keel which had hogged back in the early 80's so it still maintains its status and is good for another 100 years. Sailing each of 6 week long seavacations on the Penibscot Bay were the best vacations I have ever experienced and my family has a long history sailing together so the Taber had some competition on the favorite category.
What an awesome tale, thanks for sharing! I'm sure they know of it if nothing else. Love that the Swab is now Captain

I have them on my schooner.
Ooooohhhh bonus vid
what is the money goal for the sail?
This is the most important question right here. Figure out a total of what you are going to need and then start a gofundme for the sail project for that amount. Yu have enough fllower here on youtube it will be raised in no time flat. For comparison, Travels with Geordie just did one for an engine and he 's exceeded his goal by a fair margin in the first 24 hours.You need the numbers though
get a time total off like the Arabellas do, without motivation its not fun and risk for mistakes
I think it is a great idea asking for help. If this world had enough freedom, I would fly over, hire a camper van and park it on the hard somewhere. I also have other commitments but you will get many offers I am sure. xx
Yeah, I only hope not everyone assumes that everyone else will help and no-one reaches out based on that assumption.
Hi guys, happy to add to the Paypal fund for sails, I know my Patreon contribution is small so this will help a bit I hope. Fyi my offer still stands to cast something custom in Bronze if I can.
I'll be in touch thru Patreon. Redevia sailing in 2021, yes!!! you have to beat Doug on SV Seeker! cheers warren
i'd recommend accepting the help of a finish carpenter to help with the interior. for someone that does not do such work on a regular basis it can be daunting and quite tedious.
good luck from a resident of antioch marina.
I had a bad experience with PayPal so much that
Amex had to intervene. I had offered to help with ground tackle, but you guys seem to be set there. As a former finisher for North Sails, I would love to contribute to the sail fund.
Let me know if there’s a way to do this. Al
Can not leave Berlin right now, and don't want to fly anymore. Hope you'll find skilled helpers in your area soon.
Thank Q
Great
Accepting offers of help? About time too =;-)) Can't physically get there, so I've chipped in a bit through Paypal.
Rent a van or camper for a week and head to Yosemite, I’ll greet you with some cold beers!
Nice taking on help will get the engine revved up. Love to help but on the other side of the country.
I live just north of there
What jobs do you need done or completed. Make a list and put it out so volunteers know what is needed. Be task oriented. You are heading for completion so there are lots of smaller tasks to be completed.
Nice
Wish I could help but Hi from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Same here. Bummer huh??
I dont think the random person will not be able to do the craftsmanship that you are capable of
You just might be surprised how many crafts-persons likely watch this channel and have skills to rival or exceed those of this young couple. The question is, whether they are close by and have the time to go help. Oh, and if they will during the rolling lock-downs of Covid-19/2020.
Yep, in my almost 50 years on this rock I've acquired serious skill sets. From low voltage tech, industrial automation tech, cabinet maker. Own a cabinet shop now, build furniture to. Have even built a wooden boat.
@@chrisruthford4492 hey, me too. Got greasy on my first car at 5 years old helping a neighbor hand pack wheel bearings for his 60's Porsche. I am a newbie carpenter, but have been a new construction builder and a remodeling guy into everything from excavation and concrete all the way up to the roof except for fine finish carpentry. I've done basic trim, but that was about it for finishing. I also had my hands in automation building control systems for the Louisville UPS hub through a contractor's business as a team leader (with a degree in electrical engineering), I spent my time in the US Army as a Generator Tech, a Light Wheel Mechanic, and a Sniper. I spent time over the roads of America as a long haul Trucker. And just finished my third degree in May as an Education major in middle grades Mathematics (5-9th grades). So, I understand multiple interests over the years and a varied level of expertise in many subjects. I just turned 50 a few weeks ago myself. This COVID garbage has made the job hunt a little difficult, so I do have the time to go help, I just don't have the funds to make the trip across the country from KY to the west coast. I so wish I did though.
Your name sound so familiar, do you have a YT channel?
I have been working on my own boat on and off for about 10 years now with its restoration almost there now it has taken so long because it is all self funded I dont believe in asking for donations or having a GoFundMe I know sails are not cheap in fact I am using second hand sails but paid for by myself in fact boat building or just owning a boat is not cheap by the way you have done a fantastic job on Rediviva but you need to take time out from working on the boat and just spend time with yourselves get away for the weekend or just go to the beach go to the pub have a meal and a beer or two you are only young what is the rush just enjoy life.
Too far away, hope you get the skills you need. Good luck on keeping the chalk lines down with 2 fluffy, playful chalk erasers.
Have you thought about hiring pros to do some of the finish stuff? I’m not in any way knocking your work as it’s been incredible and it’s quality very, very good. But I know at this point you just want to get her under sail as quickly as possible. Hell, a little fundraising might be all that’s required to push her over the finish line.
I really hope you realize how fortunate you are having strangers foot the bill for your wants. Lots of homelessness in the country,abandoned animals that need help and youre getting donations. Love and light
Yeah, I wish folks would help those less fortunate more too.
However, I hope you are not casting shade on these young folks for living their dream? If people wish to support that dream in return for the entertainment and a bit of education from the channel, that is their right to do so. I only hope they also help those in need. Heck, most of us pay for some sort of streaming service or television signal provider, do you write to them that their money could be going to the homeless and needy animals? Just wondering.

Devil's Advocate
Dogs and Kids know when to act up
Forward & upwards, I would block all the negative people, now where was the Swab it could have been a 3 way tug a war LOL.
I think they might be a small, local husband and wife sailmaker.
I’m to far away otherwise I would love to help you. Keep up the great work, and keep in mind that the reward will be great!
Sounds like one of the schoolie crew would be useful.
"the dog ate my sails"
Get the motor up and running and the tiller , helm fitted. Then your boat is mobile ,these sails are cheep , so you should handle the cost , ok
I'd not call anything that ends in 000's cheap!!
😯👍👍👍👌❤❤❤
👍👍
Taking on help is a great idea to assist with projects, however, please do it with safety in mind both for you and the crew you take on. The corona virus is still raging throughout the country and even though you are relatively young, healthy and in good condition that is no guarantee that you will little to no problems with the virus should you contract it. Please keep yourself and those you care about safe.
Finally, a reference to the elephant in the room.
I live nearby if you ever need someone local.
👍
I wish then success it is a very small market
