Salt & Tar: Episode 58-Embracing Yard Life
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- Diving into yard life again. Long and productive days. Napa is hot so taking mid-day breaks is huge. The second half of the day when it's still warm but the decks are fully shaded are the best. After our work here in the yard is complete we'll be looking for a slip closer to the bay to continue fitting the boat together and then sea trials. So if anyone knows of a marina anywhere in the San Fransisco area that will take us for a couple months let us know! We are a wooden boat and need liveaboard to stay on track and on task. The dream is not to live at a dock but to be free on anchor or on the ocean sailing! Having the dock would still be really helpful for the next few stages but ultimately we'll be home-basing from Richardson's bay in Sausalito. It's a huge free anchorage close to the best winds the bay has to offer. Yard life is treating us well but yes we are anxious to get back in to the water!!!
Cheers everyone!
Thanks for watching

I am living in Oklahoma and binge watching y'alls adventures. My sister has a condo at Alameda Del Prado, and to see you guys in the area, I won't say for your privacy, but to see the powerlines and the river and such. I haven't been visiting the area since 2016. Brings hapiness to my heart. Thank you for your channel and content. Peace and prayers, love on.
I am still a working carpenter at 66. Most people can handle straight lines and 90 corners, but anything more than that becomes art. It always takes lots more time, let alone the time in your head preplanning it. But the results shine and give you a body rush when you see it, even years later. I have layed in bed after days like that and enjoyed a euphoric wellbeing lulling me to sleep because of a productive day. Hats off to both of you.
Davis Purce 👍👍👍 you’re a cool dude in my book 👍👍👍
Boatlife today used big fender washers and screw to hold deck planking down temporarily till the glue set. He screwed it down on the edge of the plank where the glue bead lays between the boards.
Willow good idea!!! Then there are no holes in planking but when they fill the hole doing it the way they plan on doing it and stain it , it will make it look great as if there was nails holding it. The way you mentioned would be easier tho if they can make sure to fill each hole that would be harder to see between the planks Great idea tho 👍👍👍
Grew up in the outskirts of Sacramento, and my uncle owned a cabin at the mouth of Tomalas Bay, so many days we would take different routes through Napa and Petaluma on our way to his cabin. The heat is rough in the San Joaquin valley, with high humidity, so to crawl into your cabin at night must not be easy. I would need more than a small fan, so it's not as easy as it looks coping with the heat and being able to do those long hrs. Hang in there, it's lookin pretty darn good. From a retired union carpenter, keep the focus and don't let any weather take your eye off the prize.
Could I suggest a "full" face 3M face mask? See Cory. This mask covers eyes, nose, and mouth. Change the pre-filters daily and the secondary filters every third day. Toxins enter the body through ears, eyes, nose, hair, and skin. Would have loved to see you guys wearing full-body overalls. Sweat attracts more toxins than any other body function. You both look awesome...wear the gear to help you look as good as you do.
Captain Ron you cannot wear full body overalls in 100 degrees or higher heat. This humidity makes it feel like 110 to 115 degrees.
@@mwatkins2464 Then again, copper and lead poisoning makes it feel as if you are dead...oh wait, you will be dead if you do not wear full body protective gear...go figure.
Captain Ron just where is the lead and copper poisoning going to come from?? Not from what they are doing so none of what you’re saying is needed at all. Maybe a dust mask if wind is not blowing. I’m not dead and I done this for years
That is one Heck of a teaser!
Wonderful, looks great and no leaks!
Garrett and you are doing one hell of a job on that boat I like Garrett so methodical he thinks everything through thoroughly I like that and you you're right there with him every step can't wait to see you on the open see she's a worthy boat no worries she will do you well keep up the good work guys
That is a lovely pooper!
What a great look you gotta love a wooden deck , Feels so good under bare feet . You two characters keep me smiling thru this whole episode and the boat keeps looking better ..
I’m glad to see the two of you are still focused and you do things the way you want to do them not to what other people want to suggest another great video 👍👍👍
Beautiful deck
With Ruthie's seemingly never-ending cheerfulness any project would be a pleasure.
Your deck is going to look awesome.
I hear an angle grinder and 60 grit will make sanding fiber glass a lot easier! Thank you for the videos!
Absolutely should have used an angle grinder, look how they were using the edge of those sanders!
Erik Nordlund is use 40 grit myself
Ruth, you have the patience of Job,Well done! 👍
Looking so great
Your attention to detail in the build is very refreshing especially in a world of diminishing wood working skills. Keep up the great work. Here in Aussie it's freezing, enjoy the warm weather.
David Craddock only you southerners are freezing Queensland’s not.
Nice and sunny here in NZ today.
Great video as always, but: Ruth you just stole the show. I've always been impressed with your beauty, but in this video you are just glowing. Wow, Wow, Wow.
Is'nt she the cutest young lady on earth !!? And a good worker too ! Lucky man !!
Don’t forget that life is what is happening while you are worried about your lifestyle. You two are doing a wonderful job and Redaviva is beautiful. It’s getting so close to watching you two part some waves. 🍻
The best way to help these creative people is to get them as many likes as we can. Spread the news. Get your mates to like Rediviva videos.
Great idea ! Those kids deserve more than 39k viewers. Should be 390k al least.
That last teaser shot ... BEAUTIFUL !
I assumed you were going to plank over all that paint; shows what I know. By the way, your play lists are great. I know you credit them at the end of each episode but some day I hope you have time to do two things: list all of the artists you listen to and give us a little biographical sketch. The two of you are so multitalented it is just amazing. Your segments are really well edited which must be time consuming in and of itself. Hat tip to the person that provided you with the Yamaha outboard motor.
Never seen oregon (douglas fir) timber used as thin veneer deck planking before. This is because (I perhaps incorrectly believed) it is such such a soft wood; good for interior framing and if used outside, then as heavy planking or coated for protection on masts and spars. But I'm always super impressed with your breathless courage in continually disregarding all the time honored boat design and boat building rules that some old fogies stupidly stick by . Your videos are great and sometimes startling. And of course, I'm endlessly engrossed by the wise and considered comments from the armchair admirals each installment. I'm truly fascinated with what lies ahead.
Watching your video makes me want to quit my job, get up from the computer and head out into the 97f heat and work 12hrs a day on something like this....seriously! It must be so rewarding to see your hard work coming to fruition. Beautiful woodwork, beautiful boat and you are a beautiful team. I look forward to your continued journey. Thank you for bringing us along. 😊
Wow, I’m just amazed at the tenacity and ability to stick to a project and realize a dream. I love your personalities and friendship and love for each other. Inspirational to say the least.
I really don't like the the lines of the boat but, I do appreciate every thing you are doing and the care you are giving everything you do. Both of you work in harmony and that makes a great relationship and the beauty of both of your craftsmanship is magnificent. Simply assume beautiful job both of you.....
REAL Woodgrain decking is awesome, glad you are taking the time and effort to do it right. You will never look back and wish for Painted surfaces. Awesome Vid. Also, when you both smile and laugh..... we are with you, smiling and laughing too.
It is so nice to watch your beautiful little ship come together, but spending time in your company is the best part. You both seem gentle warm sincere and fun. I hope I get to see this dream fully realized.
Thank you for sharing. The deck will look great.
A lot of work to use Douglas Fir. I was apprehensive when you said you were using DF as the deck planking but after some resource reading I was pleasantly educated, DF will be a great choice. Bravo for your research and choice to use it.
The sneak peek you gave us at the end was a cliff hanger. Linda and I can't wait to see the next show.
Cheers,
Jay ⛵
That deck is going to be beautiful and it won't leak. Great work guys. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care, drink lots of water or your favorite beverage and keep on keeping on.
You guys sure are an inspiration. I'm in the middle of a major restoration project right now (not nautical) and if it wasn't for people like you, Doug and Leo I probably would be months behind where I am right now. I get a little burnt out, see a new post from you then tell myself, "they're still chugging along, no reason I cant be".
People look at large projects in terms of dollar signs and completely miss the total scope of the work being done. There are countless hours figuring out how to realize the next step, coordinating different sub-projects so they don't interfere with each other, figuring materials, always thinking 4 phases into the future, etc., etc.
THEN if that doesn't wear you down enough you gotta get up and DO THE WORK! We can't leave out all the layabouts and scoffers that will tell you you're wasting you resources and time when you could be on the couch watching football or pissing your money away at the bar every night.
You're doing a great job and I eagerly anticipate future videos of you taking her on adventures. THANK YOU!!!
How satisfying it must be to see your years of hard work coming together. It is a beautiful thing to watch the many small tasks fit together and bring your dreams to life.
You two are just incredible, love your patience , attention to detail and teamwork , I just want to keep watching the progress unfold it’s fantastic , I would love to come and give you a weeks free work in exchange for those breakfasts every morning but France is quite a distance ,,, keep em coming and when you sail to Europe head to Brittany and Breakfast will be on me guys x
If you plan a minimal spacing between the planks, perhaps using a black resin as grout to completely waterproof the deck
William Sevedge I agree that will look great 👍
That deck is amazing!
love you both
The deck will look great when you are finished. The whole boat looks great so far. Job well done!
You are a very lucky guy to have such a hard working partner that seems to have the same high energy as yourself, waiting patiently to see your fruits of the labor. hopefully the spring of 2020. Carry on mates
Going to look nice. Your way of doing it sure saves a lot of time cutting all those nibs into the King Plank.I did a deck like this once and it was a killer. Made out of teak and sprung into place on a 70 foot power boat. Watching is much more pleasant the doing it.
Thanks.
Awesomeness......that is all. She will be one beautiful vessel.....
When dealing with the screw holes - do as you say and syringe in epoxy but have your bungs ready there and then - a bit slower but job done in one. Great progress guys.
Wow you guys look great !!!!!!
BACON! Well yeah I'll come help! Beautiful work as always, thank you for raising the bar in the best way.
MY MY MY!!! What a beautiful video watching until at the end my jaws dropped at the incredible beauty of the decking then suddenly vanished! Thanks to you I now have to eagerly wait for the next video and luckily I am a patient guy! Great Ending and can't wait to see the next one.. Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!
It's all coming together with a whiz and a whack! Great progress! Full of admiration for your grit and determination!
~~~ Just wonderful my friends........I have been with you both from your start . What a joy it has been ....Thank you so much.
The detail you are aspiring to is remarkable. Your work ethic is awesome, working during the heat of the day. Finished deck will look awesome, you guys are something that we all can aspire to. Thanks for the video
Watched every episode each one better than the one before, amazing progress, you guys are going to have so much fun sailing that boat, love your music choices
Tough work in the Napa sun! 'Gunna be nice' cheers Warren
What a nice job, the decks going to look beautiful.
I love you two you work so well together
I am impressed with your work ethic and focus to achieve your goals. "God is in the detail" and he certainly is looking down on yours. Being ignorant of general boat building, I have two queries:
1) Why did you have to remove the paint finish, was the paint not good enough for adhesion of the deck planking?
2) A floor sander would have made light work of the bulk paint removal and would have saved you such toil!
Keep up the good work.
An educated guess at the answers.
1. the paint layer makes for a poor bonding surface, this would result in rapid delamination of the epoxy/deck plank composite.
2. Having used floor sanders (on far too many occasions), they do not work well on curved surfaces and are prone to rip through the surface you are sanding if not kept in constant motion.
clive williams epoxy adheres to fiberglass with a very strong bond. If used over paint then you are just depending on a thin layer of paint to bond everything which is very weak.
You guys are a inspiration to me when I'm having a bad day and get a new video from you now I'm thinking on how I'll build my new cabin sole
Oh thank you! You help us too in the bad days. Cheers to motivation
Beautiful work guys.......its really starting to look polished and even more amazing.
Hell yea.. thats gonna look and feel soooo good. When you guys started that paint and glass top I cringed thinking thats how it was going to stay. Now planking that is "the only way to go".. and "way to go guys"!!
You are basically using a veneer on your decks. I had a little cold molded racing sloop that was setup the same way. Calked with 5200. After a couple of years because there really wasn’t enough depth to the 1/4” veneer the boat working in a seaway started popping the seams. I worked hard trying keep her sealed up, There was a plywood and fiberglass under deck but water somehow found it’s way under the veneer and into end grains in the hull and started to rot unabated and unknown to me. Within 5 years this beautiful sloop was unrepairable and was a total loss. Just a word of caution. If you can think of any place where water can stand under that veneer and get to bare wood. Be proactive and seal it up.
Alectron Dorfman no screws or holes will be in this deck. It’s going to be sealed up with epoxy covering the whole deck with no thru holes. Planks will not be screwed down but will be epoxied in place. The screws are used to just hold the planks till epoxy sets then removed then holes drilled out and filled with epoxy. The entire deck will be epoxied to stop all water leaks from ever happening. 👍👍
I am aware of that. Just providing a caution fwiw since I had a boat that was lost that used the same production technique. We thought she was impervious to harm as well. But the weak spot was the veneer, which was so thin it could not support the caulk. That is where the water entered and found its way to a vulnerable spot we didn’t think existed
Alectron Dorfman that sure must have been a shocker to do all that work on your boat and have something like that happen. Sorry that happened to you take care 👍👍
@@mwatkins2464 Thank-you for the sentiment. The real tragedy was the loss of this beautiful boat. She was a star beater and at one time seemed like she was the fastest boat on Biscayne Bay. She had beautiful classic lines and carried a cloud of sail.
Alectron Dorfman sounds like she was a dream come true. Sorry you lost her 👍👍
With the screws breaking off. Try spraying all of them with WD40 which acts as a mold release before setting them in so they don't get set in the epoxy. Put them in a zip lock, spray in the WD40 and mix around. If they are stuck, you can heat up the screw with a soldering gun to soften the epoxy and they should release.
Throw the mast overboard!!! Good to see you being so careful with the dust... your lungs appreciate it!!!
Y'all are amazing. always uploading such uplifting video's. Thanks for sharing with this old man. Be safe
Nice one
You teased us with the final shot!
good stuff as usual s & t.
much enjoyed.
Can't wait to see the next video!
Great work guys - keep momentum. You are nearly there, and the Tar will meet the Salt pretty soon.
Looking Great Guys!!
A great way to start my morning. Cup of Joe and your upload . Thanx..
I backed out of purchasing the Bolero over in Paradise Cay because I couldn't find a slip. I had some other small obstacles I'm still working on, but the slip-search was the killer for me. You folks will have a better search, starting with a two-month lead, but, expletive, expletive, deleted, it ain't easy! About three years ago, I started my boat search with Kirby while looking at the Malvorneen Mary, I dreamed of that boat for at least a year. Ahh, the search goes on? I love following you guys. I hope to make a donation in person, soon.
you guys. Do you realize what you are creating... This will be a forever boat... it's stunning...
Stunning deck. Cannot wait for your updates.
Looks great, nice job.
That was fun, Thanks!
Well done!
Super cool music at 16:30
Hello guys have you ever thought about using flapper disks on a grinder to take of the paint. on your decks it would be a lot faster than sanding disks just a thought for you. great work your doing
Thanks for the video, I couldn't wait to turn it on when I saw you up loaded this video, the boat will be beautiful 😁
NO king plank for the cabin top!
Love the longer video!!
Today’s WONDERFUL episode was one bowl of Pho long. In other words perfect. Rediviva is definitely going to be “sexy and shippy”. Best of luck finding a slip.
You Guy’s are doing a wonderfull job, love the lay-out of the deck
It sure is going to be a beautiful boat when you get finished. Nice Job.
Love it‼️ Why don't you put a tarp over your heads to keep the sun off you and the deck⁉️. GOOD LUCK ⛵️⛵️ Vinny 🇺🇸
I was going to suggest that too ! 97 degrees, scorching sun ! I'd die right there.
Fyi with knots like that turn it over and bend Into it not away from it and it won't split
Go salt!
Nicely done
Paint or cover the end grain of your king post before it really starts to dry out & check. Great job you guys your an inspiration,,
HI guys, believe it or not but pouring the heat to the cap board with a heat gun will do wonders in getting the board too make the curve on the rail or anywhere aboard the vessel. Your getting there ! Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Great Vlog Guys locking forward to the Next One :).
I have the same yellow broom as you. When I need a hand broom to get into tight spaces, I unscrew the handle from the brush, and use just the brush. This is the limit of my technical aptitude! :¬) Webhead USA
Hi Ruth & Garreth,
I love watching the project moving along. One thing struck me watching this episode:
It's clearly very hot on deck at the moment, yet you work out in the sun. This must be very uncomfortable.
So why not hang a tarpaulin as a 'parasol'? You've got wood for posts, a rope, a tarp and some string...
It won't be perfect, but it might make things slightly more comfortable...
BTW Garreth , using flip-flops as a kneeling-pad is brilliant!
'Fair winds and following seas'.

I love you guys.
Love that Festool Rotex. Great choice! You might look into using tile spacers for the planking. Reusable and do not have to make them.
2:30 - just want folks to know "we are NOT crazy people". Presumably these folks haven't followed your channel and seen you commit your entire lives to building a wooden boat, entirely with a pencil, some tar and small bottles of beer...good luck with convincing them =:-)))...but you are both lovely people, so that's ok. :))
If you screw down the planks where the seams are you can avoid drilling holes in the planking. Use a washer with the screw to spread the load out.
No leaks is very important indeed! Good call.
It looks marvelous! (Billy Crystal...SNL) remember? Just an "it" in place of "you"
Thanks for the video.
Man! that looks sweet!
excellent job keep it up almost done
You two have been missed, we all have wondered how things were progressing. The deck boards that you clamped down to conform to the shape of the deck. What if you had kept wet to soften the fibers? I have built several lap streak runabouts and soaked the timbers in the tank for a week or so prior to clamping into position. I was using Cypress so that may be different from what you would do with Douglas Fir.
I am really liking the look of the decks. I had teak on my Irwin 45 Ketch, you had to maintain it but it was what I liked.
Now I see how freckles are made 11:37 lol. Great job, the boat looks beautiful.
superb le pont 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
Nice work you should be proud
