It's astounding to me how much I don't have any idea about relative to boat building. It's amazing how much you two know! What patience and tenacity you have - incredible! Thanks for sharing.
F/A, your brother has some seriously mad skills and patience. That's a skill that you don't get over night, a totally cool segment in your video thanks for sharing.
This episode was by far the most interesting to date! I think the best episode so far was when she left her home in Oregon...that was quite touching. Thank you Ruth for capturing this whole journey, and not to mention sharing it us to...you are amazing!
It is very pleasing news to hear that Garrett & Tyler had a mentor in the traditional ways. It is a high honor to be given the tools of a mentor. Count me in to see more of Tyler's work. For anyone interested, Clifford Ashley's Book Of Knots (ABOK) shows much of the serving, splicing, etc of these methods. Of course there are several YT videos on the subject.
Really love seeing people like Tyler preserving the tradition with modern materials. I don't work with Kevlar much, I only spliced a few kevlar mooring lines in the Navy for training. I work exclusively with Dyneema, but after seeing this it has encouraged me to get out my copy the Rigger's Apprentice and review some core principals. I'm sure there are many folks out there who would prefer the authenticity of these methods for their classic or modern classic boats. If you are interested in Dynemma (probably 160% the strength of Kevlar), shoot me a message on FB. The splicing methods are actually less intense, but the Parcel & Serving labor isn't required and the result is a similar looking black line but with no tar, way less stretch, and zero corrosion over time.
never heard of it. I thought kevlar was strongest. Holy snap that stuff sounds crazy...must be pricey google said it's 15 times stonger than steel and that kevlar is 7 times stronger, so that's more like 210% stronger than kevlar....which is just crazy when you consider what an advancement kevlar was.
Another great video. It was so good to actually see someone worm, parcel and serve. I've read about it and tried it on a small scale, but. never seen it done by a pro. Thanks for showing that.
I've been around wooden boats and boat builders most of my life and this is the first time I have seen anyone talk about or use this serving mallet that you were showing us here.. hmmm very interesting.. My grandfather taught me to do this all by hand wrapping each layer by hand, but this looks like a much easier way to do it, even on fishing rods this could be done for the eyelets on the rods and even the way Tyler buries the tail is different. I was taught to lay a loop in the line underneath and wind over it to the end and put the tail in that and then pull through.. It's very interesting to see how similar things are done overseas.
I'd love to see more on rigging. And it's funny how I get excited when I see a new video pop up from you guys. You don't over do it like some folks out there. I'm looking forward to seeing how the interior develops. Thanks guys! 😎
The journey of a thousand miles starts with but one first step. You two have traveled so far. I think I’ll just hang around until you get to your destination. Bravo!
Gee whizz! You guys are wading deep through ancient Mariners' arts! It's great to see someone maintaining these skills! Pluggin' and Planin' you're nearly there!
Very awesome! I serviced our shrouds the same way. If you add a holder to the end of the mallet handle, it will hold your spoil of twine which makes life much easier.
Ruth and Garrett, I am a week late, but this is a great catch up video. Really enjoyed the rigging work you showed and would like to see more especially the installation of the thimbles. You two have done an amazing job since you started up in the hills above the Columbia. Take care and take time to recharge your personal batteries. Redivide is in the water, but you still have a lot to go. We are all cheering for you.
Tyler is amazing with rope . I have braided eyelets before , but watching Tyler I learned a few things . A series on working with rope would be great . Thanks , keep up the good videos .
I have just watched through all of your videos from the start. I am no boat builder, not even a boat enthusiast, until I discovered your channel alongside the likes of Acorn to Arabella and Sampson Boat Co. Great to see your attitude to it all, and its clearly a productive one. I have come to learn that building a wooden boat from scratch is not a quick process, but it seems your so close to being able to launch her. Happy New Year, all the best for 2019, and consider me hooked to your project!
Amazing video Ruth. Yes, I want more please on the rigging. Background music is great, lots of memories in those tunes. Happy days for you both and happy new year as well.
Lady Africa also did a dyneema rig. According to Maz @saillife the stands don't carry the load they just keep the boat upright. So technically three should be enough. You can undo one and work under it. Or move it. Elsewhere so long as it's set before you move the next one.
It's so close to launch, I can't stand it! (Even though I know it launched already... ) I cannot wait for the next one, you guys have seriously become my favorite channel on TH-cam. My wife knows, if Salt and Tar updates, I will disappear for a while, and that time is sacred. Lol.
First video if the new year! Great subject, my friend on his 40' Tri has same Kevlar rigging with UV shrink tubing to protect the Kevlar from the sun! The other rig folks are using is Spectra/Dynema or variants off as it's UV stable without covering , but more stretchy until set. Really impressed with Tyler's rig choice. And of course defiantly would like to see the entire rig process. Great video , cheers Warren
It's astounding to me how much I don't have any idea about relative to boat building. It's amazing how much you two know! What patience and tenacity you have - incredible! Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciated seeing Tyler explaining the wrapping and serving techniques. Would enjoy seeing more, especiaLLY MAKING EYES.
I feel like I’m back in the 70’s and 80’s with the music.
SV IOREK Do you happen to know the song that plays from the 25:00 mark on?
Yes please ! more on that rigging, much much more...I have never seen that done before and I also find it fascinating !!
Watch Sailing Zingaro
They have several great vids on Synthetic Rigging.
You should check out our channel and blog, it goes into detail on how to do this with your own rigging.
Yes please, more on Tyler and his rigging!
F/A, your brother has some seriously mad skills and patience. That's a skill that you don't get over night, a totally cool segment in your video thanks for sharing.
I'd love to see more on the rigging techniques. Always good to know three or four ways to do anything.
Thanks for the videos
This episode was by far the most interesting to date!
I think the best episode so far was when she left her home in Oregon...that was quite touching.
Thank you Ruth for capturing this whole journey, and not to mention sharing it us to...you are amazing!
Please, more on Tyler's rigging...fascinating
Great episode! I’m so glad to hear your planning on publishing on a regular basis now. You guys are awesome.
Yes, yes I've not seen that done before. Fascinating. I'm inspired and might like to try rigging my rig that way .
Thanks
Great Episode!.....As always!!!!
This was a very informative and interesting episode.....thank you all !!!!

Fantastic rope technology

The poop chute is for real!
The rope work is very interesting

Looking fantastic!
As a dude from the 70's.
You listen to good music.
The journey of a thousand miles starts with but one first step. You two have traveled so far. I think I’ll just hang around until you get to your destination. Bravo!
Gee whizz! You guys are wading deep through ancient Mariners' arts! It's great to see someone maintaining these skills! Pluggin' and Planin' you're nearly there!
Old rhyme from East coast U.K. Worm and parcel with the lay, turn and serve the other way, all in a Norfolk accent!
Great episode. Good work
Wow it's great watching Tyler he really knows what he is doing.
Very awesome! I serviced our shrouds the same way.
If you add a holder to the end of the mallet handle, it will hold your spoil of twine which makes life much easier.
Excellent video.
Wow this is amazing
Great vlog! yes, love to see more on traditional rigging skills.
Congratulation on launching your boat. I look forward to the first time under sail. :)
Ruth, congrats on your soundtracks, love 'em!!!
The rigging was neat.
Ruth and Garrett,

that rigging work was impressive - thanks for sharing his work
Wood Brothers! Good taste in tunes
High props on your site tunes to keep you going. Boat is looking good too!
Hell yea!! Lets see some more of that rigging. That is so cool. I can see many uses for that method. Not just sailing.
Sawdust, so much better than fiberglass dust. Tyler is a monster of knowledge!
Brilliant. Hearing the words, and seeing it done. More on splicing !
Wild! Yesterday a couple green kids were setting up a camper in the woods to build a canoe, look how far they've come. Live the dream.
Can’t wait to see the launch since I cannot see it on Facebook. Good luck you two!!!
Great episode. Happy New Year.
Thanks for the update. Happy New Year. Hope she sits right on her lines!!
Reid's boat looks AWESOME! Love those old sailing rigs.
Learned a few things today. Thank you and Happy New Year.
Yeah, I'd like to see more of that kevlar worming rigging for sure.
Great episode, love your style and creativity!!!!
Holy frickin awesome, that piece of video on rigging was the best ever. Please please please MORE.
Oh that music!!!! What a flashback to my younger days! Awesome! Happy new year guys. Health and happiness to you both.
I have just watched through all of your videos from the start.

Excellent explanation hope there’s more
Loved the rigging and good filming too.
Great work, y'all! Tyler seems to be a natural teacher. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
Oh getting close.
Very interesting video on traditional rigging. Traditional boat building and the skills need to be documented, more the better.
Fantastic work and a GREAT MUSIC MIX!!
Amazing video Ruth. Yes, I want more please on the rigging. Background music is great, lots of memories in those tunes. Happy days for you both and happy new year as well.
30:33 Looks like Garrett done lost his belt again! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year
The boat is looking great. Love the red.
Outstanding Episode.
Mooore Tyler and his rigging please!
Very interesting Rigging I vote for more. Thanks
Aries 32 great choice!
Synthetic Rigging has a lot of appeal for wooden boats. I think it will be great.
Your boat is looking great!
Would be very interested in another video on worming, parcelling, and serving, in particular how it's applied to eye splices, and thimbles. Greg
Tyler and the rigging
Happy New Year to you guys and hopefully you get it done but take your time and don't rush. Still enjoy watch you guys are processing.
I like the red.
It's like serving a bow string just on a much larger scale :)
You must do a vid on the rigging, guys, it is such an important part of the boat. And we must learn the ropes... Happy new year.
More rigging video - that was really interesting how it was going to be done
Dedication, perseverance , and a dream, that is my Salt & Tar team, love you guys, Best in 2019 , great video
Great episode Ruthie, that rope work was fascinating. Happy New Year.
It will all be worth it i am sure,Thanks for sharing.
Take care
Happy New Year from Mallorca - see you one day soon.
Happy New year from Scotland. love the videos and really enjoyed the rigging being made.
Best part of Synthetic Rigging for Cruisers is DIY. You can carry multiple spares and anywhere replace & repair.
Really love the rigging stuff. MOre please
Count me in for more rope rigging, great videos.
Change the World, Dreams, etc 60s music while you build your sailboat.... I see a confluence here.
You have a great play list.
Please more on Tyler's rigging
Lady Africa also did a dyneema rig.
According to Maz @saillife the stands don't carry the load they just keep the boat upright. So technically three should be enough. You can undo one and work under it. Or move it. Elsewhere so long as it's set before you move the next one.
Happy new year from Dumaguete Philippines!
Thank you for this fantastic episode.... The part with the rigging stuff was most interesting.... Happy New year , best of luck in 2019
"Worm and parcel with the lay. Turn and serve the other way"
That's what I was taught too. I don't know why it matters for the parceling.
Love to know more about that rigging.
It's so close to launch, I can't stand it! (Even though I know it launched already... ) I cannot wait for the next one, you guys have seriously become my favorite channel on TH-cam. My wife knows, if Salt and Tar updates, I will disappear for a while, and that time is sacred. Lol.
Happy New Year guys. Loved seeing the rope work.

Really impressed with Tyler's rig choice. And of course defiantly would like to see the entire rig process.
Great video , cheers Warren
I've never been in a yard that wont move a stand as you go. It sure would make the work go more smoothly. Just keep on going.
Why can't you move the stands yourself?
Great music taste.
Love it guys, you better buy Tyler a coffee, I see a lot of rigging questions coming!
Oh my god! A marlinspike!! Well ill be a son of a blushing sailor lol
your boat is honestly and truly beautiful, but i reckon you know that already. :)
Happy New Year!
NICE video [again]
BTW: I think it's interesting to see some more rigging stuff.
