Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 21: Our Lady Victoria

Previously we drove to Rhode Island to build up some connections. While we were there, we were urged to go check out a boat that was for sale near there. We're lucky we did! What a treasure! Victoria is one of the biggest assets we have come across so far! We hope you enjoy the journey she went through to get to us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when they will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to help support the project, please consider becoming a patron at http://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Thank you!
