LIVE Sailboat Tour of Bristol Channel Cutter Calypso - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

We went live aboard a small cruising boat in Annapolis during the Annapolis Sailboat Show with Nica and Jeremy Waters, cruisers who went all-in on their beloved 28' Bristol Channel Cutter, Calypso. Over the last few years they've made a great many updates and improvements to her, structurally and systems-wise, and now they're ready to head out after this shakedown cruise to button up the rest of the work while voyaging. It's a plan that's been in the works for a while, and now the dream is being realized!

Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building a 38' wooden boat in Steve's 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 are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority Jamestown Distributors Referral: If you are going to shop at Jamestown Distributors, please consider using our Total Boat referral code: http://totalboat.refr.cc/steveandalixa?t=tg To offer recurring support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Original Soundtrack available at benfundis.bandcamp.com FOLLOW US: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acorntoarabella/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acorntoarabella Website: http://www.acorntoarabella.com
