Many hands in the shop make boat building more fun...and more sawdusty than ever! And two critical 40-foot cuts after all that, which are true acts of derring do. The covering boards are such an important part of the boat deck structure, it's all hands on deck for this part of the boat building process of this DIY wooden sailboat. A2A is in the news! These are great links to share with someone you know would love our story. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/18/metro/hours-ocean-sailboat-dream-becomes-an-internet-sensation/ https://www.wcvb.com/article/acorn-to-arabella-is-the-inspiring-story-of-a-non-sailor-building-a-sailboat-from-scratch/40593693 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur boat builder building a 38' wooden boat in his 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 he and the crew 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 TotalBoat Referral: Need something TotalBoat sells?
