Salt & Tar: Ep.251- To Light Wind and Brother-ship

[@olecurmudgeon]

Really liked this episode. You are both looking SO much healthier. Nice gentle video. Thanks guys. We are building a 32ft. Gaff ketch. Douglas fir strip plank hull with glass over. 2 years to splash. I hope. 😊

[@BaronKreger]

I can hear the clarity of your thinking, and feel the need to build something Garrett. Glad you two dropped the suds for awhile. I drank for 13 years. When I quit, My Life Began.✌

[@cornelisjmvisser818]

Hi guys, it's really nice to see you on KZbin today, I look forward every week for you guys to pop up. I am stuck in my bed as a result of some strokes I had. Saturday will be my 81st birthday 🎉 Good sailing ❤

[@SaltandTar]

Happy Birthday! Take care of yourself 💕

[@webbtrekker534]

Happy Birthday!! I'm behind ya at 77. Stay Safe!

SWAB! 😃😃 Bless his little cotton socks ♥️♥️

[@jimmierogers935]

24:57 Thanks for you videos. Makes an old man feel young again.

[@rodneyallen5003]

So glad that you guys were able to get Rediviva seaworthy enough to get your lives back under sail and put her through an intensive set of sea trials, enroute to Mexico 🤙🏼 ). I remember the episode , about a year ago, where you were frustrated with not being ready yet with multiple engine/transmission problems and wondering if you were going to take a break from boat-building and walk away for a bit. However that call of the sea was persistent and your drive to splash wouldn’t come out of gear and you both pushed through. Now this episode has brought ,at least Garrett 😆,to the point of “ being motivated “ for more boat projects : by now you’re probably on the hard and in mid re-fit. ( Ruth, you just get cozy in the hammock and enjoy 😎 ). I just wanted to say a huge congratulations as not only have you two built a beautiful vessel but you’ve found yourselves back to your ‘ happy place ‘ ! Thanks for sharing your journey bringing us along with y’all and inspiring some of us to start looking for a sailboat of our own. See you next week for episode 252

[@Mrcaffinebean]

I know exactly how you feel about building. After a long season of work it can feel like you’re just spinning your wheels and taking a break is exactly what’s needed. Kudos to y’all for avoiding the burnout and enjoying your hard work for a while! Now I’m looking forward to seeing the tender come together.

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Im gonna start by building a dinghy. I dont even know how to sail yet, but I can surely learn on it. Then, with the experience doing that, and with the wisdom gleaned from this and many other channels, I can build a larger ship to take myself, my wife, 3 kids and a dog voyaging around the north Atlantic with.

[@hotcoffee5542]

The Big Lebowski FTW!

[@77marioland]

I was looking through the comments to see if someone else caught it.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Here for my second watch and to pump the algorithm up. Have a great week everyone and see you next week.

[@pennymcaninch2293]

Another great video. Thanks from British Columbia, Canada 🎉

[@olumjumi]

Oh fantastic sailing with a spinnaker, ive seen some sailers use a halyard clip for the bowsprit so you pull the pin string and it drops the sail connection at the bow before bringing the sail down.almost better than the sock. Ruth and Garret your both looking fantastic, as good as the days we spent in Avalon with you.

[@johnnyrevel5545]

You two are just the best there ever was. Thank you for sharing.

[@frankmaree54]

Very impressed with your steamship skills regarding sail configuration, please keep up the good work as I am learning so much

[@stephenrobbins9901]

Had to subscribe, the hammock did it 😊😊😊

[@charleswashburn1857]

So great to follow your adventures! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences. Beautiful!

[@DanielLloyd-ve8sy]

After all the years you spent on building her :) no shame in now taking her in after her trial sail to get alil lovin :)) love the vids folks keep em coming owww by the way rockit pop looks great

[@Mrcaffinebean]

That’s some gorgeous water!

[@nigelwalton4769]

Beautiful....Serene......wow...thanks for sharing! (NZ Fan)

[@chemon0]

The real life. I'm glad to have seen one of your old boats and young Swab. Keep showing us. Thank you for these moments of happiness

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

You got the bug again ( must build things ) it never ends so enjoy . Ruthie you kick back and read what when ever and for ever . Thanks for the new episode. Angus

[@simoncaselton9020]

Always feel i'm on holiday with you guys.

[@Kerry_CYWG]

Always look forward to your weekly updates.

[@jimwaddell8163]

Awesome!!! You can not imagine what it's like to sit in awe of your world. I struggle to even find the words💛🙏👌

[@chrispy104k]

The spinnaker purchase has been an excellent investment. With a new coat of paint on it's bum it should perform even better with the spinnaker up.

[@fishandcookaustralia8112]

Just wonderful ❤❤

[@williamstewart1957]

Everything seems to be falling in place. Enjoy and fair winds

[@josephwilliamson1489]

You guys are living the life

[@floathi]

Rock on hammock peeps! Had me laughing. Cheers

[@larryanglada5131]

Awesome episode. Really enjoyed it. I’m a hammock lover too❤

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃😃👍👍👍❤ nice work to both of you!

[@Buck1954]

Ketch rig is very efficient and with its short masts can fit into places many sloops can not, as you know.

[@MichaelWilliams-yq5ih]

Love you two!

[@emsevol2712]

Such a beautiful boat!

[@charlestosi5199]

Glorious videos, pro stuff. Thanks.

[@rayb3117]

Love the locales you end up in. great job

[@bobeardley9300]

so delighted by the generous sharing of your life. I love the way you bring others into a reciprocity of sharing by yours. thank you and may God bless you on your journeys.

[@RoyClare]

Perfect. Thank you for taking us along too ….. 🎉😊

[@webbtrekker534]

When you were talking about your second spinnaker and the reference to the movie "Wind" in saying it was your "Wompper". Loved it. Great sailing movie!

[@peterasacker5948]

Another great video. Good to see that will it work sail working...lol. Great morning shots of a flat calm harbor...you could almost feel the stillness, hmmm can you feel stillness??? Soon you will be busy at work on land making her pretty again and I am sure new additions and projects will be plentiful....stay safe, party smart and looking forward to the next chapter

[@silasmarner7586]

That hull looked purty nice! It will be great after the haul-out. You guys built a great boat, did great sailing, and I'd say the whole endeavor has been a success.

[@glennpace9230]

So chill

[@chrispy104k]

16:35 - Nice clips Ruth. Your videography just gets better all the time.

[@Murie56]

Good to see you guys laughing

[@russellmurphy8111]

Mr Swab has lived a prosperous life and looks amazing!!!

[@whatscoldoing5627]

Try laying at right angles to the hammock. Sit in it, then dig your heels into the edge and stretch out sideways to the hammock. This is how wide hammocks are used to their best😁👍

[@alleycat5472]

Comment, the sail looked great. Sounds like you have settled in. :)

[@quarlow1215]

That's a terrible hammock. Too much stretch. Lol 😂😂

[@Billestlà]

You two look so good and relaxed and happy. One of your nicest videos. Good going! :)

[@charliemcgrain]

TOP SPINNAKER TIP. Not easy to explain but very easy to tack. Take the spinnaker up with you halyard as usual, BUT, each of the bottom corners have both a sheet and a tack line attached. (four lines at the bottom. Two lines at each corner ) The sheet lines work the same as they normally would, lead aft outside of your rigging, same as any sheet. BUT, the other two lines (attached at each bottom corners) are lead through an eye at the bow and then back aft. Pulling on either of these lines will pull that corner of the sail to the eye at the bow, making that corner the new tack. So, you let one out while you pull the other in (while easing you sheet for whatever tack you are on) and the sail changes sides. I did this all the while when single handing. It is also a good way of de-powering the sail to get it down, just pull both tack lines in.

[@danburk3024]

You guys rock!

[@Ramenscooter]

Such a great episode!

[@davidwilliams9043]

I have watched you from the beginning and love every minute. Stay safe and Peace from Arkansas.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

That’s a very nice anchorage,best wishes🙂

[@kandk920]

The view from the hammock is fabulous! That is certainly where I would be!

[@Tammy-un3ql]

Good sailing ❤

[@WJSpies]

Doing nothing has always been a foundational cornerstone of embarking on life-changing work and assorted projects that go with it. Never make excuses for slowing down, stopping, snoring, etc. - simply to assess, figure out which way to go; more importantly know the direction from where you've come, and where the wind is wanting take you. Three cheers for long hefty dreamy napping! Kick back. You guys have more than earned a bit of leisured mundanity. Go for it

[@143tinaed]

Just a wonderful site, you should be proud of yourselfs.

[@jobmanders5328]

You give my soal the rest it craves, love you guys.

[@jonart9160]

That's a nice serving board you got there under all your burger fix'ns.

[@robertgarbe6348]

Just finished a CLC Passagemaker take apart. Fun project.

[@johndewaard8032]

Awsom eposode

[@erichood486]

I love watching Garrett do boat projects

[@nwboater]

You two are on a good path forward...Ruth has her happy place (peace and relaxation :) while Garret rebuilds his energy and enthusiasm for doing what he loves -- making things. Bravo!

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Making "stuff" is the best! I have not reached the saturation point in my build! Of course, my shift work seriously interferes with my boat goals! Ha Go get'm tiger (s)!

[@richb313]

Lovely episode especially mixing in the older video sections with present day once you are on the hard the real work will be upon you again.

[@risasb]

Brother has good taste in boats too.

[@bruceperry6315]

Idealic

[@glennjaggard7065]

Hey Garrett get yourself a long clear hose the size of your skorkle put a float on end to use that to breath under water while cleaning Hull not too long just long enough to help you clean boat try that it's what we did on our fishing boat works well

[@rod8823]

Someone's getting good at editing 😊👍

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Love your yacht I was a fantastic build you guys did a top job it’s looks like a rocket

[@thomasarussellsr]

Cant wait to see the pumpkin wamper catching some air. Also, tell Garrett that hammocks are the worst resting place for bad backs.

[@FreeRadicalslifestyle]

As always... delightful to be invited aboard to experience the fun and payoff from the years of hard work you put into building and dreaming ... thank you for taking the time to document it all and share your contentment from having a dream and seeing it through.

[@jameswest685]

Arms like a sailor.

[@jackgrayson832]

Thanks for taking us along… love y’all…

[@chikken_soup]

19:25 this was very therapeutic

[@Chrysologos]

Absolutely wonderful in all respects. Saw you first in upstate snow, you have come so far. Will we see the mast hoops soon? Love you folks.

[@earlashton1342]

I was thinking Dinghy before you said it. Well you have probably picked the style you want, but have a look at the dinghy S.V. Florence has. It splits in the middle. And it is a sailing dinghy also. Quite a space saver.

[@SailingCailin]

I have a symmetrical for my Cape Dory 27. I can get at least on an apparent reach before it starts luffing. Thing screams! I made a spar, out of drift wood, that I lash to the deck and the rail. Basically, it would bisect a sprit and a cat head of I had one. I use it to pole the kite, the Genoa, or a shade sail (tarp)

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Young, skinny swabb. ❤

[@paxwallace8324]

Yeah!

[@anticorrupcao5631]

What a lovely video! Can't wait for more

[@lancer2204]

"Cause I'm smart! ... OW!" Yess, Garrett, we know. Adit: That was some impressive speed in a wind that only barely disturbed Ruth's hair.

[@johnmooney9444]

Among beautiful human creations, in cooperation with nature, a full spiniker rates high in my book.

[@billstoner5559]

Absolutely beautiful music for the morning silent calm shots, Ruthie. Love it. 👍🏻😊

[@silasmarner7586]

Her music curation is always most excellent. I subscribe to youtube channels that, while the content is excellent, the person puts the most annoying Phillip Phillips style junk on his videos which really ruins it. Leo Sampson at Tally Ho does a great job. Bad Obsession Motorsports does a TERRIBLE job tho I love the content, same with Trent Palmer. It's kinda hit or miss.

[@billstoner5559]

Maya, on “Sailing Magic Carpet” does a wonderful job with their channel. She also plays a violin beautifully. Although they are currently land locked in Washington State working a refit on their new “old” boat, so she isn’t posting any of her musical talents at the moment.

[@gullreefclub]

Wow, I was rather surprised at the amount of bottom growth on Rediviva. I don’t have much experience with sailboats and sailing but I can tell you that even half or a third that much bottom growth on a 42 to 48 foot sport fisher Chesapeake Dead-Rise would cut top speed by a couple of knots but more importantly hurt fuel economy a several of gallons of fuel per hour at cruise and even more so if she was put on the pins. On the boats I have owned and worked on over the years we always spent at least one afternoon a week cleaning the hull. Being vigilant about keeping the hull clean meant that rarely did we ever have to break out the “scrapping irons” (stiff putty knives) and that we could just use stiff scrub brushes and green and red scotchbrite pads. Additionally when cleaning the hull a hookah snorkel system is extremely useful. Me myself and I if sailing in the warm pacific waters that our esteemed video hosts are I would consider doing daily dives and spend an hour or so cleaning a section of hull each day but that is just me. Note this is not intended to be à criticism just my personal opinion and past experiences of how bottom growth effects the performance of motor powered vessels and how on boats I have been on we took care of the issue associated with it.

[@pierrefiore6933]

y'alls should use that dive gear to get your anchor

[@BillChild2njoy]

Great episode and so nice to see Swab too.. He is still with you in the heart of what matters as you are still with him...😊

[@jamesblohm4976]

The early morning super wide angle of the sky reflecting in the water at 16min is so Vincent Van Gogh! Blue/white/shimmering beauty. What camera work, worthy of any museum. just spectacular! So immersive!

[@oikkuoek]

Swab was like the most seasick dog ever.. I'm so happy for him, that he now has a cool house and a kid to look after. But the sinnaker made that thing a rocket ship! Only wondering what the orange kite would do.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Same here. I thought 2 1/2 year old Swab looked a bit under the weather too. I also can't wait to see the orange wamper out catching air.

[@ciberbri59]

Rocket pop is the trifecta eh? Inexpensive effective and beautiful! Sail plans made easy. I hope all of your refits go so well. Looking forward to that dinghy build.

[@jimmierogers935]

Watch you every week. Thanks again

[@GPSJayDog22]

Nice show. Thanks 4 sharing 🙂

[@derekmills5394]

Have you seen the sailing dingy Leo has for Tally Ho? It splits in two and nests for easier storage. Might be worth looking at given you dont have heaps of room to store it.

[@ourv9603]

3Kts? Some years ago SV Delos was sailing south along the African coast when a terrible windstorm came up behind them. As they passed Madagascar, they hit 32kts. !
