Salt & Tar: Episode 51-From Plank to Soup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- This episode takes you through some typical work days; wake up, coffee, work on the boat, maybe a supply run, work on the boat, try not to forget to eat lunch, then clean up, sleep, dream about working on the boat. This is boat life. It'll be nice when we get to squeeze some sailing in there ;) The starboard planking took 2 days to put up and 2 days to sand then soup. Let's keep our fingers crossed the port side treats us as well.
Thanks for watching everyone!

I’ve had four very nice sailboats in my life, and four very nice nice wives over my 75 happy years. Not one of them would dirty their hands helping to maintain the boat. They were too busy rubbing oil on themselves and lying in the sun. Garret, you’re a lucky man.
If you get into any heavy weather you will have many tons of water on your decks that can't drains fast enough causing a dangerous list. If your lucky your bulwarks will get carried away, saving you from a knock down!
Great pooper!
I've always referred to myself as solar powered as well. Miss you guys, will see you soon.
This one's for Ruth. As I've been watching each video I couldn't help but think "I've seen Ruth somewhere before".
Now I know where. I have a collection of music videos from RUclips, all nicely arranged in alphabetical order. I get to "P" and there she is. Petula Clark. And coincidentally she sings a song called "Sailor", a beautiful tune. But unlike Ruth and Garrett who sail together on their own boat, the singer in "Sailor" is a land lubber woman who appeals to her sailor lover to come home. Like I say it's a beautiful song, sung by a famous singer who reminds me of Ruth.
Have a nice day and thanks for the vids.
Unlike when you were on the hard you are now getting the sun off the water. Stay hydrated. If you're not urinating you're getting dehydrated. That is hard on the body and hard on the mind and leads to mistakes and accidents. A sports drink or two during the day may be needed as the days get longer and hotter. Be safe, be smart, be productive. The boat is looking good too. :)
Way to push through - great progess!
Man I’d have dropped half my tools in the water by now! Way to go guys.
We dropped so many tools, screws, hardware, pagers,etc into the water in our slip we would drag bottom at low tide. And we don't even have tides!
I’ve binged on your videos in the past week, and I’ve not been disappointed yet. What you loving couple have done from start to now has been superb viewing. I can’t wait for the next episode. Thank you so much Garret and Ruth I love the joy and passion you two share with each other and this project.🏴⛵️
That soup really makes the bulwarks stand out and still show the grain of the material. Beautiful work guys. Have a great weekend.
Beer is an excellent lubricant! Go get'm tiger (s)!
I know it probably doesn’t mean much, but I’m proud of you guys! Beautiful work.
The "flush here - concave here" problem can be solved by splicing the two long lengths together with a 7" or 8" slanted cut; the two ends epoxied and clamped together and in perfect alignment on a flat surface. This makes one long piece - from bow to stern - super flexible and bendy piece that easily conforms to your bulwark lines. I was a boat builder for twenty years and that's how we did bulwarks, caps, stringers, etc.
exactly that
Yes! SCARF is the correct term! I don't know why I said splice. I'm pushing 70, guess old age is messing with my mind.
I've toked a whole shit ton of dope while boating...now my mind is playing tricks...wtf...need to swap over to crank I guess
She is a gorgeous boat! Loving the bulwarks!
I have so many reservations on this build the list is endless...
me too............
Me three. They seem like really nice people who I would get along great with but some of this stuff is getting out of hand.
Nuno Santiago, MegaBait56 and Ontic. Guess it's a good thing none of you clowns are going to sail her then huh?
@@donmoore9605 , clowns, lol. been working in a Tampa boatyard 43 yrs. How long have you been rebuilding and building boats ?
@@donmoore9605 It is a very good thing indeed. I have rebuilt two boats from the keel upand both remain as solid (and fast) as the day they were finished. This boat is wrong on many levels and i wouldn't trust it in real conditions.
I am always pleased to see another Salt & Tar episode posted. You guys are a pleasure to watch and follow.
Great video as always, Ruth, you commented on the heat with a smile on her face and I remember you literally crying because of the bitter cold in Washington. Garret, sill very impressed with your skills, eye, and attention to detail! Im so glad you two are back in your element. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
You two should be real proud. You are the real deal. Thanks for the great videos.
She's looking so good. Keep up the pace slow and steady as she goes and you will be sailing her and will have forgotten all those long hours. :) Peace
I think I may have laid the sixth board up at the bow just to see how it would have looked. It sure would give you a bit more of safety height on deck... But I've always been safety minded. My grandfather drilled safety first into our brains as kids. I'm so grateful for it now 60 some years latter after seeing what happened when others didn't use safe thinking...
The boat sure is looking mighty pretty!!!!!! be blessed... BBE..
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks fantastic guys, the "Soup" makes it look great. Look forward to the Port side getting it's planking on. Stay safe and enjoy the journey, there is after all only one that matters, yours together..Peace !!
this guy is slowly getting warmer with the camera ^^
I imagine Emerald Steel years ago with the joys of completing tasks and being so specific about the results. The splash vid was so spectacular!! I can hardly wait to see this ship with wind filled sailes!!! May just patron you sailers? Love these vids!!
Great stuff.👍
Looks beautiful. You guys are doing great.
In some ways we miss boat building. It was a rewarding experience. But after many years, it finally wore us down, and ourselves and our kids were getting older. It was time to stop building and start cruising. Now we live our old boat building days through you guys while we cruise.
Saw the article on wooden boats in Latitude. And then checked out Salt and Tar! (cool name!) It's great to see that you are living your dream! Wishing you all the luck and perseverance in the world! Geni (and Bill) from the Scout!
You guys put so much effort into every video. I wish all RUclipsrs were as dedicated as you. 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾
Cool stuff !!!
Just a suggestion. you could go six boards high in the bow and then cut it down to five and even for when you get to the pilot house. stagger them and do a smooth cut to blend them together.
After all this time you guys still put your heart in your work. She is looking great
It is what it is home built.
How fantastic! She’s looking great. But the cabin looks sooo white now.
I like the definition of "Solar Power". I am trying to get my son to do the same... be awake when it is light and sleep when it is dark. Planking looks real good.
You guys are an inspiration. I have watched the videos from day one, never yet commented but I had to tip my hat to both of you for your work ethic, determination and energy to see this through. Look at what you have created, amazing. I cannot wait to see you both on the open ocean, living the dream. Thank you so much for all of the informative and enjoyable vids...
Deus abençoe este lindo casal
You both should be proud of the work you have done, Been with you from the start, and love seeing the progress!. Happy Memorial Day!
Excellent work! Since traditional bulwark stanchions are the frames of the boat, I’m glad you didn’t go any higher.
That looks great. You both deserved that beer. Thanks for sharing
"Love this addition...Beautiful
you guys capacity for "get er dun" just blows me away!
Fair winds and following seas from an old sailor
I was wondering why you didn't put spaces in between the planks, so water would be able to flow off in rough seas. Now if a big wave goes over the planking & bulwarks it could possible tear them off or at least loosen them I notice you only put a small space on the very bottom for ropes to go under, but it looks like only a thin ropes will be able to fit. That small space is definitely not enough space for water runoff in rough seas. I'm not criticizing I just want you two to have the safest & strongest boat while on your sailing journeys. Peace & love The Bentley.
Was wondering the same thing, why not just the top tail?
Harbor Freight bar clamps! I love those things!
Dan Mooney Dirt cheap and they work. What more can you ask?
She's looking beautiful .
Yes she is attractive, but Garrad definitely looks much improved also after his hair cut
@@davidarthur6564 Lol .Yes he does . If it got any long . was gonna offer $200 bucks to cut it
after reading some of the comments I see I'm not the only one that comes to see Ruth
I admire your fotitude
5 looks great. I might even consider 6, but I am more about safety than looks. If you decide later that 4 would be better you can always remove the top row and soup up the rest!! It's great to see Garrett clowning around. He normally looks like he's got too much on his mind to remember to have fun with life!!
I love this boat. If I were a little younger
WOW! I am so excited watching the progress. Every little step, shows the detail in which you care for your craft. Just be careful with that sun. Looking great!
Got my dose of S & T and I am all good now, thanks R & G
Are you gonna make cutouts for water egress? One big wave and your deck will be a bathtub.
All of it raised off the deck. Water flows under.
Be nice to know the mixing proportions of your soup. Looking really good and it adds to the red hull.
I love the way it looks! I was hoping you wouldn't go any higher and you should be able to look out through the windows from the cabin. Are you planning on installing the windows? That is probably one of the strongest boats I have seen built. Passion and patience = Amazing work!
Just loving the whole story guy's. Sail Safe. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew SV Impavidus xx
You two are specials
Hi At least your dog won’t fall off
I agree she is looking damn good...boat looks ok too
time to get salty
A plug cutter and belt sander will take care of those plugs in short order!!!
A gun'l (gunwhale) cap will complete the bullwarks nicely! Don't forget to "soup" the bottom face of the bulwarks, eh? She's going to have a nice classic look about her when she's finished! You guys will be very happy with her for many years. So satisfying! Fairleads for your overboard lines?
Getting closer...Thanks for sharing...Keep the faith…
Nothing like a ice cold beer or 3 to finish the day
Bulwarks looks great & 5 is just right.
Looking good. Can’t believe I’ve been watching this for over 4 years and it’s still interesting. Keep it up!
Have you seen Charlie's rebuild of Susanna? They are finished now but the videos are well worth watching. ruclips.net/user/chaschiara
And now the term “overboard” makes more sense...
Now just port side and trim and her profile should be complete. Lookin' good!
Phenomenal video as usual guys! You two are amazing!
so stoked for you guys! rediviva looks amazing...you both are doing such an incredible job. i have to laugh at the youthful vigor of you though...hahaha...i'm sure that the very cool, very salty looking bulwark will, over time, 'distort' as wood does, and the edges will not be perfectly fair for very long! but it won't matter, because they will be perfectly built!! the bulwark looks bad ass!!...and even though it is 'tall', it is salty, like the crew that will rely on it, and from my experience, it will be a wonderful 'dodger' of spray, and even sun...i think it's perfect!!
the interior looks great as well, and i can't wait to see it finished! i think you guys made a really good decision with the center engine and cover...i'm looking forward to seeing the eventual configuration that comes from it...
monika and i really can't wait to share a bottle of mezcal with you on her, when you arrive!!!! (by the way, send love to tyler and tiff...i am expecting them THIS season!...and you two, next season!...how is the aries 32 coming??)
all i can say is, stay patient and keep your sense of humor. you are building YOUR OWN boat from scratch...fucking amazing!!!
she's going to be the most incredible boat you have ever sailed, and take you everywhere you ever wanted to go...just hang in there. you are almost to the FUN part...rigging her out!!! by the time you are buying cable and garrett is swaging his terminals, or eyesplicing his wire, you will be on CLOUD 9, and deservedly so!! the margaritas will be just as cold when you arrive!
all the best!!!!
great job with the videos, ruth...i look forward to them each time. love the music and time lapse sequences.
hey, cool pancho garrett! hahahahaha
As a life long sailor my two bits : The Bulwark looks properly proportioned to the boat . With the high bow i can't see a need to go any higher , but i would add a cap as frosting on the cake . I had friends years ago with a seabird yawl fairly similar Red Adiva , they sailed to Hawaii and back with no navigation ( before GPS ) , refrigeration or engine . The drainage issue could be remedied by cutting in some scuppers a mid ship . Thank you for sharing your boatbuild ... smooth sailing
Congrats not easy to do watched you guys from the beginning what a great story
What a lot of work! Well done, guys!
Hi you’re doing a great job on your building I don’t even think I could even do as good a job as you but I do know water and it 8.32 per gallon and wait offense 15 inches high and that much a crossed it’s going to be a lot of pressure if a wave comes over the bow I’m just saying I was wondering why you didn’t leave a gap’s that’s why a lot of people just use rope.
So excited to how it’s going!!!!!!!
1 way to ease the curve on the bulwark strakes might be to put some rags over the flat spots and pour on boiling water. Combined with a bit of bracing and clamping, you should be able to get a fairer curve. True that scarfing to make full length strakes would be a "proper" boatyard solution, but I can see that with just 2 of you working, shorter lengths may well be better. Those dirty great lengths, working over the water, could well be too much to handle. Good work, shipmates, keep on keeping on , bruv and sis.
Looking mighty good!
Guys, love your channel, been watching for ages....A quick question. What happens if a big wave crashes onto the boat, will all the timber planking on the sides trap the water & not let it drain quickly enough off the deck? Could the force of the water push the boat onto its side? Wouldn't it be better to leave spaces between the planks??..Sorry spoken like a true land lover, who has no idea about the ocean.... Just concerned for your safety. Love from Oz
Looking Good.
Great job! It shouldn't be any higher.
Beautiful "stern" view.
Oh no! She cleaned things up! So much for knowing where the tools are! I loose so much time looking for tools after a good cleaning lol. My hammer was right THERE the last time I used it. Now where is it supposed to be again?
She’s looking amazing....Garret, ur hilarious, great work. Love the vids as always!
Fantastic as usual !!!
almost @ the finish line!!
Looking great when we do bulwarks we join them with a ship lap joint the will help eliminate the uneven longitudinal joint we also arris the edges for a nice finish but keep up the good work look forward to your next stage
I love your boat.
you're right. you have a good eye. 5 planks balances the side profile beautifully. 6 planks would make the boat look too chunky and fat... you have perfection... stunning...
LEGENDS
Great episode 👍👍
Glad it’s warming up for you guys! Great video! 👍🏼
Great work
Lookin' guuuuudddd.
looks great guys,, keep at it be worth it in the end,
I love it, You guys Rock.
Hey Guys - I use to use a large patio style umbrella set up , i could move it around as the sun moved . It gave me shade so i could work on the dock without getting cooked .. just thinking about your project keep up the good work ..
As day day warms up, I get out of my short shorts, and into my jeans....Don't think, we don't notice.. : )
It's looking awesome! G'day, from Australia!
I think 1” gap between boards would look more traditional with only 4 boards
Hate to be a nit picker but you should have treated or at least primed those.You can paint them installed but the naked butting joinery edges and bits against the supports will soak up water like a sponge. The water wicks into those areas Since they are in already caulk the seems. I am trying to help here...love you both. I am a painter/carpenter for a living.
Soooooo nice! 👍🏻
You see those Harbor Freight clamps in a lot of DIY videos. I have a few of those.
