We are building a 38’ sailboat from stump to ship, once complete she will take us around the world. We hope to inspire and educate as many people as possible along the way. Join us on our journey and let us show you that with a bit of dedication, good company and some old school smarts even the wildest of dreams can be made to come true!

Noticeable difference in Photography style. Nice one Ben.
I find it kinda funny that this path clearly has some legal protections because all those farmers came up with all those different paths and gates and signs to accommodate you. But the actual government just has a 7-8 lane highway with 0 consideration for the path or its’s occupants lives.
Am I correct in assuming that you're running the main gaff a tad slack? I'm wondering why the main has a very loose section running from the mast/gaff connection down to the boom. Happy sailing. She's quite a beauty.
I kinda know what you are going threw with your mom because we lost my mom Jan. 4, 2024 she had lung cancer and we didn't catch it in time she did quite a few treatments but the cancer had got to her liver and she put up a good fight but the cancer won in the end... I just wanted you to know your not alone I know what your going threw
What a shame that happened, the engine problem I mean. I put a brand new Nanni diesel in the 9.5 metere yacht I built and it didn't use any oil at all, as I expected. Maybe the engine shut down because of another fault? Good luck in finding the reason and I hope ii is easy to resolve. Cheers Ian
I was worried the line in the water, when you left the dock, had wrapped the prop & stalled the engine. Skipper would always shout when getting underway, "No lines in the water".
Wow, a nautical emergency. Those can be scary. You guys did well.
lol... the super annoying low oil pressure alarm......
Hope she just shut herself down but as for having to be aided, don't feel bad. It happens to the best of us. My dad was a seasoned boater having spent his life on the water. He always had a boat and also worked on the tugs and fish boats in jis younger days. But even he in a moment of inattentiveness found himself in situations. One time he went to set his crab trap out after having set his prawn trap before that. He looked at the sounder and saw 30' of water. Perfect. Except he hadn't switched from fathoms to feet. Somewhere there's a crab trap at 300'. Another time he was having some engine issues. He pulled into a bay to drop the anchor and work on the engine. It was at dark and he was upset so he failed to check things out properly. He woke in the early hours of the morning when he fell out of bed. Looking out he found himself laying on side in a nice sandy spot waiting for the next tide to refloat them.
what if the dog has to use the bathroom
I'm sure that I'm missing something here and I'm not trying to be critical, but why was a new engine short on oil to the point of shutdown?
Poor Akiva, lookin' for love in all the wrong places.
Wait.... the earth is round?
Remember if you put your mooring lin on top of your pins a wave can jump it of if you want to put a eye splice over your Sampson post one side at a time always have a mooring line underneath your pins that way it can't hop off
Oh for sure. This was just getting attached. I put the camera down and helped steve get the mooring shackle on there too.
Steve, may I strongly suggest that you move your new engine start switch to a weather-protected location. Where it sits now is only a matter of time before the salt water intrudes sufficiently to either keep you from starting the engine, or even worse, energizing the starter when you least expect it. I have personally witnessed both cases. We are keeping our fingers crossed that your engine is not harmed. If it is set up to stop the engine due to overheated coolant or low oil pressure, disable these circuits. A loud alarm is all you really need to protect your engine. You have just learned the hard way what a sudden engine stoppage can do to you. You were lucky this time. Accept this advice from a world circumnavigator 1997-2012. SY Cormorant Corbin 39.
Soooo... where did the oil go...?
19:30 looking down at Clarenville, Newfoundland
Nice! You just dealt with what presented and learned from it!!! I love sailing and having done it with a Husky know what you’re dealing with and your humility is humbling! Bravo great start to the season!
The fact that Steve was mentally prepared to drop the anchor at the first sign of trouble tells me that nothing too terrible is likely to happen to this boat. Readiness to anchor has got to be the most often-overlooked yet safety critical decision you can make. So many boats are lost because the captain tries to fix a control/power failure near shore instead of immediately dropping the hook.
Glad to see you guys out in the wild again. I just found this video about wooden sailboat building in Indonesia. Maybe you'll find yourself there in your travels. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJN9ldmGo8_XfJs.htmlsi=_Org5oJPyiF-Pt3t
Life is the worst teacher. It always gives you the final exam before the lesson starts.
great camera work.
No, I've NEVER been towed in before. Said no honest boat owner ever. Yes, I've seen the tow boat towed in before as well. It happens to us all. Hopefully we learn from it and our equipment is okay. Glad y'all were safe. 💯🙏🏻Arabella sure is beautiful.
Robin - Just a hint L-E-F-T has four letters and so does P-O-R-T...makes it easy to remember,,,,
Lovely to see the face of the man who has for years created the peaceful, joyful, melancholy (like life) tone and feel of these wonderful videos. Glad you didn't leave it on the cutting room floor, Ben.
Only a sailor would forget to check the engine oil........ shssssssh.
It's a diesel engine.. so, it sounds like it wants to start.. So my guess is either a clogged fuel line/filter, or a fuel pump (if it has one).
Αγόρι μου!!!
For a moment there I feared the worst, luckily it turned out fine, happy sailing, all problems can be overcome.
Interesting that Harwich Port is named after Harwich in Essex, England.... where it's pronounced Harrich rather that Harwitch
Are you going to do any more boat stuff such as the dodger or are we just watching you holiday and live a normal life such as we live but not on video?
Beautiful videography!
You opted to BUILD A FRICKIN' BOAT and go learn sailing afterward, which is epic. This is the learning part, which you will conquer splendidly (and which hopefully lasts a lifetime).
Well... you know the anchor will do its job in a pinch. Secondary objective complete.
its job
You feared to run aground and Tally Ho did it 😄😄
Fantastic. Glad you enjoyed our beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.
This was a beautiful video. Well done.
I guessed low on fuel. But then thought “what are the odds they forgot to fill up?”. Apparently the same as forgetting to check the engine oil.
"A ship or boat in port is safe....but that's not what ships and boats are for!" DD
Next time we learn why the engine lost oil? Seems like there is a problem to solve.
Pausing at 6:38 guessing the VO foreshadows a fouled prop. Now to see what’ll happen.
…nope.
The nice guy who made that Mainsail must be gritting his teeth!
I was surprised how much weathering some of the wood has already taken on. Overall she’s holding up well.
Sorry about the mishap with the engine. I hope you get it sorted without too much hassle and cost. Love following your build and progress so far.
I'd like to say at least you didn't run into a bridge! I also remember this saying which might not fit the situation but...."Don't you feel silly? Don't you feel small? Never mind, doesn't matter. Happens to us all." I guess the more modern is Stuff Happens.
I can't believe it's been almost 1 year since you were here in Mattapoisett launching Arabella !!! Now THAT was a fun Saturday...I had such a blast in the T-shirt tent. The christening and launch was the culmination of so many years of work on land. It was undoubtedly a "dream come true" for Steve & Robin--HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!
So what happened to the engine?
Great video
@ 6:01 That's not an annoying beeping sound! That's Kiva! He's a husky! That's what they do! But seriously. Thanks for the videos, as always.
In the old days you had to sail over the anchor. Practice.
We tried. But the current plus the wind direction made it difficult to impossible to sail over it.
