Back in Lewiston, Maine, Steve returns to the boathouse to assist with some last-minute work for the launch of schooner Hindu.
There are very few boats along the Eastern Seaboard that have worked in the charter industry for as long as Hindu. The timing of her launch coincides with her 100th year on the water-pretty special!
Josh Rowan, Erin Desmond, and the crew have spent the last 4 years in the boathouse working on Hindu, while also preserving her original spirit.
Josh has been a sailor for quite some time, and fell in love with Hindu in the early 2000s. Years later, Josh and Erin took on the project of fully restoring the schooner to bring her back to the sea. After years of tireless work by the crew, it’s time to bring her back to work.
Schooner Hindu gets a ride down the road to the boatyard, and Steve gets to work in the cockpit. The following day, she sets sail.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the Hindu project!

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat 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 now sailing the boat-sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
