Join us for a frosty maritime adventure as we take Arabella out for a winter sail to move south with the south shore of Massachusetts as the destination. In this video, Steve, Robin, and special guest George defy the cold and get some night sailing in while still enjoying the beauty of winter sailing on this handmade wooden boat. Steve also shares the way he layers and gears up for the challenges and joys of sailing in the colder months.
Bundle up as we explore the serene winter landscapes, witness the boat's resilience against the elements, and discover the unique experiences that come with winter cruising. We catch up with a Wicked Tuna boat named Kraken that's leaving Gloucester, Massachusetts at about the same time as us to fish one more day for tuna before they end their fishing season.

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.

Its great seeing you enjoying all those years of hard work. Our quick trip to see Arabella being built was the highlight of my year. It was surreal for sure. Not everyone gets to say they got to see and touch and smell all of that hard work. Akiva is a great ambassador. He guarded the property and also gave us such a sweet greeting. My prayers for your mom and for your safety continue. See you next week.

Steve, when you are running offshore you can run a temp lifeline from the toe rail near the bow back to the shrouds and then back to the cockpit. Should be waist high or so. Will give a some security and something to grab in the case of a misstep. Much better than nothing at all. I've done it on a catamaran I sailed without lifelines. At the shrouds either use a clove hitch with the line itself or using a temp lashing with a short piece of line.

@shaneandshelly 8 ай бұрын

No! If you think weather sucks in your home where you live/////// NO? it is 1000% on the water! Those who have been there know!

@sysfx 8 ай бұрын

From about 17:50 to 19:00 Steve is "fighting" the boat with the rudder to counter the bow's natural tendency to describe circles in the air. A good helmsman learns to minimize rudder usage. Helm pressure always generates drag which reduces boat speed. Instead of fighting the boat's natural movements on the waves, try to keep the rudder more or less fixed while letting the bow "circle" around your desired heading. Ideally, the helmsman is always trying to find the helm position that keeps the boat pointing to the right place IN AVERAGE. In other words, let the boat move in the water, keep the helm as fixed as possible.

@allgonquin 7 ай бұрын

I was noticing that as well. Excessive "weather helm" it appeared to me. The tendency to round up can often be improved by moving the center of effort of the wind forward, i.e. helping push the bow down wind. So more jib, less main may help balance Arabella. So maybe a reef in the main and unfurl the jib or bust out the stays'l if it's not already out. Weather helm is however much better than lee helm!

@sysfx 7 ай бұрын

@@allgonquin the weather helm seems to be consistent with the sea and wind conditions given the design's age, weight and other considerations. We can see Steve bringing the helm a lot to weather and then some to lee again and again as the waves pass. He needs live coaching. Also, Arabela is heavier than she should be. I just hope he doesn't learn from his own mistakes. It's expensive and often painful.

@christophersousa109 7 ай бұрын

@sysfx Having grown up sailing heavy, full keeled, tiller-helmed boats, what you describe is spot-on. Folks new to helming will always over-steer until they get the feel for what the boat wants to do and learn that they shouldn't fight it. I do wonder if having a gaff rig puts an undo amount of weather helm on, as the lower clew will always be trimmed more inboard than you'd ideally want for that point of sail.

I've been watching A2A since around episode 10, at that time I was going through cancer treatment for stage 2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was Steve's channel along with Leo's Tally Ho and Salt & Tar's Rediviva that got me through it. I've been in remission now for going on 4 years and continue to watch each week. I was surprised Christmas day when I opened a present and it was an Acorn to Arabella T-Shirt that my daughter got me. Keep up the great work Steve, nice to see you have added a life partner to your crew. Your weekly video's got me through some tough times. Hoping you had a great holiday and even a better New Year...

DO NOT KICK OFF YOUR BOOTS IF YOU END UP IN COLD WATER SAILING!!!! Your lifejacket has more than enough buoyancy to keep you afloat. Even full of water, your feet will be way warmer keeping the boots on. It is not the recommended thing to do in safety at sea courses. I know someone who ended up in the water kicked off his boots and instantly regretted it.

Dear Anne, Robin, Steve and all others who worked with Arabella, Willeke and I love seeing Arabella in her element while sailing across the ocean because that’s the reason she’s designed for. It strikes us that a relatively small ship like Arabella is still very stable at sea. We think we’ve to wait till next year for the next episode so we like to offer you all including all your relatives a very merry Christmas and a happy new year plus we send you love from the Netherlands

Boots that float (Even slightly buoyant) should be left on in the event of an MOB. Water in the boot is not heavier than water outside the boot... Even if they fill with water they will help keep you harm and afloat.

I've been capsized and rescued twice. I suggest you do two things. 1. Throw yourself overboard while strapped in and see if you can get back in the boat without help (while under way). Not as easy as it sounds. 2. Jump in the water with your pfd on and see if it fits. Most people have the straps too loose (for comfort) and the pfd can't work properly.

Now that's the proper technique with a tiller! Do not disturb the sleeping dog. So reminded me of our Lab Boo, who loved sailing, motoring, or just sleeping on the boat. One of her best spots was up under our overturned dinghy and although she was always clipped in, she loved as we pulled in to a new dock to rush out furiously barking and wagging her tail to scare the crap out of dockhands who had come down to help with the lines. Quite a year for all of you, thanks for sharing it with all of us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

It looks like you have the appropriate gear to say warm this winter. If you haven't already, you should seriously consider investing in gumby (survival/immersion) suits for all on board. If you end up in 40 degree water you have as little as 10 minutes before hypothermia sets in. Wearing a gumby suit will extend that time greatly. Stay safe and have fun. Thanks for the videos!
