Solo ocean racing, and the types of boats people use for them, is a world apart from Arabella and our crew here. We're getting ready for our own big adventure in 2025—climbing huge walls in Baffin Island—and see similar care and consideration applied to the preparations of a Hawaiian sailor we met in Portland, Maine. Hear his story here and take a tour of the boat with Steve and Satchel.
A boat sinks at the dock in a big blow, Robin docks Arabella, we arrive in Rockland, Maine, and we finally get the final three pins we need to complete the pinrails. Thanks Ron!

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.
