Frozen In, Deep Powder & an Emergency Flight Home | Winter Sailing in Newfoundland

Winter in Newfoundland keeps us busy. This week aboard Arabella, the harbor ice tightens around the boat and we’re forced to break up 4-inch ice to relieve pressure on the lines. After adjusting the bubbler and freeing the stern, we trade ice spuds for skis and head into deep Canadian powder for Robin’s first “Canadian turns.” Back on board, Steve dives into a major sailmaking project—building new Sunbrella stack packs with mesh ventilation, improved drainage, and cleaner stitching than the originals that made it all the way to the Dry Tortugas and back. Then winter hits hard. A massive snowstorm collapses the shed back in Massachusetts, burying the tools used to build Arabella. Four flights later, Steve is digging through two feet of snow to salvage what he can. From frozen harbors and whiteout skiing to sewing sail covers and emergency storm damage—this is winter boat life in Newfoundland. #WinterSailing #LiveaboardLife #BoatLife #Newfoundland #Skiing #Sailmaking -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv 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. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-t...
