Acorn To Arabella · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

Winter conditions in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, require constant maintenance to keep the 38-ft schooner Arabella from freezing into the harbor ice. The crew uses a bubbler system to maintain open water around the hull, though ice buildup near the stern necessitates manual clearing with saws and shovels to prevent excessive tension on dock lines.1:28 While the boat remains in winter storage, the owner fabricates new sail covers using Sunbrella fabric, basting tape, and internal mesh liners to improve durability and ventilation.11:45 The project involves snapping chalk lines for straight stitching and creating custom fits for the staysail and mizzen booms.15:02 A heavy snowstorm in Granby, Massachusetts, forces an emergency trip home after a storage shed collapses under two feet of snow, damaging tools and equipment used during the boat's construction.20:36 The owner spends two days salvaging machinery and clearing debris while the remaining crew manages harbor ice and snow removal in Newfoundland.23:17
