These strange days, you never know where opportunity or amusement may find you. For the Acorn to Arabella duo of Steve and Alix, it was just outside their back door at their Massachusetts home where they found inspiration for the mother of all projects: building a 35-foot wooden sailboat, Arabella. The project would not be easy, but it would be rewarding and the guys would start by harvesting wood from the trees planted on their family property by Steve’s grandfather many decades ago. Arabella is a great example of what a little ingenuity and dogged determination can get you if you’re motivated in your own garage or backyard, which are looking like familiar places to many of us these days. These videos look back at the progress they have made in their 2-years of effort, an amazing testament to the power of a well planned and executed project, even just in your own back yard!
