Nigel Calder Looks For Stray Current - Episode 289 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Troubleshooting marine electrical systems is a lot of trial and error with voltmeters and other gadgets, and for this round of experimentation we've got the guy who wrote the book. Nigel Calder is a cruiser, boat owner, educator, and author who wrote "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual", a book that's been aboard may liveaboard and cruising boat owner's shelves. For wonderfully clear and helpful learning about 12 V marine electrical, marine diesel engines, and other boat systems, visit https://boathowto.com/ and Nigel can help you out, too.

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-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!
