**TIPS: The funds collected through tips do indeed go to us here at A2A! Thank you!**

With artwork by Eli Gafvelin, a ship's carpenter and maritime illustrator from Sweden, this shirt celebrates our collaboration with artist and boatbuilder Bob Emser, who is using materials salvaged from the Atkin Eric cutter Victoria in a strip-built tender (also called a dinghy, rowboat, or skiff) and making wonderful videos about the process on his channel, The Art of Boatbuilding.

Victoria has given us many useful and beautiful things, and though she's been long-decommissioned, she will live on in this small boat we're naming after her, and in Arabella's interior.

Your purchase will support our quick-step toward launch in 2023, which will only be possible with adequate funding as we need materials and equipment when the need arises, and as we hire on occasional extra help when called for. They say you can only have two things of these three in a project: fast, cheap, and done well. Thanks for helping us get Arabella to the water fast and well done!
