A new build would be much better to do. That boat is ruined besauce of the classed hull.

It was disheartening to see the moisture coming out of the hull when you drilled holes in it. But I enjoyed your beautiful catboat, and was surprised to see such a group of them sailing together.

An amazing build! Thank you so much for sharing.

Pleasing on the eye your boat is sir. What a magnificent hull those lines are delicious

Congratulations on your certificate, I look forward to seeing your skills and knowledge applies to further beautify Akela 🙏

I am looking forward to seeing how you bring Akela back to life. If your master piece is anything to go by, she is going to be beautiful.

I will be following (and liking) from Japan. All the best gary

Thanks for the update - life is life and you're clearly determined :) Enjoy the process and i look forward to seeing more of Akela in the future. Cheers!

Nice to see you back. dont hesitate to present also those cat boats.

It seems to me that there are two possibilities. Remove all the fiberglass and rebuild Akela as it was originally. That was the choice made with Tally-Ho. Eric Tabarly, on a Fife design, Pen Duick 1, chose to laminate the hull to preserve its lines. Then he dismantled the frames and planks, reinstalled the frames inside the fiberglass hull, and rebuilt the interior. The result still today earns admiration for the lines of this legendary boat at classic yacht gatherings. Since Akela's hull is already fiberglassed, it seems to me this is a solution to consider for controlling costs. What is your opinion?

An another three years project... great!!!😊

Like your sailng videos.. and waiting 4 next update.. slow is good.. !

Keep posting. Even if it's only short video updates. We'll see if we can get you more views, subscribers, and maybe some youtube money. The butterfly is beautiful!

Thx for the update. Enjoyed the catboat segment. I bought my first catboat last season and loving it.

Good to see an update. Your butterfly hatch looks great! Drilling holes through the hull and that wretched fiberglass sheathing and seeing the water drain out goes to show what a stupid, short-sighted idea glassing a traditional wooden hull really is. Looking forward to seeing how you go about removing that garbage and to seeing what lies beneath. I will say, on the bright side, the wood is probably so waterlogged that the glass is likely mostly delaminated and should come off fairly easily.

Looking forward to future video.

Zdolny człowiek.Gratulacje wykonania. Piękna łódka.

Wonderful stuff. I applaud your enthusiasm, and yes get rid that awful f/glass. Beautiful boat, will be checking in on progress periodically.

Good Luck , looks like a lot of work .

God be with you brother ❤️🇺🇲

Very pretty lines!

Una preciosidad, me gusta tu trabajo, si tuviera dinero te encargaba uno

Dream boat.

Now that is a ship!

Beautiful

la musica una tortura china

soo nice hull ! all lyck with your restoration..

Gorgeous!!!

As a good boatbuilder, you know that polyester resin never matches with wood, even in small dinghies. Use the much more expensive epoxy, instead.

Desde Uruguay Gracias. Es hermoso. Siempre fue mi sueño desde que leí los viajes del "Firecrest". Cuando tenía la edad adecuada no tenía el tiempo y el dinero necesario. Ahora tengo el dinero y la edad no me lo permite. DISFRUTA DE EL.

So beautiful,waiting for rebirth/

Unheimlich geil! Komme zwar nicht aus der Bootsbau, geschweige denn Segel-Community, aber finde die Videos (auch schon talley ho) so interessant und unterhaltsam… zwar schade das es bis zu den nächsten Videos noch etwas Zeit braucht, aber nimm dir die. Umso mehr freue ich mich auf die nächsten! Und: echt guter Video-Schnitt!

Very nice!

What a wonderful new restoration to follow. She’s beautiful, lovely lines, well done for taking her on.

Das sieht gerade alles zu 100% abgekupfert aus, von Tally Ho. Mal schauen wie es sich entwickelt.....

I don't know why there's so many boat restoration projects popping up lately. Maybe it's because people have been cooped up for too long over the past 4 years and they want to stretch their legs. Maybe it's just because Leo inspired these people with Tally Ho. Maybe it's both, and more. Whatever the reason, it makes me happy. Not only do we get to see great content, but these very old boats get another chance at life.

it appears that you have found a real gem…i think that the fiberglass is going to either be a savior or killer in this case… she has gorgeous lines, and made of beautiful timbers …i hope she turns out to be structurally in tact so you can focus more on her other incredible possibilities… she really is a clean canvas to work with…i see her as a weekender gentleman’s sailing yacht…id keep her simple and pure with modern running rigging , with dyneema standing rigging…easy to sail but not give up the organic feel of a classic wooden yacht…below decks - oil lamps with tasteful low voltage indirect lighting… no complicated systems …ice box, sink, perhaps small infrared 2 burner cooktop…clean !…id go with composting head with shower…as few through hulls as possible… exciting project!…i could jump right in! but, i’ll be watching, and perhaps commenting instead… cheers brother!

I look forward to following your journey in restoring this old boat back to it's former glory, and I appreciate the amount of work it will take, both on the boat and to record all of the work being done. May I suggest limiting some of the background music? I'd rather hear the sound of the work, even if it's the jarring sound of a multitool, than music. It's fine to have music when the playback is sped up, but please use softer music which would be most appropriate for a sailing vessel. Thank you for sharing this with us - liked and subscribed.

Ah yes, another gaff cutter, another tally ho and a guy with a name who is a boatbuilder

Piece of art

Wunderschönes Catboot. Wenn jemand Interesse an einem neuen offenen 15 Fuss Catboot in Deutschland hat: In dem Suchfeld eingeben "Neues Catboot zu verkaufen".

I’d love to watch you fix her up.

In the UK the noun that describes the condition of the fiberglass on your boat is 'blown'. Once bonded, water had got behind the fiber glass & it had then ever so slightly separated from the wood. The UK has a damp climate & it's common to see blown render on the outside of houses, paintwork can also be blown, plaster work can be blown, tiles on a bathroom wall can be blown & likewise Jannik, the fiberglass skin on your boat was blown. Sorry about the English lesson, I can't help myself.

You have taken on quite a project and I will be looking forward to the upcoming videos.

If the next 200 video's do no start with the exact same intro I'm gonna riot

I’m so happy another boat restoration is starting now that Tally Ho is nearing completion. I definitely encourage you to get rid of the F/G covering that beautiful hull. Not only is it a problem with holding water between wood and glass, but it is adding a tremendous amount of additional weight. Get back to the original design build which was all wood. You will feel better for it and have a far better vessel. I shall be watching this work closely. Learn from Leo’s videos and people like me will support your effort’s. Leo has turned his Y tube vids into a well paying business. Not only that, many people have donated equipment as well as money to his endeavours. His vids are very entertaining and informative. there are thousands of “armchair builders“ like me who will help you with this worthwhile project.

Definitely get rid of the fiberglass

Looking forward to this restoration

Of course you're not willing to fiberglass this boat over again. It's originally a wooden boat, and in the title you speak of 'saving' her. I hope you watched a lot of Leo's videos, now having an idea what an excellent channel on the restoration of a boat would look like. 6.6K subscribers is a nice begin for a slow start. I won't subscribe however until the restoration really takes off, so like you say in a little under a year. One hint already: if you have a really uneventful thing, like towing a boat to the other side of a river, just show the essentials: leaving, running aground (I thought you had a rudder installed) and arriving. Nice though the music may be, it doesn't make up for that boring footage of the journey.

Should of bought Tally Ho for $1 instead. You over paid
