This episode, I investigate the part of Tally Ho’s history where she was almost wrecked on a remote Pacific Atoll, in 1968. Amazingly, I have been given photographs of Tally Ho high and dry on the reef, taken from the boat that towed her to safety! Because of the accident, part of the hull was rebuilt, but unfortunately not to the original lines. I assess the change in shape, do a little bit of lofting, and remove a lot of hull planks to give me space to rebuild the boat back into her original shape. Unfortunately, I also discover that the other side of the boat isn’t perfect either.

23. The Wreck and the Rescue - Rebuilding Tally Ho EP23
An idea if I may: Luthiers love purpleheart as a tone wood and pay quite a bit for it to use as guitar necks, etc. When you rebuilt the keel you had quite a bit left over. You might consider selling this as a way to assist in financing her. There's a very famous guitar parts company, Warmoth, in Washington state that uses purpleheart and might pay you for the left overs. Worth a phone call anyway.
Of course, this being 02/22/2021, I'm backtracking. I first discovered the 'Tally Ho' project in the bronze casting stage but have become such a fan that I just had to go back to the beginnings. Leo, you've come a long way from the days when you worked, all alone. Best regards and my deepest thanks for sharing this project with us.
This project and videos have been a great box set for going through COVID.
Amazing to receive actual wreck history and photos out of the blue! Imagining the many voyages of this boat over the last century boggles the mind. This boat has soul. Go, Leo, go!
This is, BY FAR, the most interesting process I've ever watched on UA-cam or any other medium. Your skill in boat building and repair is astonishing. Cheers!!!!
Finding history like that must've been exciting! Fair winds and following seas.
"...of course you wouldn't go from the inside of the frame" I'm sitting here nodding like I know better. I can barely cut a slice of bread. You're and amazing talent.
LOL I was thinking if I tried this I'd be selling bundles of kindling for ever.
😁
I love how the Parrot has claimed the fork lift as his perch :P
He's going to miss that bird when he finishes and goes back to the uk
Pancho is definitely a cool macaw. Maybe he'll get one of his own and call it 'Lefty' .
If in any way possible Pancho should sign on Tally Ho.
Isn't it a Macaw, too, that as intelligent as disenchanted parrot Long John Silver of Flint's original crew brings onto the Hispaniola ...?
I think there might be no better place for a displaced, lone Macaw than a fully crewed sailing ship.
Surely Pancho will stow away when the the comes.
It’s not that - macaws are extremely social birds and feel they are a part of the family - they want to eat when their owners eat and usually bond with just one person in the family. They require a lot of social interaction to be healthy
Leo everybody whos followed your journey thus far is of the same opinion ,your effort enthusiasm and continuing learning curve , is a real pleasure for all of us to follow, and like so many others I look forward to your fine documentation, and progress , great great work 👏
Where’s Andrea. Bring back Andrea. But seriously every episode you impress me with the depth of your knowledge and skill base. Your parents and early instructors must be proud of your amazing achievements, as so should you. Again, I am in awe of your mission.
I have to say my vocabulary has increased substantially with all the boat terms you have taught us. Both the English and the American version. Also, I am SOOOOOOO impressed with the attention to detail you put into your restoration. A true craftsman. Thanks for sharing!
'tumbles home' - one of the very appealing things about your narratives is your use of language when you describe things. Besides having an excellent knowledge of boat building you are so at ease in talking about it. This makes it so much easier to watch the vid and anticipate the next one. If I was younger and closer to you, I'd be helping you.
I started watching you rebuild her a little over a year now. Then l discovered these. What a treat! One thing l noticed is l think you grew into a man doing it. We need more men of your stature in this world. I'm at the end of my run it gives me comfort knowing not all young men are lost in a make believe world and know how to build without a keyboard.
Saving that hummingbird is great Karma.....
They do that all the time in my garage because they can see the feeder at my front porch through the garage window. They fly in through the open overhead door and right into the window and then don't know enough to just turn around.
Your knowledge and work ethic are impressive. Thanks for the video.
This is my opinion to!
Must say your knowledge of wooden boats are impressive keep the vid coming nice work Can't wait to see her floating have a good day
Agreed 😊
There is a type of ruler that is like the chain jig you showed us here that is used by electricians to pattern metal conduit for industrial and commercial installations. It has joints that are closer together and can be rotated in the third axis for more complicated shapes. I can't remember the name of the tool right now, but it was really useful for getting the right shape and not having to go to the installation location every time to test fit.
Your parrot is such a great cinematic touch!
Leo, i do not know why you don't have 5 million subscribers... This channel is my favorite channel by far. There are so many sailing channels and those are great but the ambition you have as a young man is awesome to see!! keep up the videos. I will say that it would be cool if you did some short update videos in between your long episodes. That may help your channel grow. Anyways keep up the good work!
he does say the right amount ! does go overboard like some
I have watched some episodes several times, just to make sure i get everything, i love the episode where he goes to the sawmill.
Leo is provided one of the best yengest boat builder in the world
I've really got to tell you, man, I'm so impressed with your industrious nature, your work ethic, and your can-do attitude. I'm not a boat guy, but I am a woodworker. I was introduced to your channel just last week when someone posted episode 22 on the Old Woodworking Machines forum. I fell in love with what you're doing and how you're going about it. I spent a couple of days watching all your vids and being completely enthralled. Thank you for taking the time to document your journey!
I'm a natural house builder (timber, hemp, lime & clay), and it can often take quite a lot of considering for me to find the words and analogies to explain the design, materials & construction methods to my clients. The danger in this is I can end up fooling myself that I know quite a bit. Watching your description of your work to measure & calculate the shape of the hull, I'm 100% cured of that misconception! House-building - even really well-detailed, thermally & acoustically excellent homes - is like Lego construction compared to the complex sophistication of boat building. Immense respect & awe.
I vote for maintaining the more curvy top sides as per the original drawings. Less by eye, this attribute has already enabled you to see that there was a discrepancy, so now go back to the plans and rectify the issue that was either built in or has happened over time. Great video.
Saturday evening, and there is a new episode from world's best workshop videographer! Wonderful! And again a very good choice of music, on top of all. And where else do you get a fork lift with a parrot?
well said. of all my subscriptions, this one is my favorite. I could watch for hours...
Keep it up Leo. It sounded from your voice during this video that this is a tough point in the project, realizing that there are shape issues on both port & starboard sides that you have to deal with. Best of luck and keep up the awesome work! We're all cheering you on.
I would see photos of this boat in the water and wonder at my eye. From such a celebrated designer and from the admiration this boat invokes from those that know, I was puzzled at what to my albeit uneducated eye, looked clumsy. When I saw the videos of the boat out of the water, I admired the shape very much.
Fix the shape my friend. You will not regret it and the boat deserves it.
I love the Macaw; it truly seems interested in what you are doing!
Yes, I think you're right: If you don't fix that fair issue you'll regret it every time you see it in the future. It will forever bug you. You're a good human for saving that bird; that's Karma in the bank :)
Best of luck! (And you have to love that the Washington Spring/Summer is finally here!
Dude you actually touch a live humming bird AMAZING !
Leo deserves "at least" 1M subs !! Well Done & looking forward to upcoming episodes and inevitable launch day.
Watching these older videos. Unbelievable how far the boat has come since then. Unbelievable.
Haha...Who you kidding Leo...you know you want to put her to the original plans...(this is where the OCD kicks in...HARD )...you are doing s superior job Leo, I am in AWE !
Your work on this project helps me put my own repairs and restorations in proper perspective: literally no problem I tackle on my two sport-fishing boats or Lance camper rises to a fraction of the degree of difficulty of nearly any task you face. Thanks for that, Leo, and Cheers!
Love the history. Being a land lover I'm amazed at all of the different parts and what they are called. always wondered how they made wooden boats and made them float. I would love to hear and learn more about the construction of Tally Ho and learn why things were done a particular way. Thanks for the sharing.
Hi Leo , im a boat builder in Auckland New Zeaaland , Salthouse Boatbuilders .
I really appreciate you Videos and admire the work you are doing , very educational , love the chain gauge am going to have to make one for myself .keep up the good work . John
Leo, I really admire your thinking process in the restoration of this wonderful boat.
You truly care deeply about doing it the right way.
God speed to you.
Just the perpetual hope the boat didn't need to be redrafted. But the knowledge gained about the boat at each step is phenomenal. Just a wizard.
If fixing the shape of the starboard side means more videos, then I'm all for it. Thanks for sharing this journey!
Your experience and professional approach will ensure that Tally Ho will look as good if not better than the day she launched. To visualize fairness and know when something is just not right takes a good eye and to know how to make changes to correct this an experienced hand. Tally Ho is one lucky old girl.
Hi Leo, You are doing a great job...BTW... Copra is actually the dried meat of the coconut, not the husk which is called Coir when dried out, often used as stuffing in old upholstery and even door mats. So great you are getting more info on Tally Ho's life. Would make great picture collages to adorn the bulkheads with.
Love that Parrot, he is a great site supervisor LOL
The parrot is really cool as well. Nice progress you got.
Thanks Leo, glad you're taking the time with the curves. Otherwise it will annoy you everytime you look at her, but be a pleasure to all who view her lines. Its the time and attention to detail that inspired me to help you on patreon. The documenting of your journey is beyond words. Thanks again.
This is my second time watching all of the episodes. Your work is impeccable. As a teenager, my dad and I did repairs and wood work on our 34’ wood hulled Pacemaker, which is a motor boat. Those were some of the happiest days of my life. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I think Pancho is a riot. Such personality, and she REALLY likes you.
At your age you're amazing with the knowledge of shipwright. Your geometry techniques are fantastic, I hated math in school lol. Such a labor intensive project.
Looks like Pancho has everything under control!
Cool pictures from the crash.
Oh! That MUSIC! It grabs the soul, slides it into a wood hulled sloop and takes me to heaven!
The attitude towards perfectionism makes the difference here. Keep up the good work. Nice music.
It can be seen that your work ethic is way beyond the normal shipwrights, so true to the historic lines. If I was not 80 years old with some physical issues I would have to get up to Seattle just to absorb some of that wonderful knowledge you are sharing with us about how wooden ships are really built or re-built.
Leo. You are absolutely right about make the frames to the lines in the drawing.
Can’t watch enough. The best restoration vlog ever. ,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,fair winds sir.
Looking forward in anticipation to EVERY episode.
Thanks for this video. Got my "fix" tonight.
You work so hard . Very inspiring. Good ethic to have.
A gentleman indeed.
One of the things that I hate about doing my own paint and body work is that I am keenly aware of every single flaw in the final paint. Things that no one else will ever notice. You will find a way to make the boat perfect to the world but only you will know the true character of the boat. Great job as always and love the chain template. Can’t tell you how much that would have helped me when making floors and cabinets for our boat back in the day.
I have been watching you rebuild this boat from the very beginning. You've come a very long way. You're very talented young man.
me tooo!!!!!
I started watching at episode 3 :(. It would have been episode 1 if I had found it sooner!!! lol.
I just started with episode 100. Currently binge watching from episode 1 lol
it's a long way out but I can't wait to see her back in the water. never miss a video
Man, what a massive effort. I am more impressed every episode.
Dave Barron Q
I learn something every time i watch one of Leo's videos. I cant wait to see this boat sail
Everything you do leaves me stunned and amazed. So grateful for being able to follow you. Thank you for doing what you're doing, and you will for sure make the right decision, I know... :)
Better to regret something you did, rather than something you didn't do Leo. IMHO giving Tally Ho back her original lines is something that you wouldn't ever regret, its the sweeping lines that gives you the fizz :D.
Leo. You remain my hero... When I first found your project I thought it to be a daunting near impossible task for one bloke but you continue to amaze me with your knowledge ans skills. I will continue to watch till the end and if my circumstances change I will more than gladly help you out. Regards from the Great White North Tundra.
I predict this channel will explode within the next 12 months, it’s fantastic. Up there with clickspring for me now.
Yep i think so too. I guess that once he reaches 100k subs or thereabouts the subcount is going to take off like a rocket.
Will be interesting to watch the progress :)
I hope so too but a lot of channels with very good content seem not to make it in terms of subscriptions. If he would add some beauty and fashion tips it might take of like a rocket. This is the stuff people apparently like.
Well i guess you could say he already is taking off like a rocket. When i subscribed a few months ago he had just 12k subs and now he is closing in on 55k. That is a rate of growth early on that most channels can only dream of.
Hello Leo, I just wanted to say I absolutely love you're videos and look forward to seeing everyone you post. I think ethically changing the shape of the hull is fine, you're putting so much time into the restoration that you don't want to leave something out that might eat at you in the future ; ) Cheers mate.
I'm starting to wonder if she needs to be renamed "Theseus". :) I love your work, your videos, and your explanations of WHY you are doing things. Wonderful, thank you.
Amazing attention to detail. Best boat building channel on UT.
Stellar....simply pure and elegant...nice production...authentic...thanks for raising the intellectual quotient of the Internet!!
Leo, I know I am echoing others but your work rate is fantastic, and your knowledge, well!!!!! Agreed this is the most interesting and best made series vids on your chosen subject.
I have caught up on all your videos, and I must say that I really appreciate the fact that you not only show the work that you're doing on the boat, but also your thought process behind your decisions. Thank you very much for sharing these videos! Before watching these I had absolutely no idea of what went into building a wooden boat, and now I have perhaps the tiniest inkling of how some of it is done.
Great! Another episode! Leo, your skills, effort, energy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail have impressed me throughout this whole series. Please keep up the good work, and thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
Also, kudos for saving the hummingbird!
N1RKW totally agree!
Why would you say that. (And I know for those reading this that I've just walking into a smelly troll din) It's not something you want to rush into. I believe he's trying to preserve the original bones of the boat. He's teetering on a major decision that would almost be like building the boat from the keel up. Or stick to restoring her. And I believe his objective is to restore.
Bilge crawling, bottom feeding troll.
@@thomaselliott573 I think your judgment is up your poop shoot and I wasn't sure you could say poop shoot UA-cam
N1RKW d
Kudos on the soundtrack, the videography, the editing, and inclusion of the avians and canine. Do NOT rush! Having participated in historical restorations of houses that predate your vessel, I ask you to spend the time to let the wood speak to you of how you should proceed. As always, excellent video. Keep 'em coming.
30 degrees Celsius all day. Spent it at the beach. Now home in the garden. Sun is setting. Laying in the hammock with a cup of coffee. A new episode on this channel. I’m a man who enjoys the simple pleasures.
+10 points for using centigrade. -10000 for misusing "laying" - often confused with "lying" - two similar verbs with different usages.
Nicole K bummer ... I’ll make sure to be “telling non-truths” in the hammock from now on
www.grammarly.com/blog/lay-lie/
afraid you are wrong there. the grammar nazis got you good Claus ;)
Bjørn Gunnar Bendiksen I realize that. I admit to have made the mistake. That’s why I said I would be “lying” in the hammock from now on :-)
wow, amazing connection with the man who saved the boat, please post that amazing picture of her on the reef so others can see it in full resolution.
Man pal, your skills are awesome, boat building as well as editing. My wife and I are loving your parrot. Keep up the good work¡
I think you should invite Andrea over to help you think about the curve issue. She could help you a lot.
Interesting to see that the recovery skipper of the Heather George who towed Tally Ho off the reef was Alan McLeod who was a pig farmer from Dunedin New Zealand. Alan with some of his family had traveled to Scotland for a McLeod Clan reunion, he purchased the Heather George in Scotland and sailed it back to NZ.Whether it was during his trip back to NZ when he undertook the task of rescuing Tally Ho or on a later trip. I recall Alan had difficulties with NZ Customs and the Maritime Authority upon his return to Dunedin. Don't remember how the issues were resolved.
Thank you for filling in even more detail on this incredible story.
This project is beyond imagination. Your dedication is amazing
I'm enjoying the series more every episode it's amazing to see your process
Thanks for sharing, the music you choose is brilliant. Keep up the beautiful work
This is truly a labor of your love for meticulous restoration. Wonderful project with skilled execution. I'm learning a lot of applicable technique for other projects I'm doing. Great following you.
You can tell you have a passion for this. This is turned into a work of love wanting to make sure she is a beautiful ship again.
I’m just so impressed with your knowledge and skills at your age, great job keep it up it’s not easy but you can do it.
I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.... I can't wait until the next episode :-D
Great music and video also learning alot about boats thanks for sharing.
I'm a seventy-year-old wood worker myself appreciate to find work you're doing my friend keep up the good work I have a question it seems to me like there is an excessive amount of stringers? that boat must be really built pretty strong by the looks of her
this was explained in a past episode .for piloting the ship into port . the pilot received % of the value of the cargo. so pilot cutters were built to stay out in any weather in hopes of being the first pilot at a newly arrived ship.
Just have to stop in the middle of this video to say that that parrot always cracks me up!
Nice job Leo, this is becoming one of my favorite channels on UA-cam! I really feel like this could be a History Channel show in several seasons after its all done.
You’re not afraid of taking on a mammoth task. Well done and good luck. Respect.
PS I love the parrot
If its worth doing its worth doing right! I have every confidence in your judgment and skills sir!
The shipyard was looking more like a lumberyard then😅. Love it!
Great video Leo, defiantly my favourite youtube channel, love watching a passionate gifted craftsman at work, you should be very proud of yourself in giving this lovely old boat a new life !
Your incredible Boatbuilder. You seem to pull doubleshifts to do all this work. Take care of yourself and keep on ...
One talented fellow we have here.
What a privilege for you to have inherited such history. Plus, hummingbird.
You have some great skills Leo very impressive
Totally agree on the shape of the hull. Early on we noticed it looked somewhat like a Galway Hooker's elegant lines, and then it didn't. Thought we'd lost it. Not only are you a shipwright, sir, you have the eye of an artist and sculptor.
I don't know anything about boats but i admire you commitment
Great episode, love the chain jig, I wish I'd seen it before redoing my frames!
The hardest worker on UA-cam. Great video as always.
Great job again Leo, it's not enough that you have so much work to do but you also find time to film and edit what you do for us to share in the experience. Thanks for your hard work .
That chain jig is brilliant!
great work Leo, great draughtsman skills there - I am glad I am contributing to your project - hope more will - its cheaper than going to the movies!
Thanks Bert!
Leo, unbelievable. Fantastic video. You are a true craftsman. Thank you so much for your efforts to record this. I'll contribute.
thank you for the parrot,humming bird and the dog! and uou and TallyHo!
I’m a grown man (or so I claim) and I actually gasped when you opened your hand and I saw the tiny hummingbird haha. A great video, as always, too.
The bird contributes greatly to the entertainment! :)
