THIS episode, I visit local boatbuilder Luke Powell and his team, who are building an enormous Pilot Cutter called Pellew, which is a copy of the Vincent, originally built in 1852. Then I head back to Butler & Co’s yard in Penpol, and explain how I fit a shutter plank into the hull of the new traditionally built Ferry that is being constructed there.

17. Massive New Pilot Cutter Build / Ferry Planks - Rebuilding Tally Ho EP17
"It's a lifestyle. It pays the bills, it buys the beer, and that's all that matters." Said with sawdust on his shirt and a pinup girl behind him.
I may be an American framer, but I know a damn fine carpenter when I see one.
I am a long time watcher of the Tally Ho project. I think these early videos are very enjoyable because they delve into the details of the wood working techniques and tools involved. Thank you!
These wooden boats are alive they have a heart and soul, imparted by the people who labour in love to build them.
Aged 75 now, North Yorkshire bred.....a classic English boy who spent many hours around Portsmouth Dockyard, dreaming of all things sea, burying myself in my blankets in a freezing house with stone walls 18” thick, reading every available seafaring story and adventure and disaster with the aid of a torch. Finally sailed on the Empress of England in a force 7 gale in 1966 to a new life in Canada, still maintaining an interest in wooden boats, from birchbark river and lake native boats as well as the east coast Dories and fast sailing, Nova Scotian sailboats such as the Bluenose, I have never tired of my interest in the sea, despite not being a sailor, I am thrilled to receive your updates, Leo, and would gladly contribute if I could. Moral support I send you tons for your persistence and hard work along with joy and passion for what you are doing.
My grandfather, Harry Rivis, was a busy woodworker and builder, first in the mines of Northumberland, building mineshaft supports, then he sailed for Brazil where he helped build the railroads before settling down in Kirkbymoorside, N. Yorks as a master craftsman, building complete bedroom sets for each of his daughters as well as massive decorated doors for a local country house, church interiors, row houses in which my mother and I lived. Between all of this he would ‘fashion’ (his favorite word) me a cricket bat. It was from him I learned to appreciate wood and timber. He would have loved what you do, as do I.
Good fortune, Leo.

I once lived across Lake Champlain from you in Plattsburgh, NY. Lovely area. I've sailed on the lake in a small (26 foot) single mast day-sailer more than a few times. Loved it there.
Good to hear from you!
Bless you, sir.
Also North Yorkshire bred, now living in Scotland, I really enjoyed reading your story. My grandfather, a naval commander who lived near Harwich (if you ever read We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea, that is where it is set) bought me my first cricket bat and it was like a religious experience for him (and me) - we used up a lot of linseed oil on it, not sure why, but it smelled good. He is one reason I am interested in woodworking.
Hi James! My wife Josette and I also live in Montpelier! We are newbie sailors who enjoy Lake Champlain, and I'm a huge fan of Leo!
What a lovely story of live and love. Bless you.
What a coincidence, I emigrated to Canada in 1966 on the same boat as you. I remember that storm well. I’m proud to say I never missed a breakfast. Best wishes.
I love this. So many traditional skills are lost with time, yet here are the younger generations picking up the skills from the master craftsmen and it gives me hope for the future. You can only learn so much in a classroom, but it doesn’t teach you how to use your hands and get a feel for things.😊👍
So nice to see that Luke has photos of his wife on the wall.
"It's bought the beer...and that's all that matters" Great Philosophy !
I have never sailed but I’ve been doing carpentry my whole life. This entire process has been amazing. These wooden boats are incredible. I look forward to seeing Tally Ho sail home to her birth place.
I live in Brookings, where the Tally Ho sat for so many years. I saw it, under wraps, almost every day. I am so glad that Leo whisked her away, so that she could be back to life. I miss seeing her, but I hope to see her in a completely different light, sometime soon. You go, Leo!
Leo the mad Englishman boat builder has done it. This mad Englishman has accomplished a great feat. You raised a graceful hull from the bones of a rotten boat. Keep going sailor.
@Sampson Boat Co Leo, serious think about making a few Tally Ho replicas. Luke Powell makes a very good point in EP 17 about new traditionally boats being profitable, at least profitable enough to self-sustain a boat yard and workers. Now (2023-06-25) that you've almost finished the Tally Ho rebuild, you've got plans, you've got most of the templates, you've got the building crew, and you've done the marketing, why not make 4 or 5 replicas.
So great to see the Cutter being built by Luke, and hearing his ideas about making wooden boat building sustainable. It is also interesting to see the copper nailing process. Thanks for posting.
Now I know what trees want to be when they grow up !!!!!!
Such a beautiful boat.
Thanks for providing insight into the world of wooden boat building. And please pass along our thanks to those who are kind enough to share their projects with us. Can't wait to see what you dig up in Georgia.
the world is small, I sailed Greyhound once, we took the beer from the UK to France, nice adventure...:)
I am too old to become a ship builder but from watching these videos of the rebuilding of the TALLY HO makes me wish I were. Absolutely fascinating.
Home alone. Dinner ready. New video from this channel. Great!
Love how you cup the planking. I never knew that was done, I just thought it went on flat, LOL. Thanks for sharing your great adventure with us. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
These days it seems everyone refers to it as 'riveting' planks together. As Admiralty (UK Naval Dept) Shipwrights we called it 'clenching'.' We built 'steel' warships as well wooden boats, and here we 'riveted' strakes of plating together with red hot rivets be .... nothing like the clenching operation. Not that it matters a hoot now, but it did as part of my 6 year apprenticeship to become a shipwright (1954 - 1959).
Yes, quite right probably.
'Hot one!" Nothing like red hot bronze drift pin and a hanging anvil with a BFH. Trunnels were part of my apprenticeship as well. (1979 - 1984) Clinch nails were turned around over a washer and rivets had roves. Or pennies....
Im a retired carpenter 37 years Thanks for ur video I enjoy watching seeing the wooden ship being built. I think I would enjoy working on a wooden ship.But I'm wore out and I can't help you. So I'm going to give u thumbs up to help! THANKS!!
You are an amazing ship builder... Love your videos
Loved the section about the shutter plank! Always interesting how these things are done :)
Loved your visit with Luke Powell and footage of his boats. He's an amazing man.
Luke's Pilot Cutters are beautiful. Can't wait to see this one finished
Fascinating process.
Thank you for showing us. What a great boat yard!
Lovely to see some footage of Amelie Rose, I've sailed her a few times in the past couple of year such a stable craft.
Keep up the good work Leo.
Your patience is amazing
That cutter looks like mini a ship of the line. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks for this upclose on Luke and more. Outstanding and very jealous!
Finally! What you are doing is simply amazing! Hope you reach your goal!
Greetings from eastern Washington state. Great video! Your editing style is really developing. Keep up the good work.
What a wonderful mix these videos are. I learned a patterning technique, was inspired by the down-to-earth approach of Luke Powell and enjoyed the perfect pace these films always exhibit. Well done!
Fascinating stuff !!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkmmmmmmmmmmmm kmmvvkknlmmmmmmmnnmkkmmmmvmmmmmmkxxmmmvvmmm
I am always amazed at how much skill and patience goes into every piece of timber, love your work.
Thanks for such a lovely video on the traditional planking construction.
Leo, great video. You're a keen mind with a keel behind. I rarely exit theoretical space in my career and watching creative work take shape in the forming of such beauty is both novel and soothing to my soul. Thanks for all your efforts.
Thanks for sharing. I like the vision of passing the knowledge on. Like what you're doing too. That plank took some persuading.
Great video! Love the message - glad to see the wooden-boat trade continuing on. Keep warm, spring is on the horizon!
love the videos true shipwright full of knowledge love the way you always explain in depth to give your viewers a better understanding keep up the great work 👍🏻 🚣♀️
Luke Powell's building my favorite rig... not surprised, glad to see him again... and pursuing my pleasure... Cheers to Luke... love your philosophy on boat building.
Another fantastic film Leo... Great to get such an insight into the nuances of traditional boat building!
can't wait till next and the totally finished work.
good man leao keep up the good work
I just love the art of boat building thanks
Quite impressive. Thanks for the video.
Watching in New Zealand. Loving the series!
Nice work Leo!
That is an amazing amount of work. My hats off to you.
So very interesting, never knew how a boat was built. Thank you.
Fantastic video Leo, so good to see the traditional skills being passed on, SO important.. take care and thanks. 😁👍🏴
Very interesting episode. Love the winter scenes of the local area. My family is from Cornwall (400+yrs ago) so hope to visit someday. Aloha
Really enjoyed seeing Luke Powell's work building those beautiful Pilot Cutter's.
Very wonderful to see tradition is still alive and well
I enjoy your videos and mainly your boat project. Lots of hard work. Thanks Leo
Started watching this series a few days ago. Amazing work Leo. Your skills, knowledge and determinaton to take on Tally Ho. I wished I had known that ship building was still a thing when choosing my career path, loving both proper ships and carpentry. I wish I could change but now in my 40s feel it's a bit late to change careers. That ship may have sailed sadly.
I can't wait to see the rest of the series and see how Tally Ho progresses. Keep up the great work. You are truely an inspiration to us all.
And I love the workshop and ofcourse Poncho 🙂 hope shes still alive.
Another awesome video. Thanks So much for sharing and for helping inspire another generation of craftsmen.
That was a real eyeopener, Leo. Fantastic to see the craft is being passed on. Luke's work is stunningly beautiful.
crazy amount of work! Now I'm getting some sense what kind of business is building boats. Thanks Leo!
I can’t think of a more satisfying profession. It would be amazing to learn from a guy like him. He obviously has a true love for his craft.
That’s awesome dude you have 500 patrons already at this rate you will be overtaking la vagabond and other sailing videos, very interesting content especially from someone who clearly knows what they are doing.
The beauty of craft at this level is a grand music of its own.
Thanks for sharing a look into wooden boat building. It's completely out of what I do, but I love learning new stuff and it's always inspiring to someone with passion about a project. I can relate to that even if my passion is completely different.
I'm absolutely sure the way you are building your boat is the way it's been done for hundreds of years with the exception of power tools. I love that you are keeping those skills alive.
Hut ab phantastische Arbeit von dem jungen Mann .
Watching this from Philippines. Been watching your vids for a couple of days now. So much interesting to watch.
Great 👍 can’t wait to see Tally Ho
Great content. Thank you for making it.
As a wielder, I love how you bend the wood. My brother can work with wood I can not.
Amazing how much of the boat building work is done with just one person. I lifestyle that will keep you fit!
Wonderful!
Another excellent video, you are an inspirational person to anyone thinking of becoming a boat builder, well done Leo
Takes me back to the early 1970s in Penarth Dock, lying on my back holding the dolly while my friend upset the copper nail, cold miserable work ,but great satisfaction when work was done . Keep up the great work
true craftsmanship at its finest
Great video. Next week, welcome back to the states - from those of us in the PNW..
Absolutely incredible!
Thankyou for such a detailed description of how the bits are formed, shaped and fitted to finally be a boat. I've done the copper rivet thing with friend on small boat, same thing, different boat yard I suspect.
Nice work. Enjoy watching your build process.
Nice job as always! Your filmmaking skills are right up there with your boatbuilding skills! Can’t wait for the next one!
I'd love to see this project making massive amounts on patreon. One of the few boat channels where you can watch an expert at work on a beautiful project.
I cant imagine my years of work being chipped up into a road surface. What a great guy, Leo , the best issue ever.
very good show mate more vids please
Excellent video. I was in plymouth when we had all that horrid weather..
Great stuff
Leo, he really hits on it at 7min, I ran into this series randomly and Its fascinating. But I had no idea it was there.
I saw your video shared on Facebook today.......and I've spent the rest of the day watching all 17!! hahaha. I think you are either incredibly brave or incredibly mad to take on Tally Ho! I look at the extent of the work needing doing and it gives me the shivers! Well done for taking her on! As soon as I can afford it, I'll be helping via Patreon. Best of luck Leo.....looking forward to the next video.
Love these wooden boats...so elegant and traditional....
again your the best , good work from this Aussie.
Really enjoy your English countryside, really quite lovely and your scenic coast line
Love the plank/stairs (probably called a pinglebuttlenub or something..) up to the deck of the boat, just a large plank of oak with cross bits. Love it.
I think I'm in love.
25 years ago, I worked in a boat building firm, on the west coast of Canada, weekends, evenings and summers, while in High School.
moved to the Prairies for College and stayed. Always had the dream of moving back and building my own boat.
Great work Leo! That snow was crazy! We got hit pretty hard here in south Devon which is rare for snow! Keep up the good work and enjoy your flight!
I was just remarking to my wife early this morning how I terribly miss seeing videos from you. And then here it is! You're absolutely amazing and I love watching this series.
Thankyou for your video's i truly enjoy them im a carpenter by trade this is very interesting to me im glad to see that your rebuilding the Tally Ho.
really nice to see parts of Cornwall in your videos! I have just started a city and guilds lvl2 in boat building course at Falmouth marine school. your videos really help understand everything just that little bit more
A neat way of spilling with the battens and pattern ply, always learning new tricks. The last boat I built was in 2000 and the guys in the yard were using patten ply and hot glue to make templates, I adopted that idea pretty damn quick !
I usually watch 3-4 times each episode, while waiting for another one this I think I will watch 14 times.
awesome content, awesome youtuber! keep up the astonishing work
You've come such a long way. We remember when you were just a lad playing in the tub with your boat. Amazing!
