I know, right? I don't know why I needed to hear about Tally Ho and Acorn to Arabella. I've watched A2A for six years, starting around EP 12. I think I started with EP 1 of Tally Ho because of some quirk of the algorithm. I want to thank everybody for the upvotes and comments that push the algorithm to suggest this channel to the fans of the similar boat channels.
Get rid of the fiberglass ! And start over. Good project and better timing! Talley Ho is just coming to the end of her construction journey and you’re just beginning yours. Timing couldn’t be better.
Peal off the fiberglass. strip it, sand it, grind to clean and prep the seams and replace calking. Prime and then start on the decks and interiors. The boat was meant to be a wooden boat. Keep topsides covered until you can close the topsides as fresh water (rain) is the greatest enemy.
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.
I will watch your progress from Australia as I have done with the Tally Ho restoration from day one in the U.S northwest. Fair winds and following seas to you in the future.👍
Percy Mitchell was one of the finest boatbuiders of his era. He and his craftsmen built a phenomenal number of craft including The alfred milne designed Morva and Windstar in which her late majesty the queen sailed on. His son Gary Mitchell also a boat builder and designer is still with us. Percy Mitchell wrote a book called A boar builders story added to by his son Gary. Try and get a copy. Best of good fortune with the project.
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!
Percy Mitchell was a very famous boatbuilder, and a deeply religious man too. His autobiography “ A boatbuilders story”:makes interesting reading. Any Mitchell vessel will create great interest in the UK.
Please call Leo ! He will, I am sure, tell you that you are certifiable - Stop right now !! You will, of course, then ignore him completely and carry on regardless. I shall then be watching every minute of it for the next four years !!!!
I will follow your restoration with great interest. During the 1970's I sailed and helped maintain a 24 foot gaff cutter the 'Ark Royal' designed and built (1932) by Percy Mitchell in Portmellon. We visited the old yard and met Mitchell's son. I have a copy of 'A Boatbuilder's Story' by Percy Mitchell, published in 1968. He certainly built boats of great quality, all the best for your restoration.
One reason the glass didn't bond to the wood is that the old paint was left on the hull. The planking and keel needed to be clean and dry to get adhesion. Epoxy is better than than fiberglass resin for this purpose.
I worked at Camper and Nicholsons in Southampton in the sixties where these yachts were built get rid of the fibre glass and bring her back to her former beauty.
As soon as I saw the lines of this boat, I fell in love. I'll be following your progress Janik. Tally Ho sets a high standard, and I hope you find other craftsmen who can help you build her into another work of art!
Good on you, Janik! best of luck to you as you undertake this restoration. I'll follow and comment if I find something to contribute. Like others, I am a follower of Tally Ho and an admirer of all who shoulder the challenge of restoring a wooden boat! Cheers.
This is a project that deserves attention, definitively. The boat has nice lines and a pedigree. Jannik is a competent enthusiastic young boat builder. Let's subscribe! I want to see how the story goes on... Ciao da Milano!
I've watch with great interest the restoration rebuild process of Tally Ho. This looks like a good project to follow - boat has a lovely name and the wood looks reasonably sound, but until the fibreglass shell has been removed then the full picture of the extent of restoration will be revealed. Hopefully the wooden planking is in good shape throughout. Best of luck with the project.
Hi Janik my wife's great uncle was Percy Mitchell we both grew up in Cornwall we now live in New Zealand always great hear about restorations. He wrote a lovely little book called The Life of a Boat Builder if my memory serves I think I have a copy which I can send you. I would be very interested to come to see the work in progress I'm back in the UK in September therefor a short trip to get to you. All the best. I agree with Johnny get her back to the original if possible.
Hi, of course I already own the book myself. Owning a boat like that, it was a must have. I'm planning a trip to Cornwall too, this September, to do some research. Hopefully i can find some information about the interior, at the moment I have zero Information about how it originally looked. thanks and best regards
She's a classic beauty with sweet lines, it's easy to see why you fell in love with her. Looking forward to following along as you bring her back to life.
I too will watch your progress on this restoration I have also been following Leo and the tally ho since day one I live in Washington state about an hour from Port Townsend where tally ho is being restored and refitted very exciting!!
I started watching Steve’s Acorn to Arabella, then Leo’s Tally Ho, and I am so looking forward following Jannik with his Akela. Good luck. Greetings from Hannover, Germany.
I would like to see it with all the fibreglass removed and the hull timber restored I looks a very nice classic boat But as a non boat person all I see is a giant wallet emptier Good luck with it from the other side of the planet 👍👍🇦🇺
Hi Looks like you have a fantstice project on your hands. I hope we we will get to see more of you. In the mean time good luck with the changes in your life and with your project on Akela, I'll be keeping an eye out for your next video.
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.
I’m so happy to have found your channel, especially at the beginning when you’re taking her home & I don’t have to “catch up “. I may even turn on the notification bell for the first time ever, since you said it would be a bit…….🍀
Looking forward to seeing the restoration of your yacht, you have a great deal of work in front of you and a very interesting story to unfold. I wish you well on your journey, Gary from the UK 👍👍
I’m very happy for you, because this is exactly what I would love to do. You must be having some really good emotions ! Looking forward to seeing your story unfold, thanks for taking the time to document it .
A lovely boat, well worth restoring. I am hoping that the pitch pine planks will have passed the test of time in spite of being fibre glassed over! Good luck and can't wait to see the next episode :)
My brother had two Cornish luggers built by Percy Mitchell the Erin and the Ibis. Very seaworthy boats. He used them as working fishing boats and ran them out of Looe, SE Cornwall.
My father restored a 1938 international Dragon, which admittedly had been left out in the open for many years. All the planks below the waterline had to be replaced plus all new decking etc. He chose to have the hull west system sheathed to get a fair finish. Good luck to you. My father’s Dragon took 5 years. Critically it still had a racing certificate so it races to this day.
Ein wirklich wunderschöner Klassiker, wünsche alles Glück der Welt für die Restaurierung. Ich liebe diese alten Yachten. Habe den Kanal abonniert um zu schauen wie es weitergeht. Zur Beschichtung mit GFK hörte ich mal, es sei das Totenhemd für ein Holzschiff. Denke die Entfernung ist der richtige Weg. Alles erdenklich Gute und LG.
Keep the videos coming. Looks like a great project and worth saving. Couldn't you have just drilled a few holes in the fiberglass to let the water drain and patch the cracks until you made it across to the other side and then tear it all off and either recover it or leave the fiberglass off ??
A brave man! A man I know rebuilt an original Bristol Channel Pilot cutter which was built in Pill, Somerset which was traditionally the home of the Bristol Pilots.. the work which has gone into this boat is unbelievable and the cost is on another level.. but I guess if it’s what you want then I wish you all the best with the rebuild! Somebody needs to be saving classic boats so I guess we are lucky to have people around who are willing to put the effort in. ⚓️🦈⚓️🦈
For many years I have been observing a classic yacht covered with fiberglass. BUT it is coated with epoxy resin, so it has no problems for ten years. Polyester resin does not stick to wood and peels off. And here it is polyester... And the author again glues it on...  For many years I have been observing a classic yacht covered with fiberglass.

Everyone is overlooking the fact that the fiberglass was most likely done out of necessity. Nobody incurs that type of project or expense "just because they feel like it"....most likely heavily damaged
Recording a planked boat is no easy task. Greulling, backbreaking, shoulder killing work. So absolutely no surprise one of her owners decided to fiberglass the hull. Pretty shocking disrespect😊
Certainly better off stripping the fiberglass off the hull. Those Carvel planked boats expand & contract normally...those two methods aren't meant to be used together.
Good luck with this project. There is some thing endearing about designs from the past. I sometimes look at the lines of my Mercedes A180, and then fondly recall the Triumph TR3 that I had in the early seventies. You could not travel anywhere in it without the tool box, but I will never have the same affection for the A Class. I wonder if my grandson will have in 70 years time! I also watched Steve and Alix , and also Leo, from the felling of the first tree, by Steve, to the inspection in the Oregon port by Leo. Both became addictive. I will be 80 years old next month, and I hope that God will grant me the time to witness another whiskey ( Irish naturally) plank.
Beautiful boat, I had a 48’ wooden boat a previous owner sheathed in grp and it also never hit the water. I stripped it all off, you should also, it will be a world of pain if you leave it or patch it up. Do it properly and she will be a great boat. Good luck. Andy UK😊😊
Tally Ho just splashed, and a new renovation project pops up on the Internet. This old lady has beautiful lines ... Good she gets off the unhealthy glasfibre coat. Never can be a friend of wood (saying so living on a 63 yer old wooden gaff rigged 2-master of 37 ft) - Good luck !! :-)
Beautiful Yacht. Looks a very sea worthy line. My father had a Robert Clark yacht in the sixties. Lovely lines also. You will have your work cut out but obviously know what you are doing. The very best of luck with it. My experience with pitch pine is as it gets old the resin in it turns to a glass like substance which is very hard on cutting tools but may well have preserved the planking.
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!
Nice lines! Good luck with it. If you could manage to remove the fiberglass in two pieces you could make a mold to use or sell to offset the cost of restoring the original hull.
Interesting project. I would have just repaired the hole and crack doing more is a waste of money by pumping air between glass and timber might well be able to lift hull clean out of the glass shell then you got yourself a mold . Once tidied up this mold could knock out three maybe four hulls to help sponsor the project.
Sehr cool, jetzt wo Tally Ho bald segelt startet ein neues Projekt auf UA-cam! Wir haben ein etwas kleineres Boot, einen Holzjollenkreuzer auch aus dem Jahr 1938. Also eigentlich ein Schwesterschiff :) Hoffentlich sehen wir uns dann irgendwann mal auf dem Wasser. Viel Glück und immer eine Handbreit!
Fiberglassing over a carvel hull is a bad idea for the very reason you have found. I would remove it totally and then you will at least know what you have got to deal with.
The guy who built my wooden boat literally wrote the book on this ill-advised, blasphemous practice. Thankfully, nobody who owned her ever read that book... I've never understood it. If you want a fiberglass boat, get one. If you want a traditional wooden boat, get one. Or you can get a strip planked boat if you want a little of both, but don't put fiberglass on a carvel hull. I hope they didn't spline the seams on this boat, because if they did, he's gonna have to replank the entire hull or else be stuck with fiberglass sheathing.
@@meofnz2320 Mine was full of rainwater when I got her. I made a reefing hook and pulled the caulking out of the bottom garboard seams, the water drained right out and now she's high and dry
Nothing is forever! It seems there is a good layer of fiberglas around it. I would repair it as good as possible with epoxy and sail with it instead of working a half life on a boat that is too old to safe in the original condition.
@02:58 Applying fiberglass to the hull was a trend several decades ago. However, for many wooden boats it became a shroud. This was often done with polyester. Over time, the adhesion to the wood proved to be insufficient. Moisture provided an excellent environment for wood rot. To properly "pack" the hull, the wood must be dry (
Not necessarily to seal the wood against water or moisture , certainly not saltwater , that is desirable for the wood to absorb some saline but fresh water , rainwater , especially sitting pools of it in contact with wood is the main killer of wooden boats , and terminal behind fibreglass.
Hello Jannik, I look forward to following you on your journey. There is another restoration channel I didn’t see mentioned, it is Sailing Magic Carpet with Maya and Alidino, they are restoring a Cape George Cutter in Canada.
Just when some of my boat restoration channels are nearing their completion, a new hand touches the beacon. Excellent.
I agree. Having just watch Leo splash Tally Ho!, this channel has popped up at just the right time. Looking forward to folloing along.
I know, right? I don't know why I needed to hear about Tally Ho and Acorn to Arabella. I've watched A2A for six years, starting around EP 12. I think I started with EP 1 of Tally Ho because of some quirk of the algorithm.
I want to thank everybody for the upvotes and comments that push the algorithm to suggest this channel to the fans of the similar boat channels.
My thoughts exactly , Acorn, Tally Ho , Yaba and Brupeg all launched , and now for something a little different 😀
For me the same! But big footsteps to fill. No pressure 😊
Great minds think alike. Yaba and Tally Ho are now splashed. Who will fill my addiction? Yea Akela!!!!!!!
Get rid of the fiberglass ! And start over. Good project and better timing! Talley Ho is just coming to the end of her construction journey and you’re just beginning yours. Timing couldn’t be better.
Tally Ho, Yaba, Arabella ... Lets hope Akela prospers soon.
Peal off the fiberglass. strip it, sand it, grind to clean and prep the seams and replace calking. Prime and then start on the decks and interiors. The boat was meant to be a wooden boat. Keep topsides covered until you can close the topsides as fresh water (rain) is the greatest enemy.
I was thinking the same thing and also Arabella 😂 and I'm not even a boat person 😂
You are lucky the sheathing has not stuck to the hull. It will be much easier to throw it all in the bin!

You've gotta watch Sailing Magic Carpet, great restoration.
Beauty lines, I see why you wanted to rescue her 🙏
One positive about the fiberglass is that it helped hold the shape.
Hope enough salt was stored within the wood to make a brine.
I've been watching two other guys build/restore yachts. You build it, I'll watch. Good luck!
Me too

@SteveR-nl8dl -- Looks as if the Tally Ho followers (of which I am one) have found a new project.
Everyone so negative. This is this mans journey so sit back and relax and watch the show. 😊

What a wonderful new restoration to follow. She’s beautiful, lovely lines, well done for taking her on.
I am not into sailing but I just love the style and lines of traditional wooden boats.
One reason the glass didn't bond to the wood is that the old paint was left on the hull. The planking and keel needed to be clean and dry to get adhesion. Epoxy is better than than fiberglass resin for this purpose.

Definitely strip the fibreglass off it’s a dreadfully bad thing for the boat. All the best for your restoration, I will follow your videos. 👍🏻
Good luck with this restoration. You have a beautiful boat to work on. I look forward to following your progress.

Judging by his catboat build, he's a fabulous craftsman in his own right.
Thank you for saving this boat, Jannik. Really looking forward to watching your progress. From UK.
The previous comment is right. Be ruthless. Remove all the fibreglass and never put it back!!
This is a project that deserves attention, definitively. The boat has nice lines and a pedigree. Jannik is a competent enthusiastic young boat builder. Let's subscribe! I want to see how the story goes on... Ciao da Milano!

I would have left the fiberglass on the bow and glassed over the existing glass just for towing purposes
I agree...

Looking forward to following along as you bring her back to life.
we also have a Percy Mitchell yacht, fantastic boat builder . totally agree ripoff all the fiber glass. the boat will be a nightmare if you don't
Kia ora from Aotearoa/ New Zealand... a wonderful project... a few years lie ahead... but Akela is a sleek and worthy... bon chance... alex
I too will watch your progress on this restoration I have also been following Leo and the tally ho since day one I live in Washington state about an hour from Port Townsend where tally ho is being restored and refitted very exciting!!
She has a truly beautiful hull.
I look forward to her journey.
I started watching Steve’s Acorn to Arabella, then Leo’s Tally Ho, and I am so looking forward following Jannik with his Akela. Good luck. Greetings from Hannover, Germany.
She is lovely and graceful - what sweet lines!
Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to the next episode. :-)
Seeing her old classic lines she's definitely worth the effort
You have the heart of a Lion to tackle this project!
Awesome boat. Looking forward to seeing the future episodes
I found you this morning after watching Tally Ho getting ready for launch. Look forward to your restoration.
I would like to see it with all the fibreglass removed and the hull timber restored
I looks a very nice classic boat
But as a non boat person all I see is a giant wallet emptier
Good luck with it from the other side of the planet 👍👍🇦🇺
Hi Looks like you have a fantstice project on your hands. I hope we we will get to see more of you. In the mean time good luck with the changes in your life and with your project on Akela, I'll be keeping an eye out for your next video.

Very beautiful boat and very tough project. Good luck. It will require a lot of time and money
buying the boat was the cheapest part , from now on it will become expensive . Saving this beautiful ship is worth it . we will see
For many years I have been observing a classic yacht covered with fiberglass. BUT it is coated with epoxy resin, so it has no problems for ten years. Polyester resin does not stick to wood and peels off. And here it is polyester... And the author again glues it on...

I think he glued it on just for transportation. The long term fix is to remove the glass I think…

Good looking boat, I hope you can bring her back. Also, please give us some information about your area, it is a beautiful location.
There is a good chance you might get to keep most of this boat. I’m here for the adventure. Good luck.
Good luck, I hope you have much success. It will be a long process.
beautiful lines, I do hope that you decide to fully restore her to a wooden boat again
I feel your pain I am restoring a 1955 19' runabout that is fiberglass over wood and the whole bottom has de laminated.
Good luck
I hope you will restore her to the beautiful wooden boat she is
Certainly better off stripping the fiberglass off the hull. Those Carvel planked boats expand & contract normally...those two methods aren't meant to be used together.

Nice lines! Good luck with it. If you could manage to remove the fiberglass in two pieces you could make a mold to use or sell to offset the cost of restoring the original hull.
Looking forward to this restoration
Interesting project. I would have just repaired the hole and crack doing more is a waste of money by pumping air between glass and timber might well be able to lift hull clean out of the glass shell then you got yourself a mold . Once tidied up this mold could knock out three maybe four hulls to help sponsor the project.
we had the same idea😅
That fibreglass has to come off.. looks like a full time 2 year project. Gonna subscribe and follow your progress. Nice vid.. good luck
Sehr cool, jetzt wo Tally Ho bald segelt startet ein neues Projekt auf UA-cam!
Wir haben ein etwas kleineres Boot, einen Holzjollenkreuzer auch aus dem Jahr 1938. Also eigentlich ein Schwesterschiff :)
Hoffentlich sehen wir uns dann irgendwann mal auf dem Wasser. Viel Glück und immer eine Handbreit!
Fiberglassing over a carvel hull is a bad idea for the very reason you have found. I would remove it totally and then you will at least know what you have got to deal with.
The guy who built my wooden boat literally wrote the book on this ill-advised, blasphemous practice. Thankfully, nobody who owned her ever read that book... I've never understood it. If you want a fiberglass boat, get one. If you want a traditional wooden boat, get one. Or you can get a strip planked boat if you want a little of both, but don't put fiberglass on a carvel hull.
I hope they didn't spline the seams on this boat, because if they did, he's gonna have to replank the entire hull or else be stuck with fiberglass sheathing.
And it’s often rainwater or condensation that gets trapped which causes rot.
@@meofnz2320 Mine was full of rainwater when I got her. I made a reefing hook and pulled the caulking out of the bottom garboard seams, the water drained right out and now she's high and dry
Fibreglassing any wooden boat is a quick way to wreck it. Seen too many fishing vessels in Suffolk that died because of this.
Nothing is forever! It seems there is a good layer of fiberglas around it. I would repair it as good as possible with epoxy and sail with it instead of working a half life on a boat that is too old to safe in the original condition.
Viel Glück!
@02:58 Applying fiberglass to the hull was a trend several decades ago.
However, for many wooden boats it became a shroud.
This was often done with polyester. Over time, the adhesion to the wood proved to be insufficient. Moisture provided an excellent environment for wood rot.
To properly "pack" the hull, the wood must be dry (
Not necessarily to seal the wood against water or moisture , certainly not saltwater , that is desirable for the wood to absorb some saline but fresh water , rainwater , especially sitting pools of it in contact with wood is the main killer of wooden boats , and terminal behind fibreglass.
@@dongraham4760 You are right.
IF you don't wrap it in a GRP death cloth .👴🤷♂
Hello Jannik, I look forward to following you on your journey.
There is another restoration channel I didn’t see mentioned, it is Sailing Magic Carpet with Maya and Alidino, they are restoring a Cape George Cutter in Canada.
