I'm a member of the Nautical Research Guild and we look at numerous ship photos as we research components for our models. In all the ships photos I've viewed I've never seen finer mast and boom hardware, it is absolutely beautiful. The Tally Ho is a very special vessel, may she always take the lead as she dances with the wind.
She was an orphan of a long forgotten time, only to be reborn as a child of 2 great nations with the sophistication that Britain is known for and the strength of the American Purple Heart at her core! She will be one of the most elegant ladies on the seas when Capt Leo salts her for the first time❤
Port Townsend Foundry cast a bronze door knocker for me about 6 years ago from a wax carving I made (an overachievement). They are true masters of metal! After all this time, it's finally going to be installed in the near future! 😊
0:32 Wow, I remember those off-cuts. They were from the keel, from where the two halves were joined. That's so cool, seeing old bits of wood I never thought I'd see again.
Sorry, @@userjarabecko , you are wrong, it's more than common in English to refer to boats and ships as "she" or "her" - and Tally Ho is such a thing of beauty that she fully deserves those pronouns.
As someone who spent a working life in engineering / fabrication, take it from me, the level of craftsmanship in the bronze work is sensational, it matches the rest of the vessel perfectly.
Yeah it's so easily overlooked too ! That kind of workmanship (work person ship?) is rare, it appears to be fairly plain and simple but in reality it doesn't get any more accurate or precise ! There's an art to hiding that level of craftsmanship in simple looking pieces and that's hard to learn !
This channel is a real cultural asset. When I firt started watching I was suprised at all the various donations and support that was given to the Tallt Ho project. I have never sailed and have only spent a little bit of time on any boat but I now begin to understand the allure and beauty of wooden boats and the craftsmanship that creates them. Thank you to the Tally Ho team and all those who hav supported them in this fascinating endeavor!
I feel like when Leo decided to polish the bronze floors as opposed to just clean up the castings, that was a defining point on the level of finish. None of us knew at that stage what this boat would become. Now we see all these details and it finally makes sense why he polished those floors.
Your team does such a great job on the little advertiser skits. You are the only UA-cam channel I don't fast-forward through the advertisements. Love the videos. Thanks for sharing
I always love seeing the purpleheart wood go into the boat. As someone who doesn't do much woodworking other than cutting a few bits of pine now and then, it's color is so alien to me! But kind of like cedar, with how it changes over time and after cuts.
I thought it was nuts how long those cuts with the chainsaw took. Even sped up it took forever. I would guess that an one cut took about 30 minutes. So an hour just to cut these pieces apart. Crazy stuff
purple heart is a very difficult wood to work with. it's very hard. the only carving I ever did with it I had to use coarse rasps, and my grandfathers WW2 kabar knife XD
I make hiking sticks as a hobby with various designs of top. Recently I thought it would be good to make a market stick top out of purple heart. I had never heard of this wood until I started watching Leo and the crew. However, once I started cutting and shaping the wood I was astounded as to how difficult to work so all praise to the crew. I finished off my stick with Danish Oil. While the process was more difficult than I could have envisaged the end result was well worth it and probably foolishly I am just about to start on another. Well done all the crew. There are people who call themselves carpenters and then there is Leo’s crew.
Xyla Foxlin used a small piece of Purple Heart to make a bass, and said the wood was so difficult to work with she'd never touch it again. Love thinking about that every time they start roughing up another big chunk of Purple! This crew ain't afraid of work
In this video especially, I kept recalling how, 170 odd episodes ago, Leo was doing this almost all on his own. I love watching these for the camaraderie of the fun team, and the growth of the team as a team almost as much as the progress you're all making on this, one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
Yes sir, because we really feel a part of it. Sometimes I myself feel silly because of how sentimental it has all become. Almost want to say to myself: "Gee Doug, get a life!" But no, we all feel the same about it, whether or not we can be there to know you personally and touch Tallyho. Funny, because I have my own project that I feel is quite significant on the global stage, where I do sponsorship, development, architecture, construction and science and education. But maybe because I am isolated at the end of the road in the middle of nowhere that it is so cool to see Leo and company pull this amazing project off and actually participate to some small extent, knowing that I am am only a 12-hour drive from a potential port for the vessel in the Caribbean.
That purple heart is some of the most beautiful lumber I have ever seen. I can almost smell it when you guys are working with it. A shame it had to be painted. This project has become very dear to my heart. Wish I had the money to help finish it. Love watching craftsman at work.
You do. Don't anyone be afraid to even donate $20. A bucket can be filled one drop at a time. I'm a poorly paid government employee and I gave! I'll give again too. A small part of you can be in that boat. One day I hope to see her in person. Also realize by watching the video, you already gave to the project!!!!
Like the purple heart as well but I don't think they were painting it for reasons of durability. Rather because of they already have different types of wood and at some point it becomes looking ridiculous
Am I the only one loving the color of aged Purple Heart? Lovely pieces of timber assembled to a great boat! Fantastic project, you inspired so many people to rethink their doing, going back to old techniques, using knowledge of the last centuries. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
it looks like Leo’s finally 2yrs out from setting sail. it’s been an Epic journey…I just wish for the Dutchess to be happy. seeing her confused & upset hurts me, but her nervous gas breaks my heart. fingers crossed
To think this all started with one man and one dollar! Not only have you built an beautiful boat, but you also built a great team, awesome volunteers and loyal followers! Bravo!!
Leo and crew, it is just an absolutely beautiful thing that has been created called Tally Ho. The scarf joint Leo made years ago now reminds me of just how much has been accomplished. These videos are so uplifting, and the work is very amazing. The aerial view of Tally Ho towards the end reinforces all the work that has been done. A floating example of will, skill, and fulfillment of a dream.
Amazing how much has been done by outside help its museum quality outfitted with the best instruments, materials and craftsmanship. I too would love to say "thank you to everyone that's contributed" and then receive a million-dollar boat paid for by patreon. Well done Leo!
I give every single member of the crew a massive, massive cudos for their work, but my gosh the craftsmanship Zeal blesses us with is out of this world! What an asset on this project!
This is incredible. How do you even afford this level of quality in these times. Zeal’s level of work is top dollars. The guy has the experience, skill and knowledge. Full package.unbelievable.
This channel is literally the only one where I watch the inline ads. I mean, I've even gone back and rewatched just the ad part of some episodes. You guys are such excellent dorks.
Beautiful craftsmanship going into this project. It's very rewarding to see that these skills are still there in present generations and being pass on.
Absolutely stunning work. The detail in the castings, the fife rail and the boom, unbelievable, your boat will be a historic living masterpiece that will show in every detail how it should be done , if the oldtimers had the tech you are now using, from the kevlar shrouds to the hybrid engine. I am really looking forward to the day she is free from the land and in full sail .thank you .
An excellent idea to install a boom identical to the original. These rigs are so magnificent that it would have been a pity to cut off even one piece!... Congratulations once again to all the members of this fabulous team!
Lordy Leo you have some wonderful people working both 'with you', and 'for' you. The fittings on the mast, and the beautiful boom are a testament to them, and you, both. So excited to see this project develop. Warmest wishes to all involved.
I’m also a little confused about how the teak rail was mounted. Was it in two pieces split down the middle and both notched into slots in the posts. I was expecting the rail to master the posts, then the bolts to go through all of them , but I guess they needed the posts to stick out above…
Centered to the posts? LOL they need to be centered on the backing oak down below MORE. Where that was is dictated by the support structures underneath. The rail had to be where it is by the distance to the mast. Of course I guess but drilling into the center isn't hard. Although I wanted to see the giant boring bit going through the purple heart as well,@@buckboard43
17:50 I just need to point out the BARREL . The bokeh’d barrel in the bottom back corner of this frame is a perfect example of how carefully and meticulously Leo and the Crew are going to nail this build, exemplary, truly. That probably didn’t have to be there, it was probably thought about, yet it adds such a sensation. Applause, all around.
Why are these videos more professionally made and more engaging than anything in the UK produced by the BBC, ITV or Sky at a small proportion of the cost? You don't have to be into sailing to enjoy them, just admire the incredible craftsmanship, passion, knowledge and dedication!
I love the attention to details. A simple thing like matching rail profiles may not seem that much, yet the eye sees them without conscious thought. It aids a continuity and symmetry of lines. And that boom is a beautiful sight. "Why put in the bigger boom? Why not?" Spoken like a true engineer! 😁 Bigger sail = more 'horsepower'. Always a good thing. Those overhead shots makes you appreciate the deck structure all the more, too. She's a pretty, pretty boat. Can't wait to see her under sail.
Being following since video 2, then watch number 1. This journey has been humous, educational and joyful content. In the future we will miss the progress until I remembered , Leo said the sailing adventures will continue on the channel. So Bravo to all who have shared their talents to the rebirth of Tally Ho.
It is so satisfying to see young guys exhibited such skill as shipwrights and the exquisite craftsmanship they do on Tally Ho. HOWEVER, Leo, there must be mistakes, it cant always fit so perfectly,. My carpentry is not anywhere near the standard of your guys so can we see some bloopers, some mistakes and more important, how your guys put things right. Tally Ho is looking beautify, she is a work of art and I can only imagine the pride you will feel when you first let her loose on a broad reach. amazing , but let's see the bloopers please, so that us mere mortals can have some hope left.
For any other non-sailors scratching their heads at 13:35 perhaps this helps: Boom = Wooden pole for controling the lower edge of the mainsail (not a loud sound) Sheet = Rope line (not a sheet) Horse = Iron bar to hold the aformentioned sheet (not a horse). Gybe buffer = See horse, Tack= lower forward corner of a sail, Clew = Aft lower corner of a sail. Great work as always!
I love the drone shot at 15:30. Teak decks may be common, but I find the contrast between the Alaskan yellow cedar and the teak on deck to be breathtaking. The raw wood will gray with time, but what a sight to behold today.
I must say Leo your forward planing really shows it would of been so simple just to drill some bolts thru the mast partners but know these perfectly straddle the tenons for the fife rail every detail has a use the insight is truely amazing … big shout out to joe im sure he’s had so many sleepless nights also parting together all the systems again this also seems it seamlessly all fits together , the true details many don’t see but some do and understand how many jobs are truely going on all at once although scattered all over the community of port Townsend what a team what a build ..
Who needs Cartier or Faberge? The goose neck fittings are boat jewellery of the finest quality. Functional elegance or elegantly functional. Well done to PT foundry and every one concerned.
There are so many beautiful additions and attachments to the boat which are artworks in themselves. The boat is utterly amazing alongside all the talented sculptors working on her. Well done
I hope your sponsors and potential sponsors see you skits, as they keep me laughing, during your interesting work commentary, which is more than I tolerate for any other sponsored video!
I started watching the Tally ho project, episode 34, like all I went back to the start. I have been hooked since. I live in Ireland and I can't wait to see her do the fastnet. I'll be in sea that day to cheer her and Leo on... Credit to all who works on her, see is the most beautiful sailing boat I ever seen.
Every video we see more and more amazing quality workmanship. Port Townsend foundry have made the most amazing Brackets and fittings that are appearing all over the boat, the mast and rigging looks incredible.
I'm very much enjoying following the progress of this project. I grew up in a small fishing village in Fife, and it's interesting to hear about the Fife rail. I of course know of the Fifie which is a Scottish sailing fishing vessel, but hadn't heard of the Fife rail. Beautiful craftsmanship as always.
Once Tally Ho is done, I wonder if a spin-off channel titled "things you didn't know a forklift could do" could be created. Through-out this journey this channel has taken us on, I'm amazed at all the things a forklift has been able to help with - like getting the boom ready to install.
From the very first episodes I marveled at the attention to detail that was given to even the most basic shipwright projects. The joinery so tight you would think the cells of the wood, would grow together, like a limb from a tree. I couldn’t imagine a more homogeneous creation unless it broke ground from a seed.
She is looking more and more like a classic yacht every day.. Leo, you must be ecstatic with the work that is being done and your ideas and hard work coming together.
What a beautiful piece of work. The people involved in building that spar must be very proud. However the boom cannot overshadow the rest of the work featured today. Everything is first class. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
les différentes ferrures de bronze sont magnifiques , le vit de mulet impressionne et quant à la bôme , je l 'espère dépassant largement le couronnement de l'arrière , histoire de donner ce chic aux gréements anciens de corsaires adaptés à la course , juste assez pour embêter l'équipage lors de la réduction de la toile et des prises de ris ;
My highlight of the week. That and Rick and Morty on Mondays. But anyway I have been following this project from day one. I can't believe how the time has gone.
More fantastic work & that Boom is over the top amazing! Great work Leo & Crew! As a continued supporter of this amazing project, I urge anyone that can make a donation to consider doing so. I know how much Leo really appreciates it. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
Said it before and I will say it again, the joinery skills displayed by this crew is nothing less than astounding. I can only dream to achieve a fraction of their skills. You guys Rock!!
I remember way back at the start of this journey, you were very hesitant about asking for help with paying for the boat, you were going to somehow pay for it all yourself. I am very glad that you changed your mind on that, we would never have seen the amazing work and finish that has good into this build. I think I am looking forward almost as much as you are, to see the first launch. I hope you have a good bottle of bubbly for the job :)
I'm a member of the Nautical Research Guild and we look at numerous ship photos as we research components for our models. In all the ships photos I've viewed I've never seen finer mast and boom hardware, it is absolutely beautiful. The Tally Ho is a very special vessel, may she always take the lead as she dances with the wind.
As she dances in the wind!!!!!! I love your choice of wording as the Tally Ho will soon sail and dance across the seas.
She is incredible. I like how it is modernised too. I think Albert Strange's mind would be blown by the modern nav system.
She was an orphan of a long forgotten time, only to be reborn as a child of 2 great nations with the sophistication that Britain is known for and the strength of the American Purple Heart at her core!
She will be one of the most elegant ladies on the seas when Capt Leo salts her for the first time❤
What do you think of SV Seeker? It has masts made out of utility poles.
Tally Ho... she's resurrected shipshape and Bristol fashion. May she always be blessed with fair winds and following seas.
Zeal is a treasure. The man has shipwright chops to no end. Always a treat to see him featured in an episode.
Yep, Zeal is the real deal.
so many tasks he does have no margin for error, really great to watch him work
AND He’s easy on the eyes!! 😝
Such craftmanship! The other ones aren't bad either, but when I am awestruck at some woodwork on here, Zeal is guilty!
@@DrMJJr Everyone who's ever worked on this project is drop-dead gorgeous. Except that _one_ guy.
The bronze hardware looks stunning and a lovely contrast against the varnished boom
Port Townsend Foundry cast a bronze door knocker for me about 6 years ago from a wax carving I made (an overachievement). They are true masters of metal! After all this time, it's finally going to be installed in the near future! 😊
Totally blown away.
Fully agree
I was just about to say the same thing.
Could we have a full video deep diving this piece of hardware, it seems to have a lot of bits I wouldn’t expect from a ,Oder gooseneck
Does anyone else get nervous when they start cutting holes in the deck?
It's a nail biter! LOL I know how you feel.
No.
I haven't seen them fuck up yet.
Why assume they start now?
Always :D
& The Beautiful Mast 😮
LOL!😂 OMG! I know what you mean! It's all so gorgeous...it's scary to watch more holes being cut!?🙄🤞
0:32 Wow, I remember those off-cuts. They were from the keel, from where the two halves were joined. That's so cool, seeing old bits of wood I never thought I'd see again.
An echo of Sequim days
Amazing doesn't begin to describe the skill, genius, and devotion that has been shown in the work of building the Tally Ho.
Dutchess of Desire worthy of a BAFTA/Oscar
Love the B B Sea
Balderdash!@@jlgibson001
Paddy's ringlets make the show!👍
i'm subscribing, we don't get Dutchess of Desire in Scotland
Agreed, with a special award for costumes and make-up.
So very cool to see the size of her compared to other yachts in the yard. I can’t wait to see her under full sail.
Its a thing so pronouns are IT
Sorry, @@userjarabecko , you are wrong, it's more than common in English to refer to boats and ships as "she" or "her" - and Tally Ho is such a thing of beauty that she fully deserves those pronouns.
@@dannoplane so many creeps
@@userjarabecko u must be trolling lol
Can’t wait but I will be sad when these videos come to an end. I hope they continue as another chapter sharing the voyages.
Man, you guys always give Zeal the scary jobs! lol. He always knocks it out of the park too...
...and he has a carpenter's square in his brain. Watching him rough cut that wood with a chainsaw was impressive.
As someone who spent a working life in engineering / fabrication, take it from me, the level of craftsmanship in the bronze work is sensational, it matches the rest of the vessel perfectly.
Yeah it's so easily overlooked too ! That kind of workmanship (work person ship?) is rare, it appears to be fairly plain and simple but in reality it doesn't get any more accurate or precise ! There's an art to hiding that level of craftsmanship in simple looking pieces and that's hard to learn !
I'd love to see the process of making the templates for the gooseneck hardware.
Yes, you could spend an hour designing it and the next two days simplifying it (including two sleeps)
@@trinitytoo Do you mean the patterns, as these were cast then machined?

likewise, the skits are delightfully ludicrous.
I was thinking exactly that when watching it
LOL
I always love seeing the purpleheart wood go into the boat. As someone who doesn't do much woodworking other than cutting a few bits of pine now and then, it's color is so alien to me! But kind of like cedar, with how it changes over time and after cuts.
Osage Orange does the same and although I appreciate the patina, it still makes me sad to see electric yellow go away.
I thought it was nuts how long those cuts with the chainsaw took. Even sped up it took forever. I would guess that an one cut took about 30 minutes. So an hour just to cut these pieces apart. Crazy stuff

I learned to sail on old wooden Dutch boats, so I'm head over heels in love with Tally Ho - truly a work of art! 👍
She's slowly but steadily turning into an absolute beauty of a boat
It will be a gordeous yacht - far superior shipwright work on Tally Ho compared to other builds I have seen
@@james5796 probably because Leo knows quality and demands that from himself and ask that of the others.
I have watched all your videos from the beginning when I was fighting cancer you where one of my few joys.
Almost 60% of subscribers watched this video within 24 hours of release. That is itself an impressive feat.
we are all waiting...
Yes sir, because we really feel a part of it. Sometimes I myself feel silly because of how sentimental it has all become. Almost want to say to myself: "Gee Doug, get a life!"

Hello Leo and crew. Each visit here seems to go by sooooo quickly now.The grand lady continues to get closer to the salt every day. WONDERFUL !
Am I the only one loving the color of aged Purple Heart? Lovely pieces of timber assembled to a great boat! Fantastic project, you inspired so many people to rethink their doing, going back to old techniques, using knowledge of the last centuries. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
Not as much as when they were drilling holes in the hull. Almost couldn’t watch.
I know I love Purple Heart I am always sad when they paint it but the ship is still spectacular
Aged Purple Heart is actually a muddy brown... so as far as I'm concerned, painting it is just fine.
it looks like Leo’s finally 2yrs out from setting sail. it’s been an Epic journey…I just wish for the Dutchess to be happy. seeing her confused & upset hurts me, but her nervous gas breaks my heart. fingers crossed
The gooseneck is stunning. Jaw droppingly good.
#TEAMZEAL
He has drilled and chiseled more holes in Tally Ho than anyone, I think.
Superb craftsmanship/artwork. Just amazing.
Probably true, with the 13 keel bolt holes, but nic is a close second with all the through-hill fittings
To think this all started with one man and one dollar!
Not only have you built an beautiful boat, but you also built a great team, awesome volunteers and loyal followers! Bravo!!

This is incredible. How do you even afford this level of quality in these times. Zeal’s level of work is top dollars. The guy has the experience, skill and knowledge. Full package.unbelievable.
But sadly he'll never get paid close to what a half-wit financial planner will. It's not a fair world, skill like that is not easy to come by.
This boom is really massive. I can't even imagine how she will look under full sail. Such a beauty.
The gooseneck is a thing of beauty.
Please make a super cut of all the Duchess of Desire scenes and their bloopers. We will watch it all day every day.
The bronze work is epic. Sculptural.
You are the point where you are just crossing milestones after milestones, it is good to see.
Congrats!
"She's a beauty"! How far you've progressed on her restoration, simply amazing!
This channel is literally the only one where I watch the inline ads. I mean, I've even gone back and rewatched just the ad part of some episodes. You guys are such excellent dorks.
Beautiful craftsmanship going into this project. It's very rewarding to see that these skills are still there in present generations and being pass on.
Only 1 pallet was damaged in the making of this part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She is getting closer to feeling the water under her keel.
Absolutely stunning work. The detail in the castings, the fife rail and the boom, unbelievable, your boat will be a historic living masterpiece that will show in every detail how it should be done , if the oldtimers had the tech you are now using, from the kevlar shrouds to the hybrid engine.

That gooseneck is an impressive piece of gear.
16:41 The tennis shoe, the x-fighter, the boat from a bottle, Tal-Leo, and an e-bike. Great choice of neighbors for the Win!!!
An excellent idea to install a boom identical to the original. These rigs are so magnificent that it would have been a pity to cut off even one piece!...
Congratulations once again to all the members of this fabulous team!
I usually skip paid advertisements, but your carefully crafted ads are entertaining and worth a watch....I see a Clio Award in Tally Ho's future.
Me too, but the guys are so funny it's worth watching.
I'm in awe of the skill sets used in the building of that boat. Skill sets I thought were long gone. Amazing.
Zeal has drilled, chisseld and cut far too many holes into this beautiful boat :)
_NO PRESSURE!_
No one cooler or more capable. With the level of extraordinary excellence from all the rest of the crew that is the best praise.
#TEAMZEAL
Break eggs, make omellette!
Lordy Leo you have some wonderful people working both 'with you', and 'for' you. The fittings on the mast, and the beautiful boom are a testament to them, and you, both. So excited to see this project develop. Warmest wishes to all involved.
Love to have your comments on how the long holes for the fife rail post bolts were drilled accurately.
I wondered exactly the same thing! I imagine the process is the same as drilling the holes through the stem. I need to watch that video again.
Yea figured there would have been some footage of that because I'm sure it's not that simple of a task
At 11:46 video shows the top of the posts. The holes are a little off center but very adequate for the application.
I’m also a little confused about how the teak rail was mounted. Was it in two pieces split down the middle and both notched into slots in the posts. I was expecting the rail to master the posts, then the bolts to go through all of them , but I guess they needed the posts to stick out above…
Centered to the posts? LOL they need to be centered on the backing oak down below MORE. Where that was is dictated by the support structures underneath. The rail had to be where it is by the distance to the mast. Of course I guess but drilling into the center isn't hard. Although I wanted to see the giant boring bit going through the purple heart as well,@@buckboard43
With every new project and the amazing birds-eye view, what a beauty Tally Ho is becoming. Leo and crew have so much to be proud of.
I thought I viewed this channel because I was a sailor, but now I’m watching Leo’s channel for the exceedingly well done commercials.
The rare occasion where a fellow bloke isn’t over exaggerating about the size of their boom.
That boom,mask and everyting that is attached are 100% perfect looking.
That boom and associated hardware is bloody gorgeous!
17:50 I just need to point out the BARREL . The bokeh’d barrel in the bottom back corner of this frame is a perfect example of how carefully and meticulously Leo and the Crew are going to nail this build, exemplary, truly. That probably didn’t have to be there, it was probably thought about, yet it adds such a sensation. Applause, all around.
Why are these videos more professionally made and more engaging than anything in the UK produced by the BBC, ITV or Sky at a small proportion of the cost? You don't have to be into sailing to enjoy them, just admire the incredible craftsmanship, passion, knowledge and dedication!
I couldn't agree more.
I love the attention to details.
A simple thing like matching rail profiles may not seem that much, yet the eye sees them without conscious thought.
It aids a continuity and symmetry of lines.
And that boom is a beautiful sight. "Why put in the bigger boom? Why not?"
Spoken like a true engineer! 😁
Bigger sail = more 'horsepower'.
Always a good thing.
Those overhead shots makes you appreciate the deck structure all the more, too.
She's a pretty, pretty boat. Can't wait to see her under sail.
Leo's videos are a fine example of the journey being better than the arrival, I just don't want them to stop. Well done Capt. Leo and crew!
Being following since video 2, then watch number 1. This journey has been humous, educational and joyful content. In the future we will miss the progress until I remembered , Leo said the sailing adventures will continue on the channel. So Bravo to all who have shared their talents to the rebirth of Tally Ho.
It would be nice to see the design and manufacture of the boom bronze hardware...just beautiful work!
The expertise and competence of your crew is testimony to your own quietly inspiring knowledge and competence.
It is so satisfying to see young guys exhibited such skill as shipwrights and the exquisite craftsmanship they do on Tally Ho. HOWEVER, Leo, there must be mistakes, it cant always fit so perfectly,. My carpentry is not anywhere near the standard of your guys so can we see some bloopers, some mistakes and more important, how your guys put things right. Tally Ho is looking beautify, she is a work of art and I can only imagine the pride you will feel when you first let her loose on a broad reach. amazing , but let's see the bloopers please, so that us mere mortals can have some hope left.
For any other non-sailors scratching their heads at 13:35 perhaps this helps:
Boom = Wooden pole for controling the lower edge of the mainsail (not a loud sound)
Sheet = Rope line (not a sheet)
Horse = Iron bar to hold the aformentioned sheet (not a horse).
Gybe buffer = See horse,
Tack= lower forward corner of a sail,
Clew = Aft lower corner of a sail.
Great work as always!
Tally Ho has become a work of art. I am proud of of all of you for her transformation and growing beauty.
I love the drone shot at 15:30. Teak decks may be common, but I find the contrast between the Alaskan yellow cedar and the teak on deck to be breathtaking.
The raw wood will gray with time, but what a sight to behold today.
What a beautiful ship Leo.
That gooseneck is a thing of beauty. Nice work Team Tally Ho!
I must say Leo your forward planing really shows it would of been so simple just to drill some bolts thru the mast partners but know these perfectly straddle the tenons for the fife rail every detail has a use the insight is truely amazing … big shout out to joe im sure he’s had so many sleepless nights also parting together all the systems again this also seems it seamlessly all fits together , the true details many don’t see but some do and understand how many jobs are truely going on all at once although scattered all over the community of port Townsend what a team what a build ..
Who needs Cartier or Faberge? The goose neck fittings are boat jewellery of the finest quality. Functional elegance or elegantly functional. Well done to PT foundry and every one concerned.
There are so many beautiful additions and attachments to the boat which are artworks in themselves. The boat is utterly amazing alongside all the talented sculptors working on her. Well done
13:11 omg. It's so nice when the editor puts in just a little more effort and syncs the beat to the action.. Well done, well done.🎉
I hope your sponsors and potential sponsors see you skits, as they keep me laughing, during your interesting work commentary, which is more than I tolerate for any other sponsored video!
I started watching the Tally ho project, episode 34, like all I went back to the start. I have been hooked since. I live in Ireland and I can't wait to see her do the fastnet. I'll be in sea that day to cheer her and Leo on... Credit to all who works on her, see is the most beautiful sailing boat I ever seen.
Every video we see more and more amazing quality workmanship. Port Townsend foundry have made the most amazing Brackets and fittings that are appearing all over the boat, the mast and rigging looks incredible.
I'm very much enjoying following the progress of this project. I grew up in a small fishing village in Fife, and it's interesting to hear about the Fife rail. I of course know of the Fifie which is a Scottish sailing fishing vessel, but hadn't heard of the Fife rail. Beautiful craftsmanship as always.
Wow ! Love the castings for the boom. Such quality.
Once Tally Ho is done, I wonder if a spin-off channel titled "things you didn't know a forklift could do" could be created. Through-out this journey this channel has taken us on, I'm amazed at all the things a forklift has been able to help with - like getting the boom ready to install.
Business would be booming..
Da gusto ver como avanza el barco, gran trabajo.
It's nice to see how the boat is progressing, great job.
From the very first episodes I marveled at the attention to detail that was given to even the most basic shipwright projects. The joinery so tight you would think the cells of the wood, would grow together, like a limb from a tree. I couldn’t imagine a more homogeneous creation unless it broke ground from a seed.
I agree “why not”. Unbelievable how many little details are needed to finish this boat. Makes you appreciate ever wooden vessel at sea
She is looking more and more like a classic yacht every day.. Leo, you must be ecstatic with the work that is being done and your ideas and hard work coming together.
What a beautiful piece of work. The people involved in building that spar must be very proud. However the boom cannot overshadow the rest of the work featured today. Everything is first class. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
How the hell does this channel, with its quality of workmanship and production, only have 468k subscribers !?!
les différentes ferrures de bronze sont magnifiques , le vit de mulet impressionne et quant à la bôme , je l 'espère dépassant largement le couronnement de l'arrière , histoire de donner ce chic aux gréements anciens de corsaires adaptés à la course , juste assez pour embêter l'équipage lors de la réduction de la toile et des prises de ris ;
I love how the boat is treated by everyone like a piece of fine furniture. Amazing craftmanship.
Am hoping they made you a couple spare gooseneck pins and toggles ... always gives me the willies when I see how tiny these bits of the rig appear!
15:12 Oh boy! There’s a couple of deck sweepers.
My highlight of the week. That and Rick and Morty on Mondays. But anyway I have been following this project from day one. I can't believe how the time has gone.
Crikey thats a beautiful vessel!
Congratulations on hanging the boom
Amazing work by everyone! Beautiful bronze work by Port Townsend Foundry!
I do like these episodes that show the masters at work.
Exceptional drone photography. It helps give us a better sense of Tally Ho's scale and beauty.
More fantastic work & that Boom is over the top amazing! Great work Leo & Crew! As a continued supporter of this amazing project, I urge anyone that can make a donation to consider doing so. I know how much Leo really appreciates it. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
Said it before and I will say it again, the joinery skills displayed by this crew is nothing less than astounding. I can only dream to achieve a fraction of their skills. You guys Rock!!
I've enjoyed every moment of this journey. Always looking forward to the next episode
this boat is f**king masterpiece... few people nowadays work with so much patience and attention to detail.
I'm not sure why you don't sell prints of the the Tally Ho design (like @1:21). As a patron I'd love to purchase it to frame and hang in my office.
@@SonjaBruenzels When logistics are the problem sell them as a PDF/PNG, or give those as an insentive to active supporters of the project.
There is a copyright on the plans (Mystic Seaport archive)
@@SonjaBruenzels Of course not. That's for Leo to decide.
I remember way back at the start of this journey, you were very hesitant about asking for help with paying for the boat, you were going to somehow pay for it all yourself. I am very glad that you changed your mind on that, we would never have seen the amazing work and finish that has good into this build.
I think I am looking forward almost as much as you are, to see the first launch.
I hope you have a good bottle of bubbly for the job :)
