EPISODE 165
In this episode Zeal finishes the main rudder, hot-riveting the pintles in place and mounting the trim-tab on bronze gudgeons. We also prepare for our “open house” event, which involves mounting the skylight hatch on deck and showing off the bronze winches.

(EP165)
Gotta admit. I shed a tiny tear whenever you paint all that amazing wood.
Maybe..I get it...but seeing a wooden boat covered in slime and barnacles is even sadder! DD
Haha, as a woodworker myself, I have the same. Fascinating though, that it's function over form.
I know exactly how u feel mate 👍 I know why, but why ? 😂 ✌️🇬🇧
I was just thinking something similar.
I appreciate You for mentioning that Scarecrow...
Similar feelings my side.
Maybe because I have become comfortably numb (in a Pink Floyd way), I can keep the "tear" away.
But only just.
😁🥴
I found myself flooded with emotions as I watched the men, women and children who so love this adventure that they came to the open house. You've done an amazing thing with this channel Leo and it has definitely touched a great many people. I can imagine you have fans who will happily follow you around the world when this stunning sailboat is ready for launch. Thanks for all you do. I'm honored to be a patron and make a modest contribution to the effort.
You are not the only one. Thanks for expressing many people’s feelings so lucidly.
It brings a tear to my eye to see the amazing beauty of this labor of love and to see the people lined up to get a glimpse of the majesty of this momentous undertaking. Your videos are awe inspiring as are your crew who are simply the best in the world at what they do.
Amazing channel, very enjoyable and good editing
Well said!!!
TallyHo Volunteer Navy
deploying soon!
It obvious Zeal started working with his hands just after he exited the womb.
EVen before that, He did an entire remodeling of his mother'S womb when he was at 30 weeks.
Birthed himself so I hear.
@@pbysomeChuck Norris gave a Zeal a surrender flag I hear.
That skylight is another jewel on this amazing project!
Zeal has nerves of steel to drill that kind of hole in the rudder after all that work! Tally Ho is looking amazing, she'll be a head turner in every port she visits.
So happy Rahul and Darlene were there
Great to see Pancho again. Really impressive work.
I wonder if he recognized the boat.
Love to see Zeal killing it, thanks to the whole team
That guy is like a wood working demi-god
I bet Zeal can dance the Argentine tango as well...
Zeal is an absolute tank, it's such a privilege to watch a skilled tradesman at work.
You sound like a bit of a... zealot.
How does Zeal get past the TSA carrying those guns?
Tally-Ho is a work of art! If she sails half as well as she look, she will be a true packet to heaven.
His parents must have had a premonition of his future approach to hammering when they named Zeal. Such enthusiasm and confidence when hammering so close to such painstaking and beautiful work fractions of a inch away. It’s both inspiring and nerve racking to watch such coordinated skill.
The footage of the open house of Tally Ho gave me goose bumps. Zeal killing it with every project you entrust in him.
I wonder if a wooden sailing boat will ever again be built to the level of quality you and team have done. To say Tally Ho is an exquisite bespoke piece of art is a world-class understatement.
That’s a great comment and even considering the multi-millions spent on some builds, the level of workmanship on Tally Ho is unprecedented.
I bet it is unprecedented
There’s plenty of great work going on at boatyards all over, you just don’t see it on UA-cam. Plenty of talented people building dreams everyday.
I watched your show from the beginning and I have to say you and your crew are true Craftsman congratulations Leo
Well said
I agree well said
Leo is clearly doing well because the robo scripted and robo voiced junk is trying to sell the “real whatevers” about the project.
Absolutely!
Babe wake up! Sampson Boat Co just dropped a new video
I'm awake, stop shouting and don't call me Babe!
I watch UA-cam rather than TV & movies, and I follow many channels. This is the only channel I never tire of.
The knowledge, craftsmanship and personalities make for an eclectic mix! The video production is top notch, and the boat is simply phenomenal.
Hats off to the entire crew - new and old, and thank you Leo for taking on such a huge project, explaining the works and the reasoning behind it, and for sharing the whole story with us. It has been, and continues to be, an education and a pleasure 🫡
Leo, congratulations on the success of your open house! You and your crew deserve all the praise. You have gone from an introverted solo sailor to a genuine "woodworking cult hero!!!" DD
Hearing Darlene, Raoul and Pancho was there was the best and most heartwarming part. I miss Pancho, but remembering Raoul’s health challenges and that they still had the strenght and caring to give so much support to Leo and the project (not to mention a roof over their heads) makes me very happy to hear they are still around and part of it.
Leo sure had the most gracious support from Darlene, Raul and Pancho in the beginning. Don’t think the project would had started so well without their help. Moving to Port Townsend was the right move to be closer to the water, heavy equipment, supplies, subs and talent. This is my favorite UA-cam channel. I love a good documentary.
The overwhelming success of your open shop is the proof that worldwide hundreds of thousands are following Tally Ho in the making. And what a yacht she will be! With all her “jewellery” not even installed she already looks like a bride in the morning.
So well said!
Cheers from Tasmania. 😊
@@kimhenry5658 If it weren’t that far Tasmania is a place I would like to go to.
A hundred and sixty-five episodes watched and to be honest I could sit and watch another hundred and sixty-five! Thank you for a wonderful series.
Well done Leo, To see the Young Girl telling you that she watches every Episode of your restoration VLOGS really shows how much this mission has touched many lives. I look forward to when the Tally Ho will sail again.
It's astonishing! I still vividly remember the first episodes so many years ago. What a wild ride it's been and it isn't even over!
Zelle is a craftsman extraordinaire!
Great to see Poncho hasn't lost her appetite for wood chips.
Poncho.
I’ll take a moment to say thank you for the opportunity to come aboard Tally Ho and to see the process and setting of the project. I could see it was an intense moment for the crew, so I tried to keep my eyes open my mouth shut. I can’t thank you enough. It was incredibly moving. I’ve watched all the videos, some several times each. I was stunned at the good-natured banter from the crew, the production and setting of the boat were gorgeous. My friends and I were talking for hours about the “Easter eggs“ that were stashed along the path through the tour. It’s something I will remember for a long long time. Thank you so much.
That little girl saying "My Name is Leo, I am a boat builder and a sailor" made me smile. Great video and that boat is frikking gorgeous!
Thanks to these videos I finally bought a boat and started sailing. Today was the first day out on the water for my kids and I.
Yeah same with me!
Loved the extended bits of Zeal explaining, dude just oozes calmness.
What an absolute treat it was for my wife and I to meet you last week at your open house. As always, looking forward to watching your progress! Thank you for sharing your fantastic journey !
When Leo builds a boat, he doesn't just build a boat. Wow, that boat is a sight to behold. So much love, care and attention to detail. She is the poster child of perfection.
Tally Ho and team has built a community
I sense that Tally Ho's story won't end when she is set afloat. I hope to see videos of her travels as well.
Just so privileged to see Zeal doing his things. The man is a very special talent among masters of the crafts working on Tally ho!
Zele (Zeele) you are the man! You handle such hard mathmatics and craftsmanship it is awe inspiring.
Zeal
@@TitoRigatoni
Having to rely on the not-so-reliable closed captioning, I’ve been wondering what the correct name spelling is.
@@Slithey7433 yeah same, I just noticed that he mentioned Zeal by name in the video description ;-)
I drove up from AZ (~1650 miles) and very much enjoyed the open house. Actually laid eyes on Leo and everyone else on the team (except for Pat & Zeal). Highlights were getting to see Pancho up close, as well as the couple who hosted the project in Sequim, plus shaking Erika's hand, since I really appreciate the complexity of the various systems. It was a wonderful experience in spite of my mobility issues --- thanks to the two people who steadied me as I stepped over the bulwark onto the deck.
Overall, well done! Thanks.
Awesome, great report and thanks for sharing.
You drove 1650 miles to see a bird? And you actually got to lay eyes on some other people!
@@jeremiah1059 You're the fun guy at parties right?!
@@scooter2163 ahh...not really, no.
Thank goodness! A new video….we were having withdrawls!
Damn I miss Pancho! Glad to hear (and see) she made the visit!
My son passed away recently and as I chart a new life and try to find meaning in it, getting to see Tally Ho up close and personal including standing on the deck was a spiritual experience for me. My wife and I were very impressed by the work everyone has put in on such a beautiful boat and I absolutely felt the spirit you spoke about several videos ago that while not much of the original boat is left the spirit of the Tally Ho is. Thank you so much and I hope to get an opportunity to visit again!
May I express my deepest condolences to you and your wife in the loss of your son. I cannot imagine being in your shoes. I'm glad you got to spend time on Tally Ho and that it was such an amazing experience. God bless you and your family. 💔❤️
Thank you very much. He was a very good person who was loved by many people (and animals). He got to see a couple of the Tally Ho videos and thought it was pretty amazing. @@PBarrPrince
It was great to see Pancho! (and her humans)
Lovely, lovely, lovely... I can't say enough about how magnificent Tally Ho is looking! Any helper or shipwright should be very proud to place this job on their resume. The vessel itself speaks to the quality of workmanship! ⚓⚓⛵
So heartwarming and emotional to see thousands of people queuing up to see probably the most beautifully crafted boat being built in the world today.
I would have loved to have been there. The journey you have invited us to be a part of is truly inspirational. You yourself are truly a “master” boatbuilder as well as a sailor and the crew you have created are a credit to you and the Tally Ho project. This is the benchmark You Tube channel all channel’s should be judged by.
That whole trim tab project is pure genius, you have some awesome crew, that knows what they are doing.
Zeal's work on the rudder has just been master level. Really interesting to watch. Such a great crew there, and so many fun posts from people who visited the open house. Look forward to spending my Saturday with you all and really hope you guys stick together and keep the channel going even after Tally Ho splashes. So much to look forward to!
The day you sail somewhere in europe i will bee there to lay my eyes on your craftmanship! Been here since the start of the project and im amazed of the skill, time and effort you guys put in to this boat every week!! Keep at it!:)
What can I add to all the comments above (and below)? One person even drove up from Arizona (1650 mi,) to visit the open house. I live in Europe but will try to visit Tally Ho once she gets to this side of the Atlantic. I have been following the channel for some years now and am amazed by the craftmanship (and the determinination) to finish this project successfully. Leo, You are my hero!
My dad was a cabinetmaker. I know he would really appreciate your skill and craftsmanship as do I. Thank you all for revealing what goes into the design and construction of such a magnificent vessel. Best of luck Leo and crew as you complete the final chapters of this beautiful story.
Oh my dog, the little girl reciting your intro to you was freakin adorable. So cool that you let people feel like a part of such a fantastic project even in a little way!
She's the spitting image of my daughter at that age - I couldn't beieve it when I saw her photo on the Patreon page. So very strange today to hear her talk, though - she doesn't sound remotely like my (very English) 'little' girl!
That is my granddaughter and this was so awesome! Leo, you made Olive feel so special! She has watched almost every episode starting when she was 4. Choosing you over a cartoon almost every time! So thank you for being so gracious, she is pretty excited to see this!
@@ljmay-qk3xkCheers to you and your granddaughter ☺️
Loved seeing the pictures from the open house!! The boat is beautiful! You have had a very special group of artisans working for you from the very beginning! So wonderful to see their love and care of the materials and the ship, as well and the enjoyment and pride they must have in this very, very well done ship!
Every episode increases my awe for what you and your team have accomplished. You deserve every possible accolade. Congratulations again. 🇨🇦
I simply don't have words anymore.. This is a piece of art made up of pieces of art. You are all absolutely amazing! 💚
Zeal is an asset, the man busts his ass consistently. I'm a contractor and I can tell you its very rare to find men like that nowadays. Props to him.
He absolutely embraced the rudder project, no small task. This along with chain plates, deck, etc. The man is pure gold.
Thanks, Zeal, love watching you work, love seeing what you've made. As for the open day - hey, Pancho! How you doin'? Cheers, Tally Ho team. So good.
Man that rudder is a true meeting point of art and engineering
Tally Ho is such a beautiful boat and she is a credit to everyone who has worked on her or who have donated and supported this project.
Excellent! So much video detail!
A hundred years, from now, these videos, showing Your building process and management skills, Leo, has set a fine example of fine boat building.
I wish I could have come. Looks like great fun! Many thanks to you Leo and the whole team. It's the highlight of my weekend each time a video comes out. :)
Congratulations on the turnout for the open house. Zeal, beautiful work on the rudder and trim tab. Everything looks so amazing, I am in awe of the work you've all done.
Hi Leo, I’ve been an avid fan of Tally Ho since the beginning (and an Old Bristolian from the 40s). This week, I’ve again viewed the videos of your amazing and inspiring journey from buying Tally Ho for $1, and this week, re-read most of the comments from fellow supporters. The restoration story of Tally Ho will hopefully find its way into a book, portraying your personal story and that of all those who have joined you along the way, they have all made a valuable and unforgettable contribution. We too often forget the past and historical record is vital to growth, and I relive every moment when you lifted the boat, removed the deck and the old keel, and began the journey. Your dedication and exactitude in all that you do shows a wisdom beyond your years and every video frame is greatly appreciated. The evidence of your craftsmanship will last forever. The day will arrive when Tally Ho sails back to England in full sail under your command. Then the adventures will begin. I just hope that I’m around to follow those exciting time. Q: Has any wooden model kit for Tally Ho been considered? Derek Lovemore. Brisbane Australia.
My jealousy, admiration, respect, and awe are at an all time high. kudos to you leo. a dollar and an impractical dream attacked with a focus and determination that has won the hearts of thousands. what a thing...
Another awesome show of the phenomenon that is Tally Ho. It's become a lasting story of what can be done with expertise and attention to detail. Well done Leo and the buch working to complete her.
I''ve been with you since the beginning. Watched every episode. And, while I am not a boatbuilder or sailor, or even own a boat, it has been a fascinating journey that makes me envious. I remember when the project began with just you. Now you have almost 500K subs and drew a crowd of over 2000 to the open house. It must be so gratifying and to see and realize what you have achieved. Rock on Leo.
you are a reminder, to me, to just 'keep on keeping on' and push forwards with project large or small. I enjoy watching each episode whilst working from home making nautical charts for the dutch government!
Her beauty takes my breath away every video. I am so glad you aren't rushing to get her into the water.
The open house looked fantastic. I wish I could have gone, but I don't have the time or resources. I'm a big fan of this series, and it's exciting to see how much it's grown. It's incredible how this show means different things to different people. For some, it's just fun to watch, while for others, it helps them cope with tough times. It's great that it brings so much happiness to many people's lives.
We we’re from Yorkshire and were lucky to be travelling past Port Townsend on your open day. We were so pleased to be able to visit and see what a fantastic job you and the team are doing. It was a privilege to meet the team and congratulate them on their work and the videos.
I sailed a 25ton ferro ketch 25000 miles from Durban. 3 hours of us. I designed and built my self steering on the water in Durban. My trim tab was only half the width of Tally Ho, it worked perfectly and we hardly ever steered whilst we were sailing. I have watched your videos from tthe beginning congratulations for a magnificent series.Frank Luton
I've followed your journey from the beginning and it has inspired me to design and build my own ( much smaller) creek crawling sail boat. Today I cast its keel, and although my workmanship is nowhere near that of you and your team, I'm reminded with every video, DON’T CUT CORNERS!
Great to see that Raul, Darlene and Pancho were able to get there for the open day, although I imagine they're welcome any day.
When Zeele is working, nothing short of a John Williams composition should underscore his scenes, because Zeele is clearly a master craftsman of the highest order, sort of like John Williams is. What a beautiful community surrounds this amazing project! Thanks so much for Tally Ho! and your channel!
Take a look at Paola Hermosin too. I think you will appreciate her. Unlike John Williams ( sure he wont mind me saying this) she is Very very easy on the eye, sings like an angel, and a Passion only the Spanish have.
I will @@hunglikeadonkeybutnotassmelly
A wonderful group of people who came to see for support and encouragement. The rudder is superbly designed and made. Elite skill set making it and all parts of Tally Ho. Respect sent to all the very fine crew. 👏🤝
All these videos are a hit but the star of the show is the remarkable talent that has built this now famous boat the world over. Hat’s off to you all. 😀😀😀😀
Our trip from Huntington Beach, California was well worth the time spent. Meeting Leo and his crew and actually seeing tally ho up close are things that I will always remember.
Leo, I've watched from the beginning when you first went and looked at tally ho with all the weeds growing around her. I have to say I never in my wildest dreams thought tally ho would become the amazing beautiful sailing ship she has become. Did you ever imagine that there would be so much interest world wide about tally ho. I'm sure you never thought you would become such a celebrity and that term applies to the many dedicated craftsmen and women who put so much work into this amazing accomplishment. I'm hoping to be around to see the launch and then seeing you and your crew sail to the U.k. and hopefully the world. You had a dream and a vision you made come to life and that is something very special. God bless tally ho and all who sail on her.
Huge respect! 😊 for sourcing and buying and 1000+miles transporting soulfull wood, and for taking big tools to all the precious lumber: Leo shaping the purpleheart keel, and rudder by Zeal ✌️
My feelings for everything here will never change. The medallion offer as well. Cheers to you all.
Good to know you are having a bit of a day off my friend. The advancing build is still as perfect in every possible way.
I’m praying the ol Tally Ho captain’s son is alive to see her come into harbor.

Cannot wait for fastnet 27 when Tally ho returns after 100yrs after winning the race
What craftsmanship! Leo, you need to keep this crew busy on your next build while you are off sailing the world on Tally Ho.
This boat's fame is ever increasing... Bravo team Tally Ho!
Good lord Tally Ho is looking gorgeous, it really is amazing to see her like this compared to the shape she was in five years ago. The craftsmanship really is second to none. I've loved watching every step of the process, and I'm going to miss it, but just can't wait to see her on the water. Also it's great to see Pancho again!
Best part of the weekend right here!
"Why take so long with the details?"
"Because we can."
Frankly, the attention and engineering is sine qua non, and fills me with warm fuzzies. I wonder whether people have grasped the true nature of Tally Ho, that she isn't merely a boat.
You and the Team (yes, that requires a capital T) are a testament to traditional techniques, values and craft.
Tally Ho is an inspiration. It's major hard graft though the end result will speak volumes to those with a similar dream, who might be wondering if it's worth the blood, sweat and tears.
As the old saw goes, "If it was easy then everybody would be doing it."
It's worth doing BECAUSE not everybody does it.
I'm turning green looking at the crowd who get to see her up close.
Putting all that bling on deffo gives us a glimpse of her final fit, too.
Big hand, Leo.
😊The Tally-Ho as I must remind myself is a Pilot Cutter, a serious work boat but it so much a true work of art and would look right at home in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Congrats to Leo and all of you amazingly talented Shipwrights! You all Rock.
Tally Ho is becoming enchantingly beautiful. A credit to everyone's hard work and talent.
Thank you Leo and Crew for making, and posting these videos. I’ve been following since the beginning and I always look forward to them.
I love how your videos help me to “escape” reality and demonstrate how dreams can be accomplished.
Thank you again for making these videos.
Very much a tribute to Albert Strange, but with the hindsight of 100 or so years use and abuse, and topped off with some serious innovation. Water makers, power distribution, electro mechanical drive. Really really a great design carried forward 100 years.
The amount of complex drilling you’ve tasked Zeal with is astounding and he has succeeded beyond anything I thought possible.
Really hope one day you get the opportunity to give us folk in Blighty a show of this masterpiece. Been watching this build since day 1 🇬🇧 great job done thus far by all involved 👍🏼
A Fastnet Race awaits for sure.
I’ve been fascinated to watch the care and craftsmanship which has gone into this project, and thrilled to see a new generation of artisans mastering, undertaking, and keeping alive skills which in some cases went out of common use in their great grandparents’ day or before. One slight quibble- at about 2:30 in this video, when the process of riveting the pintle to the rudder is being discussed, the term “upsetting” is used. In the forging of metals, upsetting is a process whereby a bar of material is made shorter and wider overall by being perched vertically on an anvil and hammered on the end. When setting a rivet, the process of widening the end of the rivet to clinch it in place is referred to as “peening”.
I hope that the whole team see this. You are all absolutely killing it, not only with the workmanship you display also in the way you put this across to us folk that have absolutely no experience or knowledge in boat building in way that makes us understand every detail!
Dude, that closing montage had me in tears 😂.
I think it was the shot of the cockpit that broke me. So incredibly beautiful.
Yes, my Tally Ho therapy session is done. Thanks again Leo and Crew.
There are not many people in Zeal’s calibration. He swung the hammer to the rivets so confidently like if there was a sacrificial piece around it. And drilling a hole thru the rudder that has to be perfectly centred. Job itself is doable, there is no magic. But having confidence to go with it is another thing. That rudder has hundreds of hours of work at that point.
I remember the episode where they were discussing whose chisels were the sharpest. Everyone said Leo's were, and it's kinda obvious when you look at what a beautiful job he does on his hair with them.
My brother and I could only attend the festival on Saturday, so we couldn't attend your open house. However, we had a great b-fast at the Blue Moose to start the day, then good times across town at the festival. Thanks for reminding us of the event. 👍 I gotta tell ya Leo, as much of an impressively skilled craftsman as you truly are, you've had some really great competition throughout this project. Those who already had great skills, those who've improved, and those who've learned new skills from scratch. As usual, love Tally Ho, and thanks for the great content.✌
WooHoo!
Pancho!
Seeing Tally Ho in person must have been so special. Wish I could have been there.
The Tally Ho is just too beautiful to put in the elements. It is truly a work of art. Leo has assembled a crew of true craftsmen that created a museum piece. Will miss watching the detailed work when it is finished. Congratulations on the progress so far.
It is amazing how many lives you and your crew have touched, especially the young people. Wish I could have been there, but you are a long way from South Florida. ❤
Great to see the long line of people who could get there. Just think what a line us 461k subcribers would create. It shows how much real craftmanship is appreciated.
One of your best! To many people who admire your channel we just witnessed the birth of a baby. She now lives! Resurected from the grave!
Thanks so very much for taking on this for us. We all have found this journey like expectant parents. We can now envision your dream completely and admire all your efforts. Expect 10's of thousands on the day She is Christened.
Everybody has dreams that they never fulfill because life gets in the way and folks like you live your dreams and it touches a common thread in a lot of folks. What a beautiful boat/dream.
Leo and crew, thanks for taking time to prepare the open house. The deck furniture is fantastic and it felt good to be part of the community. Cheers.
