    When I first started being a Patron to the project, it was to support you Leo... What you were doing out alone in the boatyard was so interesting and exciting to watch. Then, as you started to hire young shipwrights to help I felt so happy that my few dollars a month was contributing to them starting their careers and growing their skills. And now it brings me so much joy to know that those dollars are going to support all of these mature, talented, and dedicated career professionals. I just increased my Patreon tier a little, to help in a tiny way pay for Robert and everyone's work on the spars and all the other work going into this boat. As much as, Leo, you are doing a service as a Boatyard Manager and as a Video Producer/Editor... I think the service you are doing by taking folks contributions and distributing them out to your roster of local artisans is also a real gift to us as contributors. It really feels like the money is going somewhere important. Thank you for all of those things, and Merry Christmas to you, and don't forget to get some rest from time to time!

      Nice to see the Blue Sea Systems equipment in there. They make a great product & have great support from their head office which is not far away. I've tried other electrical suppliers but the quality & ease of servicing these panels are great. I also noticed that each breaker is tied to a separate terminal block so you don't have to undo the connection(s) at the breaker (a real PITA!). Really an amazing system with the tie-in to the electrical system(s) in the engine room. Many thousands of $$$ worth of equipment.

    It was sad to see how poor shape Tally Ho was in the beginning way back when, basically a “total” in auto insurance parlance. But now we are seeing pieces of her coming back to life in the brightwork and trim, not forgetting her transom, too. Beautiful, to say the least. A tribute to her and the people who built and have sailed her. You and your team are worthy of much praise and respect as both fine shipwrights and preservers of history. 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻 Merry Christmas to you and your crew! 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻

    I have been following the Tally Ho Rebild from the beginning. (I didn't know what I was getting myself into!) I never miss an episode and find it all fascination. That said, at 74, I don't think I will ever follow anything like this again. It is once in a lifetime event for me! Beautiful work by each and every craftsman. That is what keeps me coming back for more. They never cease to amaze me. And, by the way, that ladder that Patrick built is very awesome.

What has this taken 5 years? it appears that girl from back home went her way. But, how many will want to spend their life on the oceans of the world? It's a big ASK of a woman. His life on the water will be the next phase of his RUclips channel, and with Starlink, we should see it all.

    As a woodworker I am and have been in awe of the crew you’ve been able to assemble that are without a doubt a level above the rest. I know other woodworkers watch these videos and are easily impressed with their talents. Truly inspiring and a lot further north of what I’ll ever achieve as a craftsman. But I don’t feel bad, instead it puts things in perspective to me. You reap what you sew. Enjoy the content and the journey. Merry Christmas to all of the crew as well as your viewers.

    No doubt this channel is the class of RUclips. I can't imagine what this boat will be worth when finished since EVERYTHING is of the highest quality, but I expect it will be a large number. I'm happy to make my modest contribution and always thrilled to see the next episode. As an aside... I love seeing how Patrick has blossomed as a shipwright. My guess is that he will be part of the crew when Tally Ho leaves Port Townsend. No doubt this will be Leo's passion forever, but I sense it could be for Patrick as well. I can imagine the videos they'll create at sea to share with all of us. There is no reason this journey needs to come to an end for those of us who love Tally Ho. Thank you Leo.

      Garrick ... love the comment as I feel the same way about this amazing project. Great to hear that there are many Aussies following this build and good luck on your boat project. Just for fun I used Chat-GPT to add a genuine Aussy accent to your comment and I think it did a fine job, but you'll be the final judge ...
      G'day Leo! It's Chrissy day down here in Bridgetown, West Aussie, and we're sweatin' it out at a scorchin' 38 degrees C. Been keepin' an eye on the Tally Ho Project since the get-go, mate. She's lookin' bloody bonza, a ripper effort from all the legends puttin' in the hard yakka. Just wanted to chuck a merry festie your way and give ya a good onya! Top job to everyone involved. Keen as a bean to catch a breeze with ya. I'm cobblin' together my own boat, so let's see who's gonna make a splash first. Cheers, mate! 😊

    I’ve had the pleasure of sailing under a couple spars built by Doug J, you’ll never regret the circumstances that lead you to those spars. I own an old power boat and I would love to have a spar I’ve been dreaming of built by him.

    The attention to detail is unparalleled. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it before, this content is not only highly entertaining but very inspiring as well. Cheers!

    Merry Christmas to all the team. Every time I see and hear that electrician I'm just blown away by his skill, he has done an amazing job.

    You even went out of your way to matcht the pitch of the router at 11:38 with the music.😂 The attention to detail on the build as well as the video's is almost scary.

    Seeing your crew gone made me think back to a time when I worked for a Seventh Day Adventist and there was, no damn Christmas. He said..."Get back to work"... The lot of us packed up our tools and left. No Brethren amongst us. Ho ho ho.

    Perhaps a bit too technical, but I would love to see the electrical schematics and who/how they were created. As an electrician I see the amazing wiring, both low voltage and high voltage, and am fascinated by the complexity of all the components and how they are wired together.😲

    I got hooked on this project 10 minutes in. Leo is a real inspiration and proof that chasing your dream can achieve amazing results. His knowledge and craftsmanship as well as his dedication to keeping a very esoteric set of skills alive speaks highly of his character and his obvious love of all things related to boat-building and the nautical "arts"-

    I've never worked on this boat or even seen it in person, but Tally Ho has been a huge influence on me either way. You and everyone involved are making history here and I am very thankful for everything you do. Best wishes and happy whatevers! See you soon. 💚

    Bravo to you and the crew, past and present! Wonderful to see so many skills and great team work at play! I am the largest shareholder of a sixth generation 'skills based' company in the UK (who also work World wide), and this project is such an inspiration. Wonderful team, and wonderful team leader - Leo! Happy Christmas to you all!

    Amazing videos. Congratulations for all the work you've been done with Tally Ho. In one of the videos i saw a black & white picture of tally Ho in my home town. It was in Lisbon - Portugal in Europe. Maybe we will see you here one of these days. Great job. Fair winds for Tally Ho and all of the great staff behind this enormeos job.

    Wow, a surprise Christmas video from Leo! Just lovely.
    I need to do a bit of shopping for tomorrow's dinner and was wondering whether to go to Hadlock or into PT. Now I know -- got to go see the lights!
    Merry Christmas, Leo, and everyone on the project.

    Happy Holy Days and Merry New Year! I've been watching since right about the time of the 'New Keel Timber' videos. From what you showed and talked about in this video, it looks to me like you'll be launching in about what...two years? 🤔😉. Wow, there have been a whole herd of hands working on this piece of plunder. Tally Ho is becoming more jewel like every day it seems. How she'll look halfway across the Arctic Ocean's NW Passage ...That's gonna' be something.
