I have an ancestor called Pellew. He got the name through the old British naval tradition of officers naming their male children with the surname of the captain they were serving with when the child was born. So it was really nice to see a reference to Capt. Pellew Keep up the good work!
You NEED to get some footage of the launch! Even if you get the footage from someone else who is there. It would make for a great video if you can get there to cover it or at least a little segment in one of your own videos if you can't. Please, I'd love to see it if you could. Cheers!🍻
Thank you Leo for stepping in while I can't be there to document the progress! :-) Great to see how they are getting along and to see Luke being his old self! Cheers
Excellent and I love that Luke promotes the use of trees as a carbon sink and encourages the sustainable management of them. Good luck with the launch and all that follows.
Thanks from all of the boat building families of Man O War Cay, Abaco Bahamas.... Settlement rebuilders also. The community is rebuilding after the Hurricane. As always, we enjoy your videos. This one is great. Love the Pilot Cutters
Pilot Cutters are the vessel.... equal, balanced, and lovely.SHE will be a challenge to sail, but an experience of a lifetime....Eighty years in the making, "PELLEW" sounds magnificent. I would give my eye teeth to see her, and seeing you and her are remarkable, only LEO could bring us such astounding video.....Owned a Falmoth Cutter as a youth, and the investment in time and effort here is mind boggling.
Awwe poor Pancho... That bird loves him! I don't know whats going to happen to him when its all said and done. Either he has himself a pirate captains bird or poor Pancho is going to be one lonely broken hearted birdy. 😭 🐦
Trimming up the keel as we speak. Mind you he wouldn't be as fast and exciting to watch as Leo wielding an adze! That is poetry in (speeded up) action!
What an inspiring load of old bollocks. As one who has the t-shirt,I can say that building an ocean going boat is the greatest combination of pain and pleasure imaginable to man, If i wasnt so old and so broke from the first adventure, I would start again tomorrow!
Good luck to the owners, the crew of the PELLEW and all who sail on her. It's great to see wooden boats like the PELLEW being built and even better when people like Leo commit to rebuilding wooden boats like TALLY HO. May Neptune bless them all.
Wow she is as gorgeous as any centerfold you'll ever see. Love the classic arched & angle of the stern. The below deck is fabulous & that galley is beautiful. I want to see her launched & under sail. Thanks for the tour.
Great to see young people getting into the craft of building wooden boats. I used to live in Truro. Many fond memories. The old Quay is now filled in. Had a few beers in the Tinners in my day. Looking forward to the next chapter of Tally Ho
This vessel is superbly beautiful. Down below is magnificent. I am in awe of the craftsmanship. I keep replaying the video. I am a woodworker who once had a dream to build a wooden ocean going sailing vessel. Too old now.... but take enormous pleasure in seeing people realize the dream and are ensuring future generations keep building boats like these.
Always wonderful to meet the hero of one of my heros....if i could live my life over...I would follow in your wake without a second thought!!. KUDOS!!!
Well, that's the best load of bollocks I've heard spoken for a good long time. She looks fantastic. Atb to all who have worked on Pellew, and you too Leo.
Now that has the most beautiful lines. Luke is the type of guy I'd sit next to the pub fire and listen to all evening. Thanx for the invaluable resource of your channel, to expose these relatively obscure - and amazing - projects. 1 400 sq ft of canvas? She's gong to f-l-y. Wish I could be crew, if only once. Crewed on a barquentine (105 ft) and brigantine (120 ft). There is nothing so exhilarating as the crack of sail from the yards, in a reach with 30-kt winds, stem throwing up spray.
That man is a treasure. Him and Fred Dibnah would have been one heel of an evening of stories and information. This episode is a testament to the ingenuity of the British.
Wood boats are one of the great human achievements of all time. Wood musical instruments also. The cons mentioned in support of wood boats is spot on. And totally true.
Great project. What a wealth of knowledge generations and generations worth being passed on by Luke and Leo. Civilisation is contained. In people like this. Great opportunity for youngsters with the right genes (hands on with good brains).
What a beautiful build! Had to go back and watch your original visit all over again. Shame you weren't around to do the same sort of interview and walk through while the Greyhound was being built. She's another beauty and I watch the time-lapse build of her often.
Wonderful to hear you speak On the evolution and procurement of the vessel "PELLEW", share your attitude, and a young mans pursuit; which as young as you are sir, means all of us.Cheers.
I really appreciate Luke's sentiments. Long ago I decided I wanted to own a boat , but modern watercraft with wonky mechanics and electronics never appealed to me and I knew I'd never own a wooden sailboat if I didn't build one myself. Still haven't started yet but I'm closer now than I've ever been thanks to this and all the other boat building channels.
The all mighty tree gives so much. I love woodworking, mostly traditional furniture, but have built a few small (less than 12.5 ft) tenders. I have had the desire to build a 20 ft sailing vessel for about 10 years, but haven't got past the planning stage. Luke's speech is motivating - he's right about not thinking about too much, just do it!
Remarkable story about leaving the boy in charge of bringing the boat back alone. A different world. On another note, there is something oddly compelling with the lines of boat hull and sail. Where compound curve, ogive, cut; never intended to excite the imagination, lie beneath the line of sight while sail, voluptuous lay above, yet both in efficient service. Thanks for making me dream Leo.
I love the advice: if you want to start a project, don’t think about it, just do it. Leo followed that advice, by his own admission. I totally get the romance.
Thanks for such an interesting interview, as well as an informative video, Leo! I certainly enjoyed hearing a sound justification for wooden boats, from an equally impressive mariner and builder.
Passion and dreams are what got me started in boat building. Way before I could drive a car I was trying to build something that would float me away to never never land. Forty years ago I got a chance to apprentice to a shipwright and I haven't stopped yet. Now retired, I still have those nervous twitches if I don't have some sort of boat in the works...
Leo thanks for showing use this beautiful boat. It is magnificent! Hope they video the launch and post it so we can watch. Would love to see the finished product. Thanks
Now That's A Boat!!!!! Wow He has quite the Project It's Absolutely Beautiful Hope you get all your stuff organized and get back to your own boat. All the best from Canada
One single man operating that large a boat? Wow! I want to see this! Also I really appreciate the builder's thoughts on sustainability and carbon capture.
Lin Mal Okay, to start with, you would probably run it on the main sail solely. That way it seems doable to me. On the way back there was no need to hurry.
I watch every episode of the series in order. I mostly get excited about the actaul work, design, making, and installing all the pieces that make up a boat. For example, I was enchanted to see the process started with the keel, then moved to the next step, etc. The whole process has been revalatory and interesting. But tonight, listening to Luke Powell talk about the sustainability of wood and wooden ships, I was shocked at the simple wisdom and truth of simplicity. I am definitely not one of those fanatics wearing clothing that I have made myself from renewable fibers. We all have to strike a balance in this modern world. We have lost this. SImplicity is often wisdom. I am not a vegan. I buy clothing based mostly on my budget, less on sustainability. But if we had a few more like this wise gentleman/craftsmen and less politicians and businessmen driving our economies and government, we would be further ahead in our race to save the planet from our selfish stupidity.
What a fascinating and intelligent man.
Which one?

...good one! both legends! lol
Well said S Jay
He would have hooked me as a young man. I love wooden boats.
"Once you are out there on the boat, you and the boat are the world. Everything else disappears." What a line. This is why we sail! Thank you!
I have an ancestor called Pellew. He got the name through the old British naval tradition of officers naming their male children with the surname of the captain they were serving with when the child was born. So it was really nice to see a reference to Capt. Pellew Keep up the good work!

The launch will be streamed on Facebook Live, "Working Sail Ltd" 29 Feb 0900 UTC.
And the interior when it is all fitted out!
Absolutely.
@@frederickstibbert7389 dang, that's 0100 where I am. Guess I'll have to stay up late that night!
I second that.
Luke is a poet. Sailed with him twice. What a legend!
That is exactly what I thought. It's like his life is poetry. And I think Leo is well on his way to reach that level.
One wise man interviews another. A lifetime of truth to be learned here.
Thank you Leo for stepping in while I can't be there to document the progress! :-) Great to see how they are getting along and to see Luke being his old self! Cheers
🌟P E L L E W🌟 is magnificent!
Ironically, Luke is one of a rare breed that isn't full of bollocks!
Terrific video...thankyou Leo.
Excellent and I love that Luke promotes the use of trees as a carbon sink and encourages the sustainable management of them. Good luck with the launch and all that follows.
Yes, and I almost didn't catch on to that little green Extinction Rebellion button he was wearing. I knew I liked this guy!
No machine will ever replace old school craftsmanship ,,,another floating piece of art,,,,well done sir !!!
One day Pellew and Tally Ho will meet up somewhere in port like old friends from another time.
I sure hope a "Jack London" appears out of the wood work, from these boats.
One hopes!
What do you call two sailboats within view of each other? A race!
Exactly.
Would be more fun seeing Leo and Luke meeting out in the open and (as it automatically happens every time between two Capt'ns ...) race the girls ...
Thanks from all of the boat building families of Man O War Cay, Abaco Bahamas.... Settlement rebuilders also. The community is rebuilding after the Hurricane.
As always, we enjoy your videos.
This one is great. Love the Pilot Cutters
I am deeply grateful that such a skilled and knowledgeable man exists. A boat like this is a testimony to what makes humans unique in so many ways.
That is fantastic and the man does not talk bollocks. What a work of art.
Pilot Cutters are the vessel.... equal, balanced, and lovely.SHE will be a challenge to sail, but an experience of a lifetime....Eighty years in the making, "PELLEW" sounds magnificent.

Totally inspired, well said. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Luke and Leo!
Meanwhile Pancho is walking around the Tally Ho with the chickens wondering where the hell are you ?? lol
I am afraid Pancho is chopping bits off the Tally Ho, eating his way through the hull !
@@Roucasson I should think by now he's through one side and starting on the opposite one!
Awwe poor Pancho... That bird loves him!
I don't know whats going to happen to him when its all said and done.
Either he has himself a pirate captains bird or poor Pancho is going to be one lonely broken hearted birdy.
😭 🐦
Let’s hope we don’t find a brood of very colorful little chicks running around up there 😬
Trimming up the keel as we speak. Mind you he wouldn't be as fast and exciting to watch as Leo wielding an adze! That is poetry in (speeded up) action!
There's no finer moniker than to be described as a "strapping lad". Thanks Luke for sharing your passion.
There is nothing more compelling, than a man's passion for his craft... your videos are enthralling, Leo..
A pure joy to see this massive undertaking coming to fruition. !!!
What an inspiring load of old bollocks. As one who has the t-shirt,I can say that building an ocean going boat is the greatest combination of pain and pleasure imaginable to man, If i wasnt so old and so broke from the first adventure, I would start again tomorrow!
I never get tired of listening to men like Luke. Salt of the earth, these men.
Good luck to the owners, the crew of the PELLEW and all who sail on her. It's great to see wooden boats like the PELLEW being built and even better when people like Leo commit to rebuilding wooden boats like TALLY HO. May Neptune bless them all.

A really genuine gentleman, a true boat builder just like you Leo.
“will learn damned fast” . . . talk about old school! I love it
Luke, I love your attitude on trees and their use as a crop .... brilliant, and more logical.
Yes, a renewable resource and carbon abating as well. Plant (and use) more trees, just don't cut the rainforest though !!
It is a great thought for managed forests. However for old growth forests its not great - some areas should be left as habitat
Thank goodness there are still people who can build such beautiful things and still those who learn from them.
This is probably the best video of all of this series. Thank you for building and enjoying that endeavor
This vessel is superbly beautiful. Down below is magnificent. I am in awe of the craftsmanship. I keep replaying the video. I am a woodworker who once had a dream to build a wooden ocean going sailing vessel.

Beautiful boat and a passionate builder. The Jolie Brise is another fine example of a pilot cutter.
"You and the boat are the world, everything else disappears", for a sailor that i so true.
Thank you for this video. This man is the embodiment of the spirit of wooden boats.
Well, that's the best load of bollocks I've heard spoken for a good long time. She looks fantastic. Atb to all who have worked on Pellew, and you too Leo.
I don’t think the comment “load of bollocks” is appropriate as these people are highly skilled.
A Master boat builder and plain spoken philosopher, outstanding!
Now that has the most beautiful lines.
Luke is the type of guy I'd sit next to the pub fire and listen to all evening.
Thanx for the invaluable resource of your channel, to expose these relatively obscure - and amazing - projects.
1 400 sq ft of canvas? She's gong to f-l-y.
Wish I could be crew, if only once.
Crewed on a barquentine (105 ft) and brigantine (120 ft).
There is nothing so exhilarating as the crack of sail from the yards, in a reach with 30-kt winds, stem throwing up spray.
Excellent video. Thank you for checking in with the PELLEW.
That man is a treasure. Him and Fred Dibnah would have been one heel of an evening of stories and information.
This episode is a testament to the ingenuity of the British.
How beautiful is that craftsmanship...... truly a work of art......
What a beautiful piece of craftmanship. Great to see a tradition boat that size being built again.
Listening to Luke talk about boat building and resource sustainability, while wearing an XR badge, is a really satisfying fusion of my interests.
Wood boats are one of the great human achievements of all time. Wood musical instruments also. The cons mentioned in support of wood boats is spot on. And totally true.
What a lovely, humble, articulate man. Not a word of bollocks in any of that. It will be lovely to see Pellew launched and sailing.

I loved what he aaid about tree should be treated as a long time crop. These last couple of videoes have been outstanding
Anyone who has read the Horatio Hornblower books is familiar with Edward Pellew. Great name for a great boat.
Indeed! I never realized that Captain Pellew in Misdshipsman Hornblower was based on a real person!
@@nlzaaf Most of Hornblower's superiors throughout the series are real people.
What a quality ship! She will sail the seas and see, live and breath more of the land than most!
Great project. What a wealth of knowledge generations and generations worth being passed on by Luke and Leo. Civilisation is contained. In people like this. Great opportunity for youngsters with the right genes (hands on with good brains).
What a beautiful build! Had to go back and watch your original visit all over again. Shame you weren't around to do the same sort of interview and walk through while the Greyhound was being built. She's another beauty and I watch the time-lapse build of her often.
What a legacy. I agree with everything you have said. How proud to be British!!!!!
Wonderful to hear you speak On the evolution and procurement of the vessel "PELLEW", share your attitude, and a young mans pursuit; which as young as you are sir, means all of us.Cheers.
Fantastic! My father would have loved this channel
Bloody gorgeous. I can't wait to see it in full fit.
This guy knows his stuff and has the right philosophy on boats . . .
Saw Pellew sailing out of St Mawes this weekend. Fine sight. Luke, you should be very proud. Fair winds.
I really appreciate Luke's sentiments. Long ago I decided I wanted to own a boat , but modern watercraft with wonky mechanics and electronics never appealed to me and I knew I'd never own a wooden sailboat if I didn't build one myself. Still haven't started yet but I'm closer now than I've ever been thanks to this and all the other boat building channels.
What a wonderful dissertation from the Doctor of Pellew!
Luke Mate You definitely don't talk a load of Bollocks. Pure passion my friend and oh so true.
A very interesting man, great to listen to. Passionate about his boat building easy to see how Leo got hooked. Thank you
You have a trade and skill level that must give you great satisfaction with your work
Easily the most eloquent shipbuilder one could ever hope to meet and interview. Champion gentleman and I loved the calendar girls!
Fantastic project, beautiful boat, simply brilliant overall. With people like Luke and Leo in the world there is still hope.

This good not have been said better. A lot of passion for wood boats and they are art.
Cheers
Thanks for such an interesting interview, as well as an informative video, Leo! I certainly enjoyed hearing a sound justification for wooden boats, from an equally impressive mariner and builder.
Great content as usual. Channel should receive an award for the music. Always great.
He's one of the very few people who doesn't talk bollocks.
Love what this man says. Hope Luke and Pellew come to New Zealand one day.
Thanks Leo and Mr Powell , inspiring!!
The "Apprentice" will learn damned fast!! Just love listening to Leo and Luke - great work and good luck guys.
Very well said on the purpose and use of Trees and wooden boat aspect. I think of Self sufficiency. Beautiful project.
So enjoyed listening to Luke
Leo releases a new video and I stop what I am doing and watch said video.
Same. My girlfriend was like "shouldn't you be doing homework?"
"Shhhhhhhhh Leo is on"
@@johnhaxx
Exactly
Me too.
Awesome, what a testament to old world skills. Living history and such a beauty...
Another excellent visit to Mother England and the grand adventures of wooden boat building.
Luke's true words about wooden boats well said. Thanks
One of the highest quality interviews you’ve done possibly the highest. Great guy
It is beautiful to ear you talking about wood boats THANK YOU - HI. from California
Good Morning Leo! Love that you keep us up to date on this.
Passion and dreams are what got me started in boat building. Way before I could drive a car I was trying to build something that would float me away to never never land. Forty years ago I got a chance to apprentice to a shipwright and I haven't stopped yet. Now retired, I still have those nervous twitches if I don't have some sort of boat in the works...
There is real magic in these boats! Thank you Leo.
Fantastic cutter with a great name. No bollocks at all! Look forward to seeing her this year!
Luke Powell is a modern-day romantic and poet...in addition to being one heckuva boat builder. KUDOS to you, Mr. Powell.
Leo thanks for showing use this beautiful boat. It is magnificent! Hope they video the launch and post it so we can watch. Would love to see the finished product. Thanks
Luke was spot on there, best boat I ever worked on, BM 156 Angelus, oak built
Now That's A Boat!!!!! Wow He has quite the Project It's Absolutely Beautiful
Hope you get all your stuff organized and get back to your own boat. All the best from Canada
One single man operating that large a boat? Wow! I want to see this!
Also I really appreciate the builder's thoughts on sustainability and carbon capture.
No, it was a 'boy' to take the cutter back, after dropping off all the pilots on their respective ships.
Lin Mal Okay, to start with, you would probably run it on the main sail solely. That way it seems doable to me. On the way back there was no need to hurry.
What beautiful wooden sailboat ⛵️! 😀⛵️😘 Mike
Totally agree with the attitude to trees and use of wood. Plastic has to go, where possible.
Outstanding interview, and what a nice bloke. Salt of the earth.
Absolutely beautiful ship! Thanks Leo, can’t wait to see her underway...

Thank You Leo for bringing us this. I so much enjoyed Luke!
It’s no more crazy than buying some land and building your own house... but the sea makes it so much more exiting!
