Can I have a word for Paddy. The joker potter who came on site hardly knowing one end of a chisel from another but willing to give up his time and offer a pair of hands for whatever needed doing. Now capable of turning out some outstanding cabinetry.
I'm sure that's not come easy so top marks Paddy and a big up for those, Leo et al, who put time in to teaching him.
100 percent I always remember when paddy came aboard as practical labour. He's gotten himself some serious skills. Great to see .
Dear @Raysnature
👍👌👏 Well said, Sir, well said indeed! And don't forget that he is a skilled ceramics/pottery maker also.
Not to forget his truly outstanding acting performances as the blonde Duchess. 😁 ;-)
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Watching him develop his skills is one of the many absolute delights of this series!
Three cheers for Patrick!
IMO, one of Leo's greatest strengths is team building. When I came on for the 2nd framing party, I had carpentry experience... in a theater. I could make things look great... from 15ft away. I wasn't the only one on that team with little to no wooden boat experience, but Leo essentially built an entire system using methods we could all understand to achieve incredibly tight tolerances, far beyond anything I had thought I could do on my own. His ability to balance big-picture thinking and find detail something I hope I can someday come close to.
I can't overstate what a privilege it has been so far to witness the re-building of Tally-Ho. When I first got hooked on this series, I took for granted what I was seeing, but gradually, I realised this isn't like any other boat building RUclips series, slapped together from discarded pallet wood, oh no. Tally-Ho is the Rolls-Royce of RUclipsr built sailing yachts.
It truly is. It is the gold standard of yachts, not seen in a long time except with multi-million motor yachts for now-discgraced Russian oligarchs!
People like to comment that she's not the same boat, that it's basically a new build etc. but honestly, this is how you re-build a boat in that sort of condition properly. There's no patching on Tally Ho, no "good enough" and nothing done to just get it floating, this is how it should be
I was about to comment the same so I will just say I concur. 👍 Absolutely looking gorgeous and see Tally Ho come alive again into a working sailing vessel has been a privilege especially watching all the artisans, craft folks, and technicians helping work on the Tally Ho.
@@helplmchoking In fairness, Leo originally set out to reuse as much of the old boat as possible. His initial estimation of her condition was not thorough enough, because, as we know, it became clear that very little of her was salvageable some episodes in. Leo and the team has done a remarkable job at keeping her hull and rig as close to the original drawings, so while it may not be the same boat, it certainly has the same soul.
@@helplmchoking regarding the idea of it not being the same boat: at what point during the rebuild would you look at it and say that it's not the same boat that was bought for a dollar?
I just watched this episode, No. 182 posted March 2, 2024. The first episode was posted June 30, 2017. I first watched it July 21, 2017, and became a monetary supporter. Leo is nearly _SEVEN_ years into this project. It was obvious from that first video that Leo had the vision, drive, genius, skill, experience, talent, etc to see Tally Ho through to relaunch. Many people joined when I did and many joined later. The one thing that has been true from the beginning, is that the end has always been in sight; just two more years and the project will end. The Sampson Boat Co channel has been a constant joy to watch. I have received much more from Leo than I can ever repay him for. Thank you to the entire crew, past and present.
Similar story. I started with his third video, when he built the boat shed…by himself. I thought ‘This kid’s crazy.’ Then he cleaned the workshop, again by himself, and I realized I was wrong - he’s got gumption. Little did we all know how far that would go. It’s been such a wonderful, organic journey. I enjoy reading the comments as much as the watching the videos. There are just so many….
Will you make my dreams come true also.
I'm a genius
@@tomtom6319 Okay, lets see what you have and we will make up our mines if we will support it.
Same story, and same time line, it’s like having a good friend to check up on every week. Thanks Leo and co well done
Amen Brother! I started watching him early on and got my oldest son (now 53) watching him. It has been simply amazing the passion and foresight he had when he decided to do this project! I always loved his desire to keep everything original that he could unless it hindered function or safety standards he wanted to hold. It will be awesome to see the long term affect he has had on those passing through his shop and spending time on this project. I have also loved every minute of his quality of work ethics, his dedication and focus on his work, his ability to inspire those helping him, and not lowering his standards for excellence even when he was tight on funds. You knew you were investing in something of significant historical value that should someday be a showpiece of maritime drive to prove you can resurrect an historical vessel and totally redo it down to the bones and gut of the ship and bring it back to superior standards of not just quality but to standards of excellence in re-design, engineering soundness, and sea worthiness without compromise. People will invest in the type of vision and ability that he not only talked about but put his money and hard work into to show how committed he was to doing what he said. After a few videos it was very apparent that he was going to do what he said!
I have been around boats all my 76 years and have to say that this is the very finest boat building I have ever seen. Such talent is remarkable. Well done all.
Don't forget vision.
Agreed. Exceptional quality of workmanship. She is nearly ready.
Money makes the dream a reality
@@alnov91 all the money in the world can't do that type of design, building, and skill, that only comes from investing your life into something and studying and working hard with others to obtain the knowledge and skills, and working like a dog to get the right tools and resources to do the work. Resolve, vision, initiative, integrity, creativity, and get out of bed whether you feel like it or not day after day after month and after years.
@@hyselwatchandclockrepair1874 Well I have been a finish carpenter for 37 years. In that time I have endured my disappointment when a customer wont pay for the job to be completed in a more perfectly artistic quality. Your correct I think in trying to say that Tally Ho is art work, and creative art is priceless. But I assure you that my team can build an identical Tally Ho provided the capital resources are available. In fact as we look around the world at enterprises far outstripping the pace and collaboration here, a great multitude of Art is realized through generous patronages. Somewhere it was published that Sampson Boat is receiving $175k/month in revenues.
Hi Leo, Hope you can read this comment in the sea of comments. I will keep making this suggestion until I hear from you.As an original viewer and Patreon contributor for many yearsI have developed a connection to you and Tally Ho that is more satisfying than I can describe. You are the part of my life which I live thru Tally Ho. My suggestion is that , when finished, you have a full size " coffee table " book printed with all the beautiful construction shots you have taken over the years and a full collection of Tally Ho under sail. Do a high-quality book in keeping with the project of your lifetime. I don't care what it costs-I want one. I imagine MANY people will want one. A project to generate some revenue for Tally Ho and great joy for your loyal followers. Knox Rodgers
What a great idea!!!
I agree!!
Excellent idea!
I love this idea!
Great Idea. Hopefully Leo does a survey of who is interested because I would like to pre-order one.
Tally Ho looks beautifull and priceless. You and your team have done a marvelous job in getting this old lady into a modern yacht without loosing her former identity, Quality job Leo.
Losing, not loosing.
@@silasmarner7586 You knew what he meant.
@@bukka6697 Still doesn't hurt to get it right.
my apologies. i guess my thumb touched the o twice. Iphone keyboard not as good a the former blackberry
@@silasmarner7586
My Father and I used to watch every time Leo released a new video, sadly I lost my Father May 26 2023, I couldn’t bring myself to watch the updates for several months, I’m glad that I’ve now caught up, and look forward to the day that Tally Ho is launched. My Dad loved ships, he served on a tug that is now a museum in Ramsgate harbor. He built a wooden scale model of the Cutty Sark. I’m just sad that my Dad won’t see the relaunch of Tally Ho.
I just imagined Tally Ho being rebuilt in another hundred years and that gorgeous stained glass panel being cherished and installed again.
RUclips needs to be featuring this channel worldwide.
Pretty sure it is
it is! i watch and support from germany.🙂

I was having a bad day, ruminating on my mental health issues, digging through muck. Yet as I spent 20 minutes watching this video, it made me smile and all giddy. Watching Patty turn the liquor locker light on for the first time and the fact that I had the exact same reaction as him made me laugh out loud for a good few minutes. Every time I watch a video of Tally Ho (and I revisit the older ones from time to time) it makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. Godspeed
I hope you have an amazing day my friend. Life isn't always easy, but just like the Tally Ho, it can't be fixed alone. I struggle myself sometimes but best to remind ourselves that we all have people that care and love us. You are not alone, keep your head up and tell the negativity to fork off.
Embrace the suck. Whatever you resist persists. If you're able, hard exercise helps. If you're not conditioned, don't overdo it or you'll never do it again lol. I find hard exercise is like having a shower on the inside (albeit about an hour or 2 after I finish ;). The effects go on for several days.
Lovely words. Thank you for sharing with us all. Hope you're feeling better. Leo and these videos have a 'way' of making us feel so much better after watching, than before we pressed play.
It's amazing what a boat can do.
There is another new series u will likely enjoy. Favourite boatworks.
I'm an upholsterer in Texas and man... It's always great to see someone's reaction when they're happy with the work. Well done Maya!sp
That stain glass looks absolutely superb Leo.
The look on Paddy’s face when he switched the light on was a joy to behold.
He needs to have custom leather divides in the liquor locker so the bottles of rum don’t go flying into the stainglass 🫣
I'm glad a nice imagine of the Pacific Northwest will always be on the boat... this boat is mind blowing...
I have been watching Tally Ho come together for years, I started watching when there were only thousands of people watching, not hundreds of thousands. I has been an incredible journey. The first episode when Leo goes inside the hull and looks around at a shell and says yes, I will do it to now is mind boggling. I consider this to be the finest boat building channel on RUclips.
Thanks Leo.
I totally agree. An incredible project becoming an amazingly beautiful ship.
Long live the lovely liquor locker light!
Never underestimate the power of inside jokes, camaraderie, and work friendships.
Cheers indeed.
Liquor locker light?? But I just met her.
Leo, I think the most incredible part of this whole project is the number of artisans you've surrounded yourself with. The boat itself is becoming a functional piece of art. That stained glass is amazing, but the leather work and colour choice for the cushions are just excellent. I've said it before, but as much as I want the build to go on forever, I cant wait to see her when she is finished.
I’ll be showing this to my kids so they know that the college pathway isn’t the only pathway. Such fine work by wonderful people right here.
Here, here!
Well I mean... unless they have a mentor or something they are still going to need school after graduation. The types of schools that teach skills like boat building or manufacturing are trade schools. If it's a good fit then there's a lot of money for skilled tradesman!!!
The stained glass is stunning, and will be such a wonderful reminder of where Tally Ho was reborn wherever you are in the world. She really has become a special boat. Everyone involved over the years has brought some magic with them. It's truly remarkable.
I unfortunately cannot contribute more than my viewership. Thank you for allowing me to join with you as you make this project and journey. It’s truly a bright spot in my day when you release a video.
Leo, in the salon Maya centered the pattern on the shorter section. She then continued with the same spacing from the corner AND continued without breaking the pattern at the joint of the two back rests. What a lady, what an eye for detail !!!
Thanks for noticing !!
@@mayavegagarcia9021 I'm in the trade also, I noticed! Nice work!
Anyone, and i mean anyone, who has joined two pieces of wood with a nail or picked up a hammer and chisel can be nothing but in jaw dropping awe of what team tally-ho has achieved so far Leo.. I tips me hat to you all..
So when Tally Ho got evicted from the original place of rebirth, there was a lot of angst. However the silver lining of transferring to Port Townsend, has enabled this Project to highlight the breadth and depth of Trades and Artisans that exist in and around this Maritime Community and shine a light on the possibilities that anyone seeking repair, restoration or upgrade to their own marine based project should consider and utilise. Port Townsend is a centre of excellence. Take a Bow everyone involved. That now includes Mya, Golden Hour Leather, Alice the Stain Glass, to the long list of Boat Builders, Riggers, Mechanics, Electricians et al. All making Local, but now known Global...... This is the Gift that Tally Ho and Leo have created.
True, it's great to see that community get so much support and reputation. I've wondered if Carol Hasse is building Tally Ho's sails. She sails a Folkboat which must warm Leo's heart having made a transatlantic in one of his own. Two other RUclips boat builders have made what seem like odd choices, Redivia has vertical cut cotton sails, and Arrabella has a track and modern sailcolth. On Tally Ho, with the served stays and shrouds, and wooden blocks, (both wisely equipped with hidden modern synthetics in their functional guts) as well as the ash hoops, she still has a very traditional look. I hope Leo opts for a three-strand rope like Hempex for the running rigging. I love the look of and function of 3 strand splices which would help keep the rig looking classic. Also hope he opts for cream-color dyed soft-finsh sailcoth like Contender Oceanus. I suspect these decisons have already been made, and i look forward to seeing the rest of the rig come together
I was about to post something similar but you said it so well. The move to Port Townsend was the best thing that could have happened. It allowed Leo to connect to true professional shipwrights and their network of other trades people that took the project to the highest possible level; something he couldn't have achieved with inexperienced volunteers. As a result we viewers got to see skilled artisans at work and how million dollar yachts are made.
I am a fan for life. I was really moved by this video. I cannot wait to see what this channel becomes when she is sailing.
The tiny moment when everyone has left and Leo speaks to us alone in the boat, moved by the team's and his own performance, gives you goosebumps. The incredible wonder, the indescribable beauty of every single detail, can only be appreciated by those who have "lived through" all the episodes. What a life achievement at such a young age! My heartfelt congratulations to Leo and the lovely and gifted team!
Who knew, when I first watched the timber selection and the deconstruction of Tally Ho's old hull, just what we see now or indeed how long that would take. Every video preserves the memories of each step and I personally thank you, Leo, and crew, for sharing the trip with us. Watching the eventual launch of Tally Ho has been on my bucket list for some time now.
It looked like Leo turned a corner in his mind in this one. When it goes better than you hoped. How lovely.
Patrick building a liquor locker? Now there's a surprise! It is all so beautiful - hearty congrats to all!!!
The amount of craftsmanship is just unreal. A whole boatload full…
I swear that somebody was peeling onions right behind me while I watched this wonderful episode.
I dont know how you can say you never imagined it would turn out this nice.
You've done everything right, you selected the best products, spent unknown amount of hours designing and redesigning eveery aspect of this project.
Most of all, you've surrounded yourself with the best of the best in skilled craftsmen. The work they turn out is second to non.
It's a pleasure to watch this come together.
Hats off to you and your crew for an outstanding project and channel.
Job well done, Leo!
I'm not really into sailing or old wooden boats, but I have watched this project for years mainly for your wood working skills. The wood working has always been top draw and has gotten better over the years. You guys are really artists with wood.
I've been watching your progress from the beginning I'm a 77 year-old guitar playing booty myself I live on a 1928 mahogany Wonder in the California Bay area and all I can say about your boat is absolutely splendid
There’s something special about seeing a near complete saloon with upholstery and stain glass liquor locker. One can’t help but imagine the countless hours of socializing and camaraderie that area of Tally Ho will experience.
Leo's Little Locally-crafted Liquor Locker Light Looks Luxurious and Laudable. Great episode Leo!
I sure hope Tally Ho actually floats when she’s launched. This has got to be one of the most overbuilt vessels ever constructed. Seriously, the amount of top quality materials combined with amazing craftsmanship that has gone into the boat is astounding. I’m so glad I found this channel. It has given me hours upon hours of pleasure to watch over the past few years.
Ahhhh wait wait wait.
We are now seeing some pride-of-ownership coming in from Leo!
HA ha, that is so sweet. Two more years!
The boat looks great Leo. What a apiece of art.
And yes that upholstery is outstanding, people do not realize how difficult what Maya did is.
The lead glass, beautiful. Everyone could go on and on.
You are rebuilding a milestone in sailing history.
Such a lovely marriage of hi tech systems and traditional crafts! She’s going to be so cosy and inviting below decks.
When Paddy turned on the liquor locker (locquor?) light, my jaw dropped, and the only word my brain could put together was “gorgeous”. Well done Alice on creating it, and well done Tally Ho team on showcasing it!
Sometimes when I wait for a new episode of Tally Ho to come out and watch it, I happen to have a not so good day, but the very thought that moments will follow when I will quietly and with great joy look at the new achievements of the wonderful crew of Tally Ho calms me down and makes me feel relaxed. After watching today's episode and with every moment I saw how Tally Ho takes shape and shape in the details, simply, for no particular reason of course, I felt very proud of these wonderful achievements. Thank you guys!
I see a Coffee Table book being produced showing the history and stunning craftsmanship that has gone into Tally Ho's rebuild. You and your team deserve a lasting legacy. I for one would add it to my library!
I second that - moody close ups of all those joints, junctions, mirror finishes … the systems, rig … every nook and cranny is a masterpiece and deserves documenting in hardback … I’d buy it …
What an excellent idea! I’d buy a copy!
What a fantastic idea to create a coffee table book around the creation of the Tally Ho !
I surely hope there are some publishers that view, that have that in the works.
One of the things that I love so much about this project isn't talked about very often (and I think it should be). Tally Ho has been a real opportunity for a younger generation of not only viewers but a huge list of craftspeople to see the incredible artistry and craftsmanship of heritage boat building. I think about all of the younger folks from the foundry, to the sail makers, the boatbuilding school, upholsterers... floating around the backgrounds of the shots working with some incredible elders as they learn their craft. I think of Patty "kinda knowing some woodworking" (and so many others) when they joined the project who now have legit industry experience. Tally Ho and Leo's passion project has really served a valuable purpose. I like the idea that my family's donations here and there aren't just "building a boat for Leo". They are employing hundreds of people, many in a new generation, on an incredible project that the world gets to watch in a fairly new way. I hope Leo points out at some point the enormous ecosystem of people, many from a new generation, who have earned a living and gained rare experience on the project. It's the big reason I and other patrons I know have been so happy to support. My best to you all.
What a journey. The half rotten pile of old wood and the young guy with a head full enthusiasm, crazy ideas and little money. But now, this pilot cutter is turning into a gentlemans yacht. A masterpiece of craftsmanship and dedication.
This is your home Leo. As well as being an amazing, educational, entertaining, inspirational, collective work of art. This is your home. I’m glad you’re starting to see it take shape. I know you’ll be inspired to share it for years to come, but those little corners and finishings will be your every day for those years too. Enjoy! Absorb! Be proud :)
Every season for the last few years, I say my knees aren't up to the task of taking care of my old gaffer. Then I see Tally Ho, your work, and think, "dammit, I can take care of her for another year...." Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration.
It’s looking fantastic already Leo.
It’s fabulous to see it all coming together What a brilliant project to be involved with and thank you for the privilege of allowing us all to “take part” in it from afar.
Best wishes to you and your crew! 🎉
I think this is the first time we're really seeing a glimpse at the final product! Unbelievable that you've managed to bring together all these amazing people and make all this happen Leo. Tally Ho looks gorgeous!
The vision, the enthusiastic work ethic, the humour, the dedicated craft, has producded a beautiful sailing boat of exceptional quality, and a classic tutorial for the world to enjoy.
Well done Leo, and the fabulous team "Tally-Ho"
She is turning out beautifully. This boat is going to absolutely glorious. I look forward to the updates every week.
Wow, everything is really starting to come together nicely. I can imagine that you will spend many hours over the years sitting there just looking around, remembering all the memories made bringing this beauty back to life. You all should be very proud!
Having watched from early on (not quite the very beginning but very soon after), I guess the one lesson we all have learnt from Leo & Tally-Ho is that patience brings its own reward.
Projects like Tally-Ho are born from a dream and hope (inspite of the detractors) and survive due to perseverance, but above are completed due to patience.
I want to take a moment to thank you for the hours of pleasure watching you build this beautiful boat. I was lucky enough to find you on the second or third episode. Cheers!
Matt
This project is truly a wonder. The artisanship and talent of the people that have contributed to Tally Ho is absolutely mind-boggling.
I am forever in awe of the fine craftsmanship that has gone on to make Tally Ho the beautiful ship that she is.
When Patrick did the “liqueur locker light” sketch, l was giggling like an idiot and my wife looked at me wondering no doubt if l had finally lost it.
The combination of beautiful projects installed on Tally Ho is awesome. Doing so many reveals at once is a little hard for one to take it all in. Your regular crew and these special contributors working in concert is a tribute to your vision and drive towards launch day.
i literally laughed out loud when i heard, the liquor locker light, thank you for once again making the weekend ever more special
It still am in disbelief that this channel hasn't broken past 1M subscribers. I even got my mom on board with watching.
Big shout out to Mia the upholsterer!! As an upholsterer myself I know what a pain in the butt it is to get the pattern to flow through the adjoining cushion, great job!!!
Liquor Cabinet? Now you're talking. The stained glass panel and the backlight are gilding the lily a bit but, "Oh so worth it". Beautiful! Love the engine room tool chest as well. I can only imagine the pure joy of sailing Tally Ho in the future.
You and your team are doing an awesome job bringing Tally Ho back from the brink.
Just love watching the progress.
This boat is a showpiece! It’s the most beautiful ship I’ve ever seen. It showcases old world design and craftsmanship that would rival any period in world history.
Alice nailed it on the stained glass artwork, details are perfect. A wonderful gift to send Talley Ho off with from her NW reincarnation.
The dark green leather upholstery is also perfect in my opinion. Very British, traditional and my favorite boat accent color. My own boat is green with white sheer stripe and built in the UK.
Awesome job everyone! You have all put so much love into her.
Love how you have always given the wonderful artisans and craft folks an opportunity to show their crafts all throughout this project, no doubt they will be sought out to do more work because of it. Port Townsend boat builders and others must be a buzz because of what you are doing.
She is looking gorgeous.
I now have the feeling we are closer than two years till she is finished, which makes me happy and sad at the same time.
You know something is really special when the words fail. It just keeps getting better.
In one of the first episodes you pretend to walk over deck with a nice cocktail when the boat is finneched. It would be amazing to see you do that with the finished boat!
I started watching this channel by accident...just looking for how-to videos on dovetail jointing...and five years later here I am...still. Leo, you and your amazing crew have crafted an amazing boat. Thank you for sharing your journey. And btw-the Liquor Locker is awesome, the stained glass panel really sets it off.
Once again, I’m in awe!
Nothing nicer than to see capable people proud of making beautiful things. This boat is a testament to pride and professionalism in fine craftsmanship.
From a boat owner/builder and long-time follower in Hong Kong
Beautiful work beautiful Maya! The interior is getting 1000% beautiful details.(65,933 views in three hours, hi everyone!). I'm so gobsmacked seeing so much finished. I'm a Union and Hobby Carpenter so this has all been soul touching to watch. I also do stained glass so that part of this episode was an added bonus, I have been watching since the very first episode because frankly it was a sort of impossible train wreck in the beginning. I have tears in my eyes right now. As with some of my own projects there is going to be a happy-sadness when this comes to an end. I will see her in person I hope before I die as well, it will be like a pilgrim to Mecca for me. The viewers like me get so much out of watching Leo, more than you will ever know, Thank you and all the team, without contributions like yours this project would not be possible!
Glad to see I am not the only one who makes watching a new video a highlight of my weekend. Over 150,000 in only 8 hours show there are a lot of people that do the same
Moin Leo from Northern Germany!
When i'm looking in your face, i can see the satisfaction and joy of a man wich recognized that his dream comes true after an unbelievable long and hard work. I bow to such perseverance. For you and your team best of luck.
My wife loves it when i'm restoring our old farmhouse and looking fo a "Tally Ho fit" ;-)
15:30 - Leo is stoic AF. I'd be tearing up seeing everything cleaned up and the saloon cushions put in whether or not it's completely finished. This is the first time the boat looks like something you could live in.
I haven't missed many episodes of Tally Ho. and gets so happy when local artists get to participate. This will not be a dozen items
I remember the joy of the finished polished knees and couldn’t imaging the craftsmanship to continue so beautifully. So beautiful to watch the journey and such captivating narrative. Well done Leo and Team. 💖💖💖🇦🇺👋
well said the silicon bronz knee castings' being a marvel revelation for future fabricating workmanship delights to be hold
Leo, you and Tally Ho have become a National Treasure. Thank you for your resolve and tireless dedication.
Cabinet work is so beautiful. And complicated. I remember when the woodworking jobs on Tally Ho were simple like replacing entire keels.
Stain glass is something that’s absolutely beautiful. When my dad sold his house up in nj I was the one and the only one allowed to take it out. And drive it south. I was so scared in doing it. A chandelier decorated with Boats and a big piece that was also decorated with sail boats. Still to this day I am the only one that is allowed to clean them. They are older than you could imagine maybe 60 years old. Great job everyone can’t wait to see tally ho sailing
THIS BOAT IT SELF IS A WORK OF ART. WORKMANSHIP, 2ND TO NONE . RESPECT TO ALL WHO HAVE HELP BUILD TALLY HO.
This channel is the adult boat building version of Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Everyone is our friend everyone does amazing work and everyone is valued.
Won’t you be mine could you me mine won’t you be my sailor.
I've been watching since close to the first episode and I find that the videos are not as in depth as they used to be, but with so many moving parts, the build crew, and all the time to edit and produce videos, I totally understand that the content has morphed a bit. That being said, I appreciate this show more than any other as it's continued to be of the the highest quality in all aspects, even if the videos have changed a bit, and look forward to each new episode. Thank you Leo and ALL the collaborators. It takes a village.
So far I have watched all the jokes about the "saga" about the construction of this beautiful yacht. I am impressed by the professionalism and great commitment of everyone who has worked with you over the years. Often as volunteers and enthusiasts. Everyone working on this project and we watching it feel that a great thing is being created. Full of the spirit given to her by thousands of people who watch each episode with passion and by everyone who directly builds and supports the construction of Tally. Greetings from Poland and "fingers crossed" Good Luck.
Woodworking!
Finally a good video that shows so much of it ... The woodworking craftmanship on this whole boat is simply mind-bogglingly beautiful ... a Sustained Standing Ovation for Every Single Person, Group, or Company that has a hand in this ❤
I bet Albert Strange, himself, would have a smile if he could see what is being done with the Tally Ho. Just looks amazing, just amazing!
Mitered seat cushions……why am I even surprised??!!! That and Nick’s craftsmanship in creating the small cabinet in the head. Loved the way he secured / protected the back side of the mirror. Hats off to his attention to detail and skill.
Agree with all!
The craftsmanship is on a stellar level. Some day long in the future you’ll be sitting on that settee telling your grandkids about the build and how this boat won the big race several times.
I'm so happy to see my donations turn into this beautiful boat. Money well spent! Thank you Leo
Can’t believe how far Tally Ho has come from 3 years ago.
What an amazing rebirth of Tally Ho from the rotten hulk you transported from Oregon to a more luxurious yacht then she ever was in the best days of her past life.
Hi, Leo. It's an almost unimaginable and mostly miraculous transformation from the sad hulk that you bought for a $1.00. The cabin now looks like a gentlemen's club in Mayfair, rather than a wreck. I wish you, the crew, and Tally Ho! the very best of fortune, fair weather and prosperous cruising. That boat is going to draw crowds wherever you sail her.
I love the way the liquor locker light lights up the liquor locker and Patrick's reaction when he first turns on the light that lights up the liquor locker.
Anyone who sees Tally Ho will learn the meaning of craftmanship. Each of your team is a wizzard. I have been building things all my lifeand can hear your amazement at what the team has accomplished. I am excited for your adventures with this work of art called a boat. Well Done and congratulations on the fruition of a vision. I suspect you are almost as amazed at the results as we are. Your group has created a treasure.
It never stops amazing me how when people work together, such an awesome result takes place. Too bad people can't work together in this world to make it beautiful like Tally Ho. She certainly proves it can be done. Godspeed Tally Ho!
After watching the effort going into this boat you realize why people refer to her as a person. So much care and attention. It’s quite magical to see her come to life…
The sailing "piece of FINE FURNITURE" looks more amazing every week! I can't wait to see her at full sail!
If you are ever in need of a new project, there is a historical one in Boston. You and your wonderful artisans may have heard of her...the USS Constitution. She is a glimmer what she was, just like Tally Ho was. Tally Ho is like an old beautiful Steinway waiting to play beautiful music once again! You are Leo, a sailor, and a boat builder!
Just had to watch again!
I had the honor of helping retrofit one of the Pendragons, and worked extensively on a Farr 51', building a cabinet and sink out of specialized corrugated paperboard and carbon fiber. Even built a carbon fiber toilet for the head! All to save weight for that beauty, of course. But as proud as I am of that past work, I am even more excited to see the work you've done on Tally Ho. All of you are wonderful craftspersons, artisans, caring humans who really show the best of humanity through your work. That is SOOO inspiring!!
This video made me go from ‘i wouldn’t want to take this huge project on’ to ‘I’m jealous’
I can’t even imagine what the market value of the finished boat will be. The amount of time that has gone into the design and planning and the incredible amount of detail and skillful craftsmanship, it’s incredible.
Leo, I read a lot of the comments, the people you have touched on this build is absolutely incredible, cheers to you and the crew, the stunning liquer cabinet, looks like a Tiffany, well done indeed.
Tally Ho is looking so awesome and is a credit to ALL involved in the restoration ... I cant wait to see the "Below Deck" series and racing in the "Fastnet Race"
Tally Ho is looking more and more like a finished art piece (and boat ^^), following her evolution and the team working to get her in the water has been a huge and delectable journey, I cannot wait to keep seing you Leo, the team , Tally Ho and the community grow and share all of this endeavor together!
We'll see you next time, cheers!
Saltheart I’m sure you reflect from time to time. Go back to the first few videos. See where you started and where you are now. Amazing progress. A lot of good people. You, the crew, and the boat have gone through an epic metamorphosis. Goofy British guy with a wrecked boat and a video camera. This journey, just really starting, is so very special. Thank you for taking us along.
Leo, as a former cellist I am awed by the spilling over of orchestral talent displayed every week of this series. Speaking of strings, months ago I bumped into a stringed-instrument maker indicating a Tally-Ho connection, and was wondering if a cello player like me might be hearing more luthier -like moments about that. Thanks so much for all you are doing....
Watching you standing in that beautiful saloon area all I could think of was the first time you climbed into tally ho's empty hull with a head full of dreams of what she could become and watching you and the team bring those dreams to reality has been amazing Leo
