EPISODE 197
In this video we finally get to enjoy sailing Tally Ho after 7 years of work! We meet the whole crew - familiar faces, and a few new ones. We travel with a historic 1922 motor-yacht, we crash our drone in the woods, we make fresh pasta, and some of us say goodbye - for now.

Ep197
I'd also like to mention that on the very same evening I crashed the drone, I lost Leo's frisbee in brambles far too formidable for a rescue attempt to be feasible. Afterwords, I asked:
"Hey Leo, got anything else that flies?"
Lucky he hasn't got a spinnaker yet..😂
Hahaha😂
did he say
"YOU . . . are about to !" ?
🤣
I believe the technical term for what happened to the drone is "controlled flight into terrain". Sometimes accompanied by an "irrelevant final exclamation".
Thanks for all your efforts - best wishes... I was looking forward to an episode that included "Astronomy 101 (ft George)" from the deck of Tally Ho one evening ...?
Nick is gonna make me cry! The true testament of how good a team was built is how the team reacts when its time to say goodbye for now. Nick and George did awesome work and I've enjoyed watching them and the whole crew grow.
I ain't gonna lie. I cried a bit. What a crew and a life-changing experience.
Gonna miss those guys, made me cry when they said goodbye.
Thank you!
Dam I misted up along with Nick,
Nick DID make me cry!
Hands up who else shed a tear when the crew were leaving? 😢Tally looks so beautiful under full sail 😊
😢😭😭😭😭
Both hands up!!!
don`t be silly. shed a tear no no no. I`m a man, lol.
I got a little dust in my eye…not crying…honest.
@@briansaben5697 I wa trimming onions for dinner. Really... just onions.
Leo, please do a segment where you review all of the crew that worked on Tally Ho since the beginning. There were so many cool people that I’m sure I’ve since forgotten. They all deserve a small spotlight for working on this wonderful project.
I second this! A little where-are-they-now would be super cool to see
Aye!
Please, please do a potted "where are they now" vlog. There were so many characters along the way, some no longer with us. And more Pancho please.
I’m 80 years old and don’t have a sailing boat anymore. In the past I have sailed round the Fastnet Rock and to think that Tally Ho won the famous race nearly 100 years ago and has been lovingly restored by a great group of people led by Leo is evidence that anything is possible. Well done to you all !
I have watched them all as they posted. I am 73 now. I was 66 when I saw episode #3. I immediately subscribed, making a donation at every video, because I _knew_ Leo would get here. It was a ridiculous stupid idea to save this boat only because she was beautiful in her heyday, and won a famous race. Getting to the point was clearly impossible from what we saw in the first video. BUT... doing incredibly difficult things in order to create an object of beauty is the soul of humanity. So I signed on to watch, and to fund. Every time I see her sailing my throat closes up with emotion. Leo did it. Tally Ho lives again. Utterly beautiful under sail.
I’m 72 now same feeling. I can relate
I, too, have watched Tally Ho restored from the first episode. I'm 76, looking for my first sailboat. I learned to sail in Tampa Bay many years ago -- my maiden voyage took us out to the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson then to Key West and Hemingway's haunts (as a fiction writer, that was truly a treat) -- haven't sailed but once in 40 years (taught a struggling neophyte with a new daysailer the basics -- was still fun with a complete stranger). Now I'm looking for a small boat to teach my grandsons to sail (I may have to start with learning the first knot all over again . . .)! Tally Ho is not only a monument of historical heritage, but she is also a work of art.
I can’t say it any better than you did.
Us old farts (me 74) appreciate down in our soul what has transpired here since the beginning.
Yep! You said the truth there. I appreciate your donations that helped us all see it happen, well done.
I cried a little with Nick. Especially when he said to Leo "buy another boat and then call me".
if Leo wanted to replicate Tally Ho he would have people lining up to help him do it.
@@discombubulate2256 The spirit it was done was not hard work, it seemed a joy, drinking fine wine. I would leap at the chance if I could hehe! You're so right!
@@discombubulate2256 You don't need new people if the ones you have want to work and do everything great
Same here. I teared up a bit when I left the project after the 2nd framing party. I can only imagine how it feels for the departing build crew now who spent years on the project.
"Several years ago, I bought a Tortellini for the sum of $1.00" . . .
A totally awesome sailing ship with an outstanding crew !
My heart went out hearing Nick say goodbye. These people are not only top craftsmen and craftswomen but are beautiful individuals. To me, the secret of being a craftsman/woman, is the ability to put your heart 'all in' to the job, which these people did in spades. Nick, best wishes and hope to see you and the others again soon. You have to know how many lives and hearts you have touched. Thank you.
I would actually love to see a technical how-to video on how you sail a boat like this, from navigation, weather, hoisting the sails, using winches, tacking, gybing, which lines do what in the rig, etc. After watching all of this stuff get built it would be great to learn how it’s operated.
Yes, this!
I would love that too!
Nick, George & Erica - Thanks for everything - hope we see you again in the future!
Thank you!
@@anarcholeptic I didn't realise you have a channel! Fantastic - subscribed!
Patrick in his shades and hawaiian shirt 😊 Having candidly watched Patrick for these last few years on the Tally-Ho restoration, hand on heart, I think he's an absolute legend.
Patrick lifts the happiness of everyone around him!
I‘d love to meet him some day!
Totally agree!!
agreed, he's definitely the lad you want at the parties, an absolute scream, especially when he's dressed up and acting, i bet he's even funnier after a gin or three, we got to see that
@@patchmack4469Also let’s not forget that we watched him over the years blossom into a skilled woodworker and great all-around go-to guy.
I've been watching this channel since the very beginning 7 years ago. In these last seven years, this boat has been a constant in my life, and I've become used to keep track of time and the big moments of my life through the milestones of this restoration project. It's truly been a balm for the soul. Watching from Venice, i wonder what it would be like to sail across the lagoon on this beautiful boat. I hope someday to see it in person, in some port around the world, and maybe get the chance to say hi.
you and your team have made art, Leo.
From CapeTown South Africa.. have been absorbed and obsessed with Tallyho from the very 1st time i saw Leo climb all over her scarred and decaying soul. I could not envision this day. Shed a tear when the crew left for Port Townsend. The story of a lifetime... and i am not a sailor. Hope to see Tallyho in Cape Town!! Trazwaggon said it better than i ever could!!! Leo.. you are an exceptional human being!! Tallyho is fortunate to have found you.
I imagine the boat will see a huge turnout wherever she visits.
It has inspired people all over the world. Including myself. I volunteered with the team of older folks rebuilding independence at American River, Kangaroo Island (1803 gaff rig schooner) and they were all in awe of Tally Ho and her team.
Every shot of Tally Ho sailing just impresses me no end. The designer of that boat knew what he was doing. The builders of that boat knew what they were doing. The whole rebuilding crew definitely knew their stuff. What an absolute joy.
Especially loved the part where the thunderbird has cast off and Leo appears and says I just want to hug you all...again. I love that not only does the entire crew of the cast off boat immediately forsake their seamanship to pile off for a Leo-hug, but someone aboard the Argonaut thinks to grab a stay. You all make a lovely team.
Seeing Nicks’s emotion really just summed up the love and joy that has filled this project. Keep those two attributes in your videos. It’s what we need more of in this world at the moment.
Agreed, this channel is as much about the people as it is the boat. Familiar faces may leave, new may arrive. So long as it continues to be a story about a boat bringing people together it will be different from every other boat channel out there.
After all this time, we went from a shell to a boat in a very short time. It feels like yesterday when Zeal was still caulking the deck. I really want to see you take Tally Ho back home to England the long way around.
Yeah it went from a hull into a fully crafted boat in a very short space of time surprisingly
I think it was only about two years, or thereabouts…..😉
Nay, less than a shell. A long forgotten memory. A whisper. What the crew and Leo did was... nothing short of amazing.
@@robm.4512 I know, time fly's
I realise it will be a long time coming but I think you once said you’d head back to Tally Ho’s home port (Shoreham, Sussex UK )one day ? I grew up there & would love to see you arrive. If you need fresh crew I could also be quite handy as I spent many years in the Sea Scouts around those waters ! Impressive I know , Just saying.
One possible suggestion, do a video collage of all the crew that worked on the project past and present, kind of a wrap up of everyone who's blood, sweat, and tears went into this project and made it possible. That would be fun I think
Indeed. I think that would be very respectful and a big thank you. They certainly deserve the recognition. 😄
I totally agree there were alot others from day one
Another series could be spun off of all the jigs and how to ... as an educational package for new wanabe wood workers.
Me, female 76 and sailing some 40-50 years ago on the Waddenzee (the Netherlands/Germany) on a old wooden fishing ship, was sometimes nearly in tears because of Tally Ho and the reviving past. I enjoyed all those films and wish Leo many beautiful trips.
Tally Ho is wonderful. But the Tally Ho phenomenon is even more wonderful.
GREAT Talent left the boat. Feel proud, you didn't just rebuild a boat, you built a piece of art.
If you want video ideas, I've really enjoyed all of the hand illustrated tutorials and explanations that this channel has had over the years. It's always fun seeing more of them!
I hope these artisans that worked on your project are given the opportunity to make a living doing the same to the same high standards on other projects
This should be the most liked comment.
And a piece of History!
You also built a piece of peace, what the world should be like. Best of luck to all the beautiful crew in all their endeavours. I hope hope I see you all again, even a commercial!😂xx
When Leo was deconstructioning Tally Ho, it was hard to imagine this day .but here we are , it's a beautiful sight ..😅
Leo, you've rebuilt a classic boat, and built some incredible and lasting friendships. Let Tally Ho spread her magical aura across the seas.
Hi Leo,
I am in New Zealand and there was an old gentleman living on a boat in Whangaroa Harbour Northland. He was English and his name was Charles William Strange. B 27/5/1926 D11/7/2021. A devoted boatie who I suspect was Albert Strange's son. Love your work on Tally Ho. Enjoy her now she is sailing again. Look forward to you getting downunder, we will make you most welcome. Regards Bob
I got hooked from the first time I watched a Tally Ho video maybe 6 month in the project and binged back from episode one.What surprised me all along is Leo ability to attract or choose such amazing and fun crews. With the craftsmanship part over I though it would be nice to revisit all those who worked on Tally Ho.
Also did I missed the Tally Ho inside (and outside ) back and forth walking tour or is it to come or should it be left to the imagination to reconstruct based on the many picture we saw last week. No mater what, all this is art and history in the making.
Tally Ho has changed many lives and created a precious bond among those who've played a part, greater or smaller, in this project. Well done to an outstanding crew.
7 years and 197 episodes. Now that we are sailing, I think that I will go back and binge-watch them all over again! The building of Tally Ho is epic. Leo, you deserve a lot of credit for all of the effort you expended bringing this project to fruition. The videos are ALL masterfully done and extremely educational and interesting. Thank you for the entertainment value. You are truly a legend and an inspiration.
This old bloke in Qld Australia at 5 am has tears , its just so lovely watching this ,its the perfect beginning of the the end .Ive watched it from the start .. So thank you Leo its been amazing .. fare winds
You and me both mate. Cheers from the Granite Belt. 🥶
Make that three.
SE QLD here.....🥶
@@petert3355 SW NSW here, brrrrrr.
Also here from the Darling Downs QLD, The most beautiful boat I have ever seen
Brisbane viewer here. How about a trip to the colony Leo?
As my wife and I discussed, humanity has such immense potential. Leo and his team have accomplished a herculean feat, resurrecting an artifact of historic artistry and craftsmanship. It's truly an inspiring journey of epic proportions to see this boat transform from a decaying hulk to an utterly beautiful and functional sailing work of art. I literally teared up when I saw her sail for the first time. The closing shot of this video, with Tally Ho under full sail, was breathtaking.
I started watching after James Wright (Wood by Wright) made a mallet from a scrap piece of wood from Tally Ho and quickly binged all the previous episodes. Leo, you have inspired a generation of young people and helped me overcome my hesitation and the block keeping me from enjoying traditional hand tool woodworking. I am now back in the shop, making beautiful and functional things again.
Thank you, Leo, and fair winds and clear skies to you and your crew!
14:27 Top notch shot! Pure bliss for land locked person like me. 👁️👁️👌🤓😍
I’m sad I can only give this one thumbs up. Congratulations to Leo and all of the amazing craftspeople who worked in the amazing Tally Ho.
I agree with the "only one thumbs up". This is one of those videos I would love to give a lot more.
Watching Nick's goodbye, and your comments after made me think that a really great video would be a 'best bits' compilation that included at least one scene with everyone who has been involved from day 1. That would be an awesome tribute to the boat as she makes her first steps into the wider world
Seconded.
Yeah I was thinking the same... a "Faces of Tally Ho" type synopsis episode. If you go hunting for footage I know it's a TON of work to make one. But one day!
All in favor?!
Signify by the saying “AYE!”
AYE!
Aye!
I like this idea
George, i bet alot of us would watch that bike rebuild, if you feel like making videos, so sad to see you leave tally ho for now.
Just to say I absolutely love the hand drawn route and highlights of locations with inset footage. Makes it really enjoyable to know exactly where you are passing through and what you are seeing. That narrow pass with the cliff and sandbank is nuts!!
When they rescued that drone it reminded me of Master and Commander as the doctor is collecting exotic species and see the enemy ship lying at bay. :)
Now we just need a little Boccherini in the main salon:

I too have been following this project since the very first video I'm 60 years old and I feel like I know every one of them and I cried when I watched them leave. And I love the evolution and the format Leo, sale her around the world and we will all come with you.
It’s getting so exciting and I can’t wait until you cross the pond and all of us in UK can see this fabulous example of boating excellence in person
I am 81 years old and I feel like every crew member is also MY old friend. I now realize that Leo didn’t just restore a boat he created a family. I am proud to be part of this family. Yes, Leo, take me on your many sailing adventures.
a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat too as the few left to return to Port Townsend, i wish them luck, and a safe return sometime, i think we all feel the same, we have all grown to love these people who sadly know nothing of us apart from our few shared thoughts, but i really hope, if ever you are sailing which ever way, east or west in the English Channel, you will pop by so some of us can give you all a huge hug for your building delights and fine entertainment - the long journey begins
@@patchmack4469 I'm just giving your comment a bigger thumbs up because the real one is too small :)
@@musicbro8225 bless ya
I've been following this project for years and am so pleased to see her sailing again.
Tally-ho!
The magic of the TH build is the folks who worked on her. Leo did not shelter them, allowed them to be themselves, and was so open to making them part of this historic build. Thanks Leo
My mum was addicted to small boat sailing and went sailing on the morning of her wedding - even going down the aisle with river mud on her feet! She would have instantly understood why Leo had to rescue Tally Ho and much as I've enjoyed watching Tally Ho come back to life, I've almost watched the reconstruction on her behalf, it sounds odd writing it down or saying but watching the love and commitment in the videos has given me a warm fuzzy feeling, a similar warm fuzzy feeling that I get when thinking about my mum, so thank you to Leo and your whole team for helping to make the world a better place.
guys, you are living a dream. keep filming it. tell me if you need something, a couple of bucks will always be there for you... and for the dream :) cheers from berlin
Nick was one of my favorite actors on the BBSea series! Amazing team!
I hope we keep them as a sponsor! Good commercials!
What I'd love to see more of is simply the boat in operation, and any quirks and strengths and weaknesses you've discovered that it has as a sailboat, notes for future modifications, how it behaves on minimal versus a large crew. Stuff like that. But also all the sights of this lovely PNW part of the world we live in...when it's not raining.
I agree. Please continue with the technical side of sailing Tally Ho, along with her new surroundings.
I loved the "live oak" guy. I would like to see the places you go AND the personalities you encounter.
I second that. Love to hear more details on the rigging and how it all works. How’s the handling and does the rudder trim work well.
Thank you Nick George and Erica, you are incredibly gifted craftsman and it’s been a privilege watching you use your talented hands help restore the Tally-Ho,
And also a huge thank you to the remaining crew and amazingly talented people ! Leo… You have given me many years of excellent viewing pleasure watching you so expertly restore this beautiful sailing vessel, 😢 I’m still really going to miss everyone but I’m not sure I’ll ever get over the loss in my heart losing the “Duchess of Desire” 💔
This video reminds me of my own sailing days, now rather long past. I drink to my old shipmates.
It has been a fabulous movie from the
Beginning. And had the great characters and Director 👍❤️
I can't wait to see Tally and Leo sailing in the Fastnet!
I've been hypnotised by this project for the last seven years. Words fail me. I think they fail everyone.
The story of a man who built an amazing team that built an amazing boat.
If this episode is any indication of whats to come, Ill be here every episode like always.
She's so beautiful when she’s got all her sails up and she's under way
Wasn't expecting Nick to be the one to break (I was already broken), thanks for keeping it in.
A lot of me never wanted the build to end selfeshly, but one thing i have looked forward to very much is Mr. Roy Childs being able to see this boat again. I hope the man is still around and that he will see her soon.
Watching this footage of her on a reach and imagining the rigging hum as she’s perfectly trimmed-out. For a sailor, that’s all the dopamine you need. ❤❤ THIS is what it was all about.
Indeed, that was a beautiful sight. Wouldn’t you loved to have had your hand on the tiller?
@@BronsonDorsey a guy can dream. I wonder what her weather helm is like…
Bon Voyage Tally Ho! It's been an epic adventure - can't wait to see what the next chapter brings!
Never been on a sail boat so a video showing all the steps it takes to get sailing from stepping out on deck (a time lapse with time stamps?) would be super interesting.
Just gorgeous seeing Tally Ho under full sail. You should produce a print with the oldest picture of her you can along side a picture of her now, I know I’d love to hang one in my home ( and a smaller print aboard my boat).
I'd buy one!
As soon as Tally Ho comes to England im making the trip to come and see this beautiful boat with my own eyes ❤
The benefit of such a famous ship, is you will have no end of 3rd party video.
Such a gorgeous boat Leo, built with passion, love and the best craftsmanship.
Absolutely stunning. Everyone who has a hand in her rebirth should be rightly proud of what you have accomplished.
I cry because its the close of a chapter. But I cry too because its the beginning of a new chapter for each and every member of the rebuild crew. Good things are coming for everyone! What started out as one channel & one subscription, will blossom into many artisans with channels & projects of their own! I cant wait to see what's next for each of them!
I think a great format might be to include some seamanship pointers. How things are done properly. Technical stuff too. People are drawn to your channel for the educational value you bring. Keep bringing educational stuff. There are plenty of travel channels. VERY few classic sailing yachts similar to Tally Ho.
What a massive, massive treat to watch Tally Ho & crew at sea. I know there are wonderful places to sail around the world and Tally Ho is starting out in one of the best.
Hello Leo, I’ve been reading all the comments. Around the world it seems there are many have become very emotionally attached to “ Tally Ho” over the years. I’m yet another one of them.
Apart from seeing you drop anchor in Britain, I would love to see a photo montage of all the people who have physically worked to build “ Tally Ho” and where are they now. ( when you’ve got five minutes )
How can so many great people converge on such a project? If only the world had more of this
I love this project I'm so happy to see you guys get to sail the boat. I also want to thank you for how your videos make people feel like they are part of the project. I personally feel a big connection to this project it has been the only program I watch on the Internet. And I hope in the future you make some videos of sailing tutorials and maintenance on a wooden boat, and share your adventures, but more importantly enjoy sailing this wonderful boat and don't worry about the Internet people just keep sailing.
After 30 years I still remember Carrie Rose’s first cruise. Something to be cherished! How fast is Tally Ho??????
3:55 "This has been my life for two years!" LOL
Still feels unreal to see it sailing. After all these very long two years!
It's taken him 6 years.
@@AnyoneCanSeeIt has been, in fact, Seven Years since Leo posted his first Tally Ho video, there, on the hard, in a field in Oregon, where he laid eyes on her for the first time. June 2017 😮
@@AnyoneCanSee The poster knows that, and was just making fun of Leo's response of "2 years" whenever asked how long it was going to take.
@@rickojames - Oh, I should have picked up on that as I've watched every episode. Whoops.
@@christophernoto - Yes, you are correct. I started watching during lockdown in 2020 and binge-watched every episode. I was just going off the fact that the first episode in which he starts working on the boat is listed as 6 years ago. The pace really picked up in the boatyard. It turned out to be a good thing in the end.
21:28 The best valediction....
"Buy another boat. And then call me"
:)
Well now Leo, we have all been waiting to see Tally Ho revisit the ever so exciting waters of which Tally Ho was made for. She looks so spectacular under full sail and with the companionship of such a dedicated and focused crew I’m sure ya all will continue to provide us with ever lasting excitement and the pure joy of watching your one of a kind sailing vessel perform and supply us all with sites we could never see anywhere else. I have been watching your restoration since day one and to fathom what you have accomplished, one must stop and review the whole process periodically.Leo, there are so many people in the world whom have watched and observed you that I’m sure, as I do, that we would love to step into your shoes for just an hour to feel what you have to be feeling. You are a smart and very intelligent person so I’m sure you know exactly what I’m saying. People on our earth dream and strive for that inner soul feeling and by watching and observing your humble self throughout the years, i am quite confident that you feel this, God knows you deserve it. Thanks so much for taking us on your 7 year trip and allowing us to feel and experience at least ,some of those life changing sensations. Cheers.
From Jim Young, Halifax Nova Scotia
I hope some of the crew that helped in Squim will get to sail her this season!
When Leo said " I'd like to give you all another hug", you could feel his heartfelt emotions and thanks for everyone's work on Tally Ho. Cheers
To any teenagers and younger folk who may be reading this comment, when I was about 15 my dad said to me to try and get to crew on board the tall ships … he said it would be one of the best things that O could have done with my young life… I’m now 58 and I never did do it… I always though there would be time…and the truth is, time will pass you by before you know so don’t waste a moment, even if you are too young to go away to sea, get yourself sailing with school or a sailing club if you live near the sea or even on an inland stretch of water. Just do it you only have to see these adventures of all these beautiful young people in this series and see the bond that exists between them, they are all friends for life and you couldn’t have a better start to life. Even if you only try it for a few months I’m sure you will feel the reward.
It is a young persons per suit and once you miss the opportunity, it’s gone. Don’t be like me with regrets, live your life whilst you are young and settle down later on in life you will be more settled and understand the important things in life. ❤
Well said!
We're all sailors buffplums, just a different medium is all. You sailed in your mind. Just like me wanting to fly like my uncle did, but never did. It made me think like a flyer and I knew how it would feel, because I had done it so often in my mind. Thanks for your wisdom friend.
The Argonaut 2 is a good watch too 👍
I made the error watching this morning really hungry! Very good channel.
@@moebeddah2288Mid-afternoon here. Time for a snack!
I love the way you show, an old style sailing on traditional boat, i wish that i will be to do the same as you do. Wish you all the best from Poland
7 years ago I was following the exploits, with a friend, of a beautiful 60' 1928 Alden Schooner Boat which had sailed with the "Hooligan Navy" in WWII, doing search and rescue work and U-Boat hunting. Alas she was commandeered by pirates after the war and was sailed hard and put up wet for over 30 years then run aground in South America, refloated somehow and then tied up at the dock and used as a condo in Florida and now Hawaii. The owners of this boat said they wanted to refit, and sail back to Port Townsend and we were excited. This is when I found Leo and Tally Ho and began fantasizing that "our boat named Tradition" would follow a similar path. Not to happen, she's with the mold and the cormorants now. Leo has done something that not many could have accomplished and the incredible videographer that he has become shines brightly. I love the way he cerographs his music with the movements in the videos, he has quite the ear for music. If ever there was a "Yar" boat, Tally Ho was and is today.
I’m a retired tugboat captain and spent 25 years working tugs. But I’ve never been sailing and know nothing about it. The prospects ahead of this crew are now, are going to be a wonderful and well earned adventure.
“Buy another boat… and call me”
Man that about made me shed a tear. I hope you guys get to work on another project together soon!
Maybe a whole new boat is a bit much, but it would be nice if the new format has a fair bit of boatbuilding. After all this youtuber claims to be a boatbuilder and a sailor. There must be boat builder colabs and boat worthy of some quality effort
@wimmooij1236 claims to be a boat builder? Apparently you missed a years long series and are just commenting to comment.
Loved the chart “zoom” montages.
Fair winds tally ho!
I'm from mount pleasant washington dc, and seeing Bob wear the "whats more punk than the public library" shirt aboard Tally Ho is more than I could ever ask for! Safe travels!
I would love to see Leo and crew tackle building an old sailing ship from scratch. Like the Mayflower!! That would be amazing. Years of footage to watch. Ship building seems to be a lost art. Leo managed to capture something that has engaged a lot of people’s interest.
Watching in a parking lot in Yakima. The way you did the maps was really slick, keep it up. Fair winds Tally Ho!
To All who contributed to the success of bringing TALLY HO back to sea. THANK YOU ALL, LEO keep on keeping on.
Tally Ho under full sail wow what a beautiful sight.
I remember as a very small boy crossing to the Isle of White on a ferry (approx 1968) watching a race in Cowes week that was full of boats all with similar rigs to TH. I thought then it was amazing and knew it would be a memory I had to save. Not often but sometimes a few old cutters can be found scuttling up past the needles bound who knows where.
Seeing TH just brings it all back, happy days in the Solent messing about in boats.
Loved the build series and really looking forward to the adventures.
Take care be safe and have fun.
That screaming beam reach looked like about ten knots, for sure.
@ 14:27 Tally Ho looks absolutely GLORIOUS dressed in her full suit of sails! She looks like she is quite nimble as you sailed her right up to the dock under sail . It almost looked like sailing a dingy ( although I know this is most likely not the case but you seasoned crew made it look that easy) . I’m sure that I am not alone in thinking that your builders crew really deserved this cruise. They have accomplished sooo much on this beauty of a vessel. Congrats tou you all and fair winds. BTW welcome to Canada. 🇨🇦
Tally Ho sailing is a testament to what can be achieved with vision, determination a lot of hard work and friendships. Absolutely inspiring achievement.
Loving the paper maps, especially the 'zoom in' technique!
Port Townsend seems to have an amazing selection of people in its midst. Tally Ho brought them together from near and far. They have an amazing project to put on their CV's. I wish I were 30 years younger, and could start a shipwrights apprenticeship.
With all sails set Tally Ho has a commanding presence. It would be hard to find another yacht that immediately combines beauty with fast seaworthiness. What a grand beginning.
My wife and I lived in Friday Harbor for 30 years. We built our Cape George 31, Laurel, there and sailed the bottom paint off of her every weekend! Also took 5 months off to cruise to Glacier Bay and back. But we never got to Haida Gwaii or the west coast of Vancouver Island. I am very interested to see them through your eyes. ❤️
Dude! Every freaking time now! Stop making us cry! Thank you Nick, George, and Erika. See you soon!

It's easy, Show us your adventures, and the ups and downs. Show us when something breaks, and then show us how you go about fixing it. Show the sailing, and the wildlife, the beaches and the people your going to meet. What it comes down to is sharing the stories of your lives. Tally Ho is just a pivotal character in a book about your life with many chapters and adventures to yet to be written.
Have been watching from Newcastle Australia since Tally Ho was in Skwim and the keel was being built out of purple heart. An amazing journey. Ideas for the new format, show us how the navigation works and how to plot, maybe even explain how to read a marine map. Take care and keep up the great work.
Very cool. I'd like to see an explanation of how all the rigging works. All of those ropes all over the place are bonkers and I can't believe anyone even knows what they all do!!!!!
Just been back looking at old videos of the people who worked in the frame raising parties. Please can you invite them back to sail on Tally Ho and get their perspective of what they learnt and how that has affected their lives. After all, those guys did the work for free, whereas the build crew of the last 2 years were all paid. Respect to those early volunteers that were learning "on the job"!
Finn, who worked on all of the framing parties has his own boat building channel, well worth following: KnotFINNishedYet
Kind of curious to see what Pete's been up to.
@@MartialLoreNZ Great channel - and currently at about 20K views per video - he would gain by a bit of exposure on this channel. Anyway it owuld be good for us to see him and all the others reactions to seeing Tally Ho now that it has had the final touches, rather than the rough state they last saw it. Also to hear how they have gained from that experience.
Would love to see not only a boat tour now that's it's "lived in" but also a systems tour, how things are working, not working, thoughts on upgrades or tweaks.
It’s amazing to think we’ve seen this boat rebuilt from literally the keel up and now we’re seeing it sailing around ❤
Epic situation.
Much luck to all
Leo for president!!!!!
After the Folkboat and Tally Ho!, Happy to watch whatever video you make. If no one else has told you , you are a remarkably good film maker. (uk resident with several film maker mates)
It just amazing to have experienced this build over the lat 6-7 yrs. The crew you who worked deserve so much appreciation. Leo, you are blessed to have have these people with you then and now afloat. ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!
