Tally Ho’s remarkable new sailing dinghy (EP136)
PT11 Info & purchase - ptwatercraft.com/ptwatercraft/PT11Home.html
More video of the PT11 in action - ruclips.net/video/BsWtDD_pl6o/видео.html
Can they create nested middle sections to give you 3 lengths of dingy in seconds. Brilliant design.
PT11 website still working?? Woud have bet, the increased traffic from this video would crash it :)
Great design! Love it. Glad that others are interested in wood epoxy boat building as well!
I live in Missouri but some how feel myself needing one of these now 😂
Cool concept, two piece boat.
You should make ur own that will fit on too Tally Ho like is a part of it.
Possibly the most impressive thing about it is that the PT 11 looks completely seamless on video when it is assembled. The craftsmanship is clearly apparent there!
I was looking for the joint too. Couldn't see it.
The dinghy should be named "Tally Row"
Rally tow
Seconded.
When Tally Ho is launched, it will likely be the most loved boat in the ocean. Everything about it will be nearly perfect and loved by hundreds of thousands of people. So awesome.
I will make an effort to be there!
Also the most expensive, that launch along costs 10 - 20 times as much as a decent inflatable.

That may be true but the "value" is not "comparable"!! Kinda like comparing the "MonaLisa" with a Red Skelton Clown paintings. Both are "paintings" but one is a "masterpiece"! Also like driving into a service station with a Rolls Royce and filling the tank with the "low price" fuel!! The Tally Ho, Stem to Stern, represents a labor of love --- and--- NOTHING BUT THE BEST, with no compromises. Throughout this process/build, Leo has considered cost "among" many other considerations when making his decisions.
A true boat of the people! Best wishes too Leo and the crew!
Casey you are JUST SO ON THE MONEY!!!!
Of all the aspects of this project, the one that seems not to get enough praise is Leo’s skill as a storyteller. It’s not just that he takes lovely videos of beautiful and interesting bits of a beautiful and interesting boat, it’s also that he weaves all of that into compelling story that would work even if it was all told in prose alone.
Hear, hear!
I concur.
we in Norway agreeing.
That dingy is such a fantastic piece of art and utilization! Love it!
Jack agreed Marty Australia
That is a really slick design. It's clear he put a lot of work and consideration into it. It will be an excellent addition to Tally Ho. Love how you continue to support local shipbuilders and businesses in your efforts. Makes you a good neighbor and a good human being. Thanks for sharing!
No, young people say it is a sick design. Slick is a 17th century problem. Are you too old, maybe?
I built a PT 11 and absolutely love it. Its a fantastic dinghy and an absolute joy to sail or row. I had it for about 6 years and the design effort Russel has made to make the dinghy robust has really paid off. Congrats Leo. You have a truly fantastic dinghy for Tally Ho.
Hats off to the painters of Kintore, what a lovely boat. It just seemed so.. "homey"... Absolutely lovely.
I love that you chose a Russel Brown design. He is a great designer and excellent human. And the fact that a little bit of Port Townsend will be on deck is fitting and sweet.
I met Russel in the Pacific when he was sailing his proa and remember his fantastic tender, he's a great guy. If he reads this then hi from Jim on Atlas.
Russel, a progeny of the great multihull triumvirate - Jim Brown, John Marples and Dick Newick. An honour indeed to sail, let alone own, one of his boats
That dingy is a work of genius, and one of the most beautiful pieces of practical art I've seen. The perfect combination of form, function and amazing good looks.
This tender is a piece of art!
Amen to that. Glad you hear he's selling kits because they're worth every bit of the purchase price.
Cost is 3800-7k ish depending on options and requires assembly. Great tender though!
Leo, I love the fact that you introduce the local talented individuals that have been involved in facets of the re-build of Tally Ho, and other boats in Port Townsend. Besides highlighting Tally Ho you put a spotlight on some exceptional people and are a true ambassador for the Port. All that and another great video! Thanks Leo!
I hope someone is keeping a list of all the extremely interesting people Leo has met on this journey so far! It's really becoming a treasure trove of wisdom and experiences.
I think Leo also has a beautfiul way of connecting to people's interests and talents and letting them shine.
Remember that guy he bought the live oak from?
@@creageous He was truly remarkable. Especially the poem at the end was beautiful.
@@oldwillie313 maybe that’s who went camping with him when he was test riding the dinghy LOL maybe test rode more than a dingy Lol
Being an ex dingy sailor I was amazed at how stable the tender dingy was . OK so Leo is no beginner when it comes to handling a sailing dingy. Priceless advert for the Hands on designer . true professionals are usually modest .
Port Townsend is now on my list of places to visit in America. Thank you Leo, I probably would not have known about such a gem of a town otherwise.
Thank you Leo so much for highlighting Port Townsend and the people that make it so. What a cool energy.
It's been bought out by the snooty PhD's from California. Trash, to be honest.
North Olympic Peninsula is my favorite place in America. The area is definitely a gem. I spent 10 years in Port Angeles, close to Sequim. Port Townsend was too expensive for me to live there, but I would in a heartbeat if I could afford it. Regularly went there for the ferry..
The PT11 is so clean and simple in it's design. As a machinist, those "simple" designs require a LOT of thought to execute. Very nice and I'm quite sure you will be happy ( maybe even overjoyed) with your PT11
I am not exaggerating when I say that the engineering excellence, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that went into the design and construction of the PT11 brought a tear to my eye. Truly inspiring.
But is it worth $10,000 to you?
It's absolutely gorgeous. No two ways about it.
@@RemedialRob if I had 10k, I'd buy one.
10K? With all the add-one it comes to $6607 as the DIY kit. That’s a very reasonable price for the thought and engineering that’s gone into this dinghy.
@@aaronanderson8491 I was factoring in about $3k in labor to build it myself plus tax and shipping. And I was being generous. I's probably more like $10,500.
The dude building the PT11 is full of stories, information, and life. Could have a whole show around him, certainly.
I wonder what year he worked on for the America's cup. I'm from NZ so it's a familiar race for us down here.
Your ultra high standards DEMAND using the PT11. And you handled it like a champ, and thanks to Russel for lending one to you to test fully. It's a great choice, Leo!
When I read the title of this video, the only reason I started watching it was that Leo started talking with the usual child like enthuasiam that I have become accustomed to hear him talking about the Tally Ho. To my amaizement, I watched the whole video with not a moment of boredem. I was absolutey fascinated by Leo's find of Russel Bown's PT 11- what a beautiful and practical boat! Off to watch the video again :)
You were so genuinely chuffed when the tender fit on deck. That's awesome! It's such a great tender
I have a PT11. It is all the video portrays and more. It rows faster than walking pace and goes upwind like rocket. it is the best!
So enormously wholesome to find the perfect solution to the dingy problem just a few kilometers away.
👏🏼🎉
And what a solution it is, that dingy is gorgeous both esthetically and functionally!
Such an amazing story and privalege to watch this all take shape. Its also comforting to know there are people out there in the world with as much skill as Leo who still haven't changed their $35 pickup bed handle.
I`d add a notch or rowlock on the transom so you could skull, for instance when you had to carry long or bulky items that prevent rowing.
I think Russell has done an excellent job with the PT !
A dedicated sculling oar and a boat hook .. ...
hmm an adapter so you could merge the rudder with a mast half....
This has been a wonderful video and I’ve enjoyed every minute of your production. When I heard the name Russell Brown I was wondering if that was Jim’s son , and when he first came on all doubt was removed.
He came by his skills in a way that only a few people have ever been fortunate enough to experience. His background is most impressive and that along with his humility is always refreshing to see in a true craftsman and seaman.
Best of luck with your amazing project, it is truly a work of art.
Cheers
Outstanding episode Leo. Such a treat to go so in depth on the topic. Can't blame you for wanting a completed boat - another 200 hours making a PT-11 will only delay your departure. Well done.
I can honestly say, seeing you sail that dingy was the first time I have ever had the desire to try sailing. Which is crazy seeing how I was in the navy lol. It looks so fun and peaceful.
Do it! Sailing is divine. So many ways to sail as well....from super chill to extreme....and everything in between.
The thing i love the most about Leo and this channel: every decision is driven by a sound mind, anchored in logic. That original tender would've been lovely to see built, but it does not suit what Tally Ho is now.
Well, every decision except starting the project in the first place.
Let's be real, anyone with a sound mind and thinking logically would run screaming the other way when seeing just how much work and expenses are involved in restoring Tally Ho.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that I'm glad Leo is an emotional fool on occasion!
@@BraindeadCRY
Not at all being combative, I would agree with your first and last sentence but would COMPLETELY disagree with your second sentence. I believe that I am one of many (like Leo) who do not "run screaming the other way" when faced with a challenge that involves lots of work if I can figure out a way to accommodate the cost.
I also believe people who think like you have never experienced the total and complete "satisfaction" that comes from creating something as "elegant" and iconic as the Tally Ho!!
@@BraindeadCRY Unless of course you also happen to be an excellent videographer and editor with a vision for an outstanding RUclips channel.
@@pappabob29 I was (Id hoped rather obviously) being jokingly sarcastic. Leo being willing to invest his time and his savings into a passion project clearly was an emotional decision and we all love him for it.
I hope the build one and use it as a tender they keep at the dock or on shore.
I must say, Leo, I envy the wonderful people you get to meet. Thank you for sharing them with us.
What a cool little boat. I bet PT Watercraft is about to get a lot more orders for that PT-11
I am blown away by the PT11. The skill and intelligence that has gone into the design and engineering of that is quite simply astonishing. I agree when Leo said that Russell was being very modest about it as it's utterly brilliant.
As for the price - considering what you're getting, it's really not that bad. It'll fit pretty much anywhere.
Not only is the boat AMAZING, Russel and his spouse answer the phone and they are amazingly helpful people.
Your happiness with that little boat is so infectious! This was a great episode.
That PT11 is a beautiful work of art. The level of craftsmanship fits well with the level of Tally Ho's.
when they took it apart then nested it..NICE
That's a really fabulous little tender! It's a very clever idea 🙂
Once again I plead with those in the field of public education to consider using these videos as materials for teaching, in schools, what life can provide . Leo continually demonstrates the joy possible by engaging with reality in a rational manner. Whether the task is minor or major, Leo shows his engagement. There is no competition, no winner/losers, just action. His skill does not demean those w/o skill. He is entirely genuine.
Leo seems to be wearing no bouyancy vest so I would not use this for teaching in schools
@@nilse7793 You want a crash helmet as well? Teach kids how to swim and how to sail. Active safety. Far better than simply parroting passive safety. Leo has video of offshore sailing wearing an inflatable safety device.
Hear Hear
@@wisedupearly3998 falling off sailboats can kill even good swimmerd because conditions can prevent recovery for a long time if not rendered impossible. Your comment tells me you are not someone I would sail with because you don't seem to understand the risks
There is often a decent chance that the man overboard sustained injury getting tossed because it's not so easy to get thrown out of a contained cockpick without some trauma and even a bump on the head that wouldn't even knock you out could make treading water impossible in your clothes and. Many a former sailor have went in never to surface once because of it
I highly recommend a boating safety course that includes offshore safety and survival as you definitely need it if you plan on cruising...but CanonCanon, we know your just a troll
@@norml.hugh-mann Sorry, I would definitely go sailing with Leo rather than you. 😁
As always, I really enjoyed the segment. It was terrific to see the creativity in the dinghy design and your support of other boat builders.
Wow. A boat builder that can row correctly. Nice choice.
Really fun video. I love the way you support the locals and celebrate high end craftsmanship!
Thanks. I made similar boat 50yrs ago, but your is much, much better. I wonder that this one can sail without fin very well. Rudder substitutes fin, super idea!
For a second there I thought you were going to use a bicycle as a dingy, then realized you were just featuring the fish delivery hottie. 🤣
What a genius design. So simple, classic and modern all at the same time. Best in class!
Kintore is a village in Aberdeenshire near where I live! 🏴🏴🏴 The dinghy looks really lovely and the one shown is beautifully built.
I don’t know how to sail. I’ll never own a boat. I get a little seasick sometimes.
BUT, my goodness, I’ve LOVED this journey over the last few years and this episode is right up there as one of my favourites.
The fascinating engineering, innovation and obvious joy on Leo’s face for this tender is great to see.
Stunningly gorgeous and useful. Also, I love how Russell has his way of thinking, and that boat displays all the good things about the way he looks at boats, building them, and what they do.
That is a fine looking dingy indeed! Looks very versatile, superb quality, and very versatile. Great choice.
I did notice that the designer/ builder was fairly negative about fibreglass and composites, but then we discover that the whole dingy is coated in fibreglass and the mast is carbon fibre!
Thanks Leo, we support you and all the positive feedback and comments ........ your channel is a breath of freshness and hope while a big part of our world is wallowing in BS, lies and worse.
Hell Leo, that pt11 looks like it was made for the Sampson Tally Ho, well done sir.
I’ve been binge watching this whole series from start to here over the last few months and I’m finding it so relaxing watching all the amazing crafts and skills being worked out. Leo amongst so many things you are an amazing guy and as all of the guys who have helped out and offered their skills and a massive well done to everyone. ❤❤
I feel spoilt that I can watch you sail this wonderful device!
Russell and Ashlyn are great people!
I love seeing things like the PT11. Refined and honed to a fine edge by an experienced hand where the only consideration is perfection for it's design criteria. Light, easy handling and fit for the task. True engineering elegance.
Love seeing all the boats around PT harbor! The PT 11 is an awesome dingy, and Russel is a genius, he does incredible work!!
One of the many jobs I had was working with "Uniflight" in Bellingham, While they were in business. That experience really helped me appreciate the craftsman ship of the PT11; the design, the logic behind it, the ease with set up and tear down, the fact that you can store it whole or stacked.....all of this just makes your decision to buy it almost a foregone conclusion. Please express my appreciation to its creator. The look on your face when rowing or sailing, showed me how much you liked it. Enjoy !!
What an interesting explanation of how a dingy is used on a boat like Tally Ho. Not living near the ocean and experiencing sailing like you I had no idea of the thought that goes into the use of a dingy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to educated us land lovers.
From Missouri.
At 20:14 wow. Those are the most majestic sheep I have ever seen. It's as if they are royal figures welcoming you to their abode and posing for a portrait. Stunning. Good capture, there. That's the the kind of B roll that makes your videos so involving and just comfortable to watch. Oh, yes, and the two fun loving dorks struggling to remain composed as they explain that they paint boats. That was fun. Love the dingy.
Looks like german "Heidschnucken" sheep.
Thank you Leo for all that you have done to bring these videos to us viewers. You are very entertaining to watch and the way you show those who have come to help work on the boat mostly are also entertaining as well. With nearly half a million subscribers who wait on the edge of our collective seats for the next video, you and the Tally Ho have touched our hearts and can't wait for her launch. I will personally have a cold bottle of Champaign ready for that occasion.
An added bonus- for deck parties I clearly see the half's holding chips & guacamole 🎈ps- TH's decking & cabin details look so fine !
Congratulations Leo that is an excellent choice of tender and thank you for introducing us to Russel, I would love to hear more from him. I always loved rowing my tenders but preferred to scull over a short distance so a sculling notch or rowlock in the stern would be my addition.
Kintore turned out beautifully!
Russel, an amazing design. Leo, you find the best people. I almost do not want this to end. Best channel our there.
My Great Great Grandfather was Admirals Cox'n on the China Station under Admiral Pellew..he later went on to to the early Lifeboats off the Cornish and Devon coast and I'm sure that he'd have something to say haha . His name was Richard Bolitho (like the books), so just a fun fact
That tender is a work of art!
i loved watching Leo goof off in this lovely little craft
Wonderful design for a tender!
Best decision ever was to watch these videos when I started 3 years ago. I'm learning so much. Thank you Leo!
I used to build folding boats in NZ,they were a similar size to your one and were offered with or without mast and sails,they folded down to be around the size of a surfboard,although a bit thicker. The guy that designed them took the idea from boats that Commandos used in WW2 called folboats, they could land in France,fold it up and either Bury it in sand or simply hide it in bushes so they could recover them after a mission and row out to meet a submarine. They were built to go through the subs hatch.
I love the outboard noise and smell, nostalgia 😂. I do appreciate people who can actually row but they are few and far even amongst people who should know or consider themselves proficient boat people
The electric outboards are where its at these days. No noise, no stink, and plenty of enough longevity for the actual use of them.
You're an excellent filmmaker, Leo. Looking forward to all your future exploits on the high seas - as well as the continued renovation of Tally Ho.
I miss the sea. This video is a charming reminder of the effort and pride that go into building boats, and the joy and freedom in operating them.
What a cool little boat. If I were younger I would have seriously considered it.
I have been watching for 5 years and I have not missed a video & I have enjoyed each & every one!! The craftmanship is unbelievable!!
I wish I had some of your & the people you have had helpings talent
finally actually someone who knows how to feather the oars while rowing a dinghy.
There are several ways to "feather" the oars, depending on the situation.
...one can move a small boat around without ever pulling the oar out of the water....if you need to be quiet.
It has been groovy watching you and your team restore Tally Ho. I have been watching since the beginning.
What a great little boat 😊 you could see by the trade mark “Leo grin” on your face how much you loved rowing and sailing her, a cartoon came straight to my mind of Tally Ho sailing along with Leo in Little Ho sailing around the ship in circles 😂lol great choice 👍😊🗿🦥🦖🦑🦤🦫🦧😻🏴
Indeed. When he demonstrated "no hands" mode a playground tale from my childhood popped unbidden into my mind. A kid has a new bike and he quickly learns to ride it. After a few weeks he insists on showing his mum how good he is. The first time around the block it's "Look Mum, no hands!" Second time, "Look Mum, No feet!". The third time, it's "Look Mum, no teeth"
Leo looked genuinely happy sailing the PT-11. I really want one; they look like so much fun!
Thanks for sharing Leo, I look fwd to finding a premier post from you every weekend. You have just inspired me to, build one of these to pull behind my motorcycle. New dreams are hard to come by, and I thank You. Rock on!
A beautiful dingy for a beautiful ship! I think you made the right choice!
What a marvelous little boat!
Love the PT 11. We considered it as a tender for our Netzah, but it was too big even nested. I ended up building the East Port Nesting Pram from CLC boats and its been absolutely wonderful the last 3 seasons - only 65lbs!. Russell Brown's 'Epoxy Basics' is a must have for anyone considering this type of construction. He is a master and knows all the special secrets specific to this methodology. I look forward to more videos! Keep up the excellent work Leo and crew!
A beautiful boat and a great piece of engineering that shows that when form follows function amazing things emerge.
I often wondered what happened to Russel. We used to live on Ruxton Is in BC and we'd see him now and then in his proa. It was very fast. He hasn't changed, a gentle kind soul of which there are many in the PNW. Here in Australia you have to go to Tasmania to find the same vibe. Must be the colder weather. One thing that we have like nowhere else is lot's of parrots though. I'm happy about that.
I look forward to seeing the clever chocks that Leo devises to hold the tender snugly on deck. A work of art no doubt!
I wondered about that, too. Something so light will have to be fastened down really well in heavy weather!
Jib hoo.
The camping itself should deserve an episode alone!! What a therapeutic pleasure to see these videos, counting days for them!
The dinghy is awesome. And, from an engineering student's perspective, the view on different materials and techniques of building boats and dinghies from someone who has worked with all of them was quite interesting.
Leo, With Respect, WEAR A LIFE-JACKET!!! I Love all you do, especially sharing your influence with other boat building businesses. Wind and Oar in Portland just built a traditional, all wood , tender at our Sauvie Island School, sharing expertise from myself and another old salt from Schooner Creek, to younger, boat-builders racing Thistles and 29ers off the coast of Italy. With Huge Respect LEO, NO LIFE-JACKET is Irresponsible. You could not survive the hypothermia of those waters, that far out.
Not only beautiful, able to be self built, extremely functional and of optimal size for solo or couples but also just very cool.
Love it and even though I'm extremely land locked being in Indiana, USA we do have a few lakes around I think that little dingy would be a blast on.
Thanks for putting it on my radar.
Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
I had never heard of Port Townsend before the Talley Ho series, I feel this is the most capable boat town in America. They have everything
Including me! We've been coming here for 40+ years, part time residents for 25, full time since 2015. I don't have a boat, don't know a lot about them, but I like looking at them and drive through the marina every time I'm in town. It's a great place.
Ive been to Port Townsend before, we went to a camping site nearby checking out the historical bunkers at Fort Warden.
I'm so disappointed that i didn't know about the boat culture back then when I went.
Unique as a model. Quite nice and we'll made.
Thanks Leo once again by chairing what you discover and who you discover too.
Fabulous! Love the PT11. Seems like a perfect choice.
That is a the coolest dingy I have ever seen. So perfect for Tally Ho. Absolute match made on the Sea. Brilliant design.
Coming from a rower, you have great form!! Have you ever been in a racing shell? They're a blast if you can keep it upright, I highly recommend giving it a go one day.
Looking at the way Leo feathered the oars on each stroke, I'd guess he has.
What an amazing little tender is the PT11. ❤
I know very little about boats, but that tender seems like an awesome choice for you. Yes, store that inflatable out of sight! Wouldn't quite fit in with Tally Ho. Thanks for telling your story. Always entertaining, informative, and surprising. I look forward to the many stories you will tell once you are on you are under sail! 🙂
That is the perfect demonstration on why the right joint is a thing of beauty.
Well done Leo n the team been watching since the beginning
I’ve never fast-forwarded through any of these videos. I can’t say that about any other series that I watch. Great video, thank you!
ikr?
