I didn't think it was possible, but this channel is getting better and better. This is exciting stuff, seeing a restoration and then it being used for bigger plans is really inspiring- Thank you!
The crew drinking beer near the end really reminds me of the scene in The Return of the King, when the Hobbits are gathered in The Green Dragon, all back in the Shire, but all very different than they were at the start of the adventure. Tremendous achievement, and a great foundation for the next adventure back the UK!
This channel continues to bring joy to all who follow it but that cannot compare to what the crew have experienced during these last 9 weeks. A once in a lifetime voyage through fabulous scenery in a brand new "old" sailing vessel.
Whatever comes next, I’ll be here to watch it! This project, and this channel have really grown into something special. Also, as a non-sailor it’s pretty crazy to me that there are still waters in this world to explore that are completely uncharted.
I am insane with jealousy ! The people who enjoyed this experience will never ever forget ! I myself have had memorable moments in my flying career,that I treasure.Sharing these moments with you guy's is very special.
I really appreciate your efforts in bringing Tally Ho back to life. I look forward to your new adventures. One of the delights of my life was when I was 15 and my buddy and I built a 12' sailboat from scratch. We were so poor that we forged our own fittings, sewed our own sail, and laminated the mast. It was great fun to build and sail.
This is just lovely. I really love the tiny glimpses into the every day situations. You guys just living there. Looks very cosy. I really hope Patty will be joining the adventure to the UK. 😀
It seems very surreal to see you coming back from your shakedown cruise and planning to sail back to England on Tally Ho after such a whirlwind of a rebuild ! There were times when it seemed so far away and things didn't always seem to be in your favour like when you had to leave where you started building but you found a space at Port Townsend ! It has been a truly epic journey but your knowledge, skills as a boat builder and determination meant it was going to get finished one way or another and now it is done ! Congratulations Leo and crew, it is incredible to see what can be done with the right mindset !
I am a 100% disabled 75 year old retired man living on a pauper’s pension so I’m unable to contribute money but I will contribute my encouragement. I have watched on RUclips from the day you started the process. It has been so beautiful and inspiring to witness the transformation as well as the journey to sail the open sea. Thanks for the amazing adventure and I wish I could be there or be able to support you financially. God Bless and good seas for the future.
I'm a little torn. I loved watching the build, it was such a joy to watch how Tally Ho was slowly deconstructed and brought back to life as such a beautiful boat. And now I know that now it is just going to be little things, all the big jobs are over. But I absolutely love seeing Tally Ho under sail, the more the better and I really am looking forward to the trip home. On one hand I want Leo to stay, find another boat and do it again but on the other hand I just can't wait for the next chapter to begin. Thanks Leo, I loved every second leading up to this point. My only regret is that I couldn't ever make it to Squim when you were looking for volunteers to help out in the begining.
Omg - she really does look beautiful under sail! Tally Ho is a class act whatever way she is compared. Leo - your new mission for the boat seems to gave brought a sense of relaxation to your demeanor! Am enjoying the new style of commentary - well done!
Every time I see Tally Ho sailing i flash back to when you got her as a hulk and in bad condition that was some years back and i have followed her rebuild to be come probable the nicest restoration of any sailing Boat and the see her in full sail as she was back in the Fast net of yesterday's history is a credit to you and the crew that spent hours and hours of work on her she is for me the finest example of excellence of craftsmen ship you will ever see, i look forward to seeing her arrive of the coast of England in the future, not that i will be there but i will watch from home in Australia.
Congratulations to you all on your maiden voyage. Tally Ho looks so beautiful under sail. I’ve enjoyed every second of your journey right from the start🙏
Tally Ho & TEam tested and found not wanting. What a beautiful adventure in the very best company one could ask. Thanks for proving some glims into the voyage. I was very certain Tally Ho would provide a safe and solid performance, as she was built with much dedication, love and skill, lead by a very capable Leo and so many fantastically skilled individuals young and not so young. Seeing Tally Ho under full sail is just to pleasing a sight.
May I be so bold as to make a suggestion. I have watched every episode of this incredible journey. May I suggest you take part of an episode to showcase all the people that were involved in this build. You must have photos of everyone. Cheers from 🇨🇦
If those were the only issues you were able to find after a shakedown cruise you can definitely consider your build a success. I look forward to when you have Tally Ho on the hard to see if any planks have taken on a twist. Fair winds and following seas to you and crew.
Love the tiller pilot on the rudder trim tab. We use one on our wheel on a 38' Rhodes Vagabondia ketch- 13 tons net. Does a fine job for motoring in calm. "Sail on, sail on, sail on and on."
Leo it would be interesting to Hove-To at sea in a large swell just to see how well Tally Ho sits. Apparently in a very bad storm a pilot cutter hoved-to is supposed to be quite safe. Something to do with the long keel. Looking forward to your next adventure- stay safe
Seeing Tally Ho tucked away in these remote spots, her classic lines fitting naturally into the lanscape it was like you took a camera back in time and this was her maiden cruise 100 years ago. I look forward to what comes next and what path y'all take.
So excited for the next phase of Tally Ho's journey! The shake-down cruise was amazing! Traveling through what easily are some of the most beautiful places on Earth! Loved the crews comments once back in Port Townsend, returning to an old universe, having explored the new! ONWARD~~!!!
Some pretty good Pacific rollers on your journey leaving Haida Gwaii! Well done - Tally Ho sails like a trooper! (Congrats on 11,000 views in the first 30 mins of posting this video!)
I have found myself watching less and less of the videos since the shake down cruise started, this is because the project and video focus changed, as was expected. The videos are still fantastic, and the cinematography is stellar, it is just not the type of content I like to watch. I won't unsubscribe just yet but I will be more selective in what I watch. I wish Leo and Tally ho all the best.
Go East through the Panama Canal - it would be an amazing experience and avoid the perils of the pirates going West and the weather going further South.
Now that was a terrific voyage Leo & Crew! Good to see you guys back in Port Townsend. Really looking forward to your trip across the waters to England! Warmest regards to you & the crew! TALLY HO! 👍👍⛵⛵
Is she fast? How does she handle? I haven’t heard you talk much about her characteristics running through the water. Is it what you expected? Much love thank you so much! 🦋🕊🌹
Great Leo, you have been to some very beautiful surroundings the last 9 weeks. The most beautiful nature and less disturbing human beings 🤣. Enjoy you time ashore to prepare for the big trip. I wish you and your great crew all the best. Till the next video. Love from Austria.
I am sad to see you left my home here in BC. I have like others been here from the first plank was set to its home and will follow along to the end of your posts. I still offer the 10 ozt Pure silver medalion for a stantion for all to enjoy.
@@chrisschaefer3863 I once had a 16' Wayfarer up in Michigan. A Navy buddy was home on leave, and we had a sail on Lake Saint Clair. Going back in, we had a long run with a quarter swell that had him puking over the side. He took a bit of ribbing for being a seasick sailor. Those were fun times!
Watching these fantastic sailing/passing shots, I assume from the drone. Incredible technology right there which, not so long ago, would have needed a helicopter and whole TV/Film crew can now be done DIY with off the shelf tools.
Hi Leo, That auto pilot hack works like a charm, could you build a manual adjuster to help out when auto pilot is off. That could make helming much lighter
What an awesome trip! I’m glad that I could feel that I was kinda on that trip too. I love this channel. I’m looking forward to going on your next adventure too.
leo ,you didnt say cheers as you have done on all videos,great to see another countrys coast line so big and beautiful ,not forgetting a great crew and lovely people stay safe ,be great for you all to visit uk coast line when you come
Another truly excellent presentation, what a wonderful achievement, amazing photography backed up by a clear and concise commentary, no bluff or waffle....
Watching you go through the narrows reminded me of the American author 'Mark Twain' who's real name was Samuel Clemon's. Samuel Clemon's spent a significant part of his life as a river boat captain on the Mississippi River before he became a beloved author. Mark Twain was born out of the crew's aboard the river boat checking the depth of the river by 'marking the twine' and counting the knot's 1 for every fathom. Looking forward to the work after the shakedown!
Well done on your maiden voyage, GREAT STUFF, i loved every bit of it and you've learned loads which as you know will be a long lasting learning curve. Next job is to make her ship shape once again and move forward, You guys are doing so well. ( HATS OFF ).
How did the present prop / gearbox combo fare on this voyage? Ideally, it was satisfactory. Really stoked to carry on vicariously with your adventure. I hope that Bob would crew on the long passage. He's indispensable as a prime rigger and shipwright, not to mention his culinary skills. School cafeteria pizza is no small feat. All the best and Tally Ho! EDIT: ...and they all laughed when I mentioned ratlines 😅
I still think you could rig a fairly simple adjustable linkage to the trim tab and transom taffrail that would work the trim tab as you used the tiller to help take some of the muscle out of working the tiller.
Looking forward to hearing about your route selection to the UK. Hopefully it is via the canal as I will be heading down that way from Baja this season. Give your guys a break from the cold. Come to the tropics. Don't go the northern route.
Leo and Crew, I've been wanting to ask which route you'll take to get Tally Ho back to the UK, but haven't. You said it... sort of... in this video, there are basically 4 routes. I am looking forward to see which you choose and seeing those forthcoming videos. As always, thanks for this video. Cheers.
You have no idea how lucky you are to be exploring the inland passages there. Some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth. When did you install the autosteer?
@Leo Keep at least one pair of fins on board. You never know when someone has to be in the water. Heavy socks can fill the space if the fins are too large.
Tally Ho under full sail is simply a thing of beauty.
Those drone shots never get old
Beautiful indeed… I’ve spectated his channel through the whole build. This guy is incredible!
That’s for sure.
I'll second that!
And this landscape!
I didn't think it was possible, but this channel is getting better and better. This is exciting stuff, seeing a restoration and then it being used for bigger plans is really inspiring- Thank you!

The building, the sailing, the problem solving, all of it! Keep the videos coming. Love this channel.

So she’s coming home again after an amazing ‘ refit ‘ by some amazing craftsmen from across the pond, very nice and safe passage to you and the crew
I really appreciate your efforts in bringing Tally Ho back to life. I look forward to your new adventures.

I can't tell you enough Leo how proud your RUclips community is of your team's achievement.
Tears in my eyes thinking of dream coming true
This is just lovely. I really love the tiny glimpses into the every day situations. You guys just living there. Looks very cosy. I really hope Patty will be joining the adventure to the UK. 😀

Tally-Ho doing what she was designed and built and then rebuilt to do. I am in awe of Leo and what he has achieved.
Congratulations with the commissioning of Tally Ho. She is beautiful and a testimony to you Leo as now being a true master.
What's becoming clear to me that this boat has become your true home... love it.
9:45 That's the picture right there. Beautiful.
@12:12 though
From someone who's been living livelong in Germany, thanks for the video and greetings to bob :D

Yes, Leo, you are evidently really ALIVE again!
Love your smile!
Boy, am I pleased by your achivement, this is heroism of the highest level!!!!
9:41 This is the most beautiful shot of the entire series. Love it so much!
Congratulations to you all on your maiden voyage. Tally Ho looks so beautiful under sail. I’ve enjoyed every second of your journey right from the start🙏
Full sail is breathtaking
Tally Ho is just gorgeous... great job!
I was just thinking about this channel then boom! Y'all posted

No one cares
the sailmakers did one hell of a job, they are so beautiful
What a beautiful place to sail ! certainly makes me want to visit, lovely video Leo thank you.
If those were the only issues you were able to find after a shakedown cruise you can definitely consider your build a success. I look forward to when you have Tally Ho on the hard to see if any planks have taken on a twist. Fair winds and following seas to you and crew.

Looking forward to your next adventure- stay safe
I really like the video of Tally Ho sailing offshore in the swell. It was beautiful.
Seeing Tally Ho tucked away in these remote spots, her classic lines fitting naturally into the lanscape it was like you took a camera back in time and this was her maiden cruise 100 years ago.
I look forward to what comes next and what path y'all take.
So excited for the next phase of Tally Ho's journey! The shake-down cruise was amazing!
Traveling through what easily are some of the most beautiful places on Earth!
Loved the crews comments once back in Port Townsend, returning to an old universe, having explored the new!
ONWARD~~!!!
Some pretty good Pacific rollers on your journey leaving Haida Gwaii! Well done - Tally Ho sails like a trooper! (Congrats on 11,000 views in the first 30 mins of posting this video!)

We have twice been to Vancouver Island and really love the beautiful nature, thanks for the video, good memories
Only Allen Millyard to watch and my week is complete. Chill chill chill ✌️🇬🇧
Wow. You have built a whole new boat (with a classic heritage) and taken a cruise in it!
thank you !
Excited to see the future…
Go East through the Panama Canal - it would be an amazing experience and avoid the perils of the pirates going West and the weather going further South.
The Northwest Passage is another option.
I think the NW passage would be cool.
Absolutely nw passage... you need an ice pilot @samsonboatco
As usual, excellent content. Good storytelling, mellow soundtrack, great editing; what's not to like?
Wow, what a sight in full sail😢
Stay safe and get to work, weather is coming. Thanks for all the gorgeous scenery video.
That boat under full sail is truly a magnificent sight ..
Can’t wait to see some more upgrades and modifications to the boat ! Your videos as usual are amazing!
Now that was a terrific voyage Leo & Crew! Good to see you guys back in Port Townsend. Really looking forward to your trip across the waters to England! Warmest regards to you & the crew! TALLY HO! 👍👍⛵⛵
Is she fast? How does she handle? I haven’t heard you talk much about her characteristics running through the water. Is it what you expected?
Much love thank you so much!
🦋🕊🌹
Beautiful! just eye candy those shots with the sun through the canvas!
Always nice to follow..
Creaks but no leaks that’s good! 😂
Great Leo, you have been to some very beautiful surroundings the last 9 weeks. The most beautiful nature and less disturbing human beings 🤣. Enjoy you time ashore to prepare for the big trip. I wish you and your great crew all the best. Till the next video. Love from Austria.
Words ... fail me ❤ .. I think there's something in my eye ♥
that boat has a soul for shure!
I am sad to see you left my home here in BC. I have like others been here from the first plank was set to its home and will follow along to the end of your posts. I still offer the 10 ozt Pure silver medalion for a stantion for all to enjoy.
You have created a beautiful vessel! Stay with it!
Also, second!
"1600 Nautical Miles!" I am so happy for you-all!!!!
AH the dreaded quarter swell corkscrew!
@@chrisschaefer3863 I once had a 16' Wayfarer up in Michigan. A Navy buddy was home on leave, and we had a sail on Lake Saint Clair. Going back in, we had a long run with a quarter swell that had him puking over the side. He took a bit of ribbing for being a seasick sailor. Those were fun times!
Living a dream build by hand. Keep going!
Wow. There were some beautiful moments captured on this vid. Mucho gusto!
The angle pr steepness of the surrounding landscape gives some indication of the depth of the water. Steeper sides means deeper water.
Watching these fantastic sailing/passing shots, I assume from the drone.
Incredible technology right there which, not so long ago, would have needed a helicopter and whole TV/Film crew can now be done DIY with off the shelf tools.
This is such an amazing Chanel all the videos have been amazing 👍❤️ Leo you have been the best. Great job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
A beautiful boat, ESPECIALLY under full sail! Can't wait for your route choice, but I'm really glad you are making it and not me! Blessings.
Hi Leo, That auto pilot hack works like a charm, could you build a manual adjuster to help out when auto pilot is off. That could make helming much lighter
Once you’ve finished the Fastnet perhaps you can launch a challenge for the America’s Cup
What an awesome trip! I’m glad that I could feel that I was kinda on that trip too. I love this channel. I’m looking forward to going on your next adventure too.
Can't wait for the surprise spinnaker hoisting during the Fastnet Race. LOL
leo ,you didnt say cheers as you have done on all videos,great to see another countrys coast line so big and beautiful ,not forgetting a great crew and lovely people stay safe ,be great for you all to visit uk coast line when you come
Wow, that was quick! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the autopilot.
Good stuff Leo and crew!❤
Good show folks.
so excellent thank you for all the videos
good luck on your new mission

It is a very beautiful boat.
9:42 that's what it all about
You made my day, Keep up the great work!
Great news!

Nice splicing and you got your hair cut, I've spent too much time in Wales! Fair weather and good seas!
Brilliant
And beautiful.
👏🏻
Everything is the same, but everything is different. Welcome to my world.
I still think you could rig a fairly simple adjustable linkage to the trim tab and transom taffrail that would work the trim tab as you used the tiller to help take some of the muscle out of working the tiller.
Hi from the surrey in the uk
Your drone shots are just specular
Had to look up specular. 👏
Looking forward to hearing about your route selection to the UK. Hopefully it is via the canal as I will be heading down that way from Baja this season. Give your guys a break from the cold. Come to the tropics. Don't go the northern route.
