@@cheif10thumbs The way he looks on camera (in terms of his face) it looks like the first time he's done it, but looking at his hands and the results it is clear he's very experienced. Seems he still has the joy of the job.
The boat gets older and older as the episodes go by , yet it keeps looking younger and younger : built to near perfection by a dedicated team of enthusiastic and craftsman. Brilliant.
I am sure that, like me, thousand's, find these videos more than entertainment. They are a real time personal insight into one man's dreams. In itself inspirational. How he has secured and organised the wildly disparate resources needed is testimony to the depth of a young man's ambitions. Also the insight into long gone, and barely surviving skills and craftsmanship which designed and built the ships which supported the development of our modern world, takes my breath away. Leo is an inspiration and something in his demeanour exudes the stock of his seafaring forebears.
In addition to the incredible content Leo creates, the comment section is full of gold nuggets. This channel is at the highest level of any filming …. Anywhere!
Richard is truly a sea dog! I've had the pleasure of his instruction at the Northwest school of wooden boatbuilding back in 2001. Not only did I learn a lot about wooden boats from Richard, I picked up an odd saying from him. He would say from time to time in his teachings "this piece wants to be so long" (or something like that), rather than "this piece needs to be so long". To this day, I sometimes say things like "the wall wants to be red" when choosing a color or "it wants to be 3', 6 1/2" when building something. He also left me with the impression that he was no stranger to blue water. Tally Ho wants to have Richard help her float again.
And I am sure he knows where every bits are. - "Hey Dave do you have an older 1-1/2 inch chisel I could abuse?" - Sure just take the one in the right compartment of the wood box behind the rusty metal tool box under the bunch Sawzall, it is the chisel with the green handle.
As a marine engineer I feel obliged to say that I had no idea a setup like that was possible... but holy crap is it cool. Well done Leo, you've really done your homework and made this boat as awesome as it truly can be.
Watching Richard work is watching a guy who's clearly done this shit so much there's exactly zero head scratching. He's just doing the steps one after another because it's all settled in his head 1000 times over.
I love the thought you can anchor in a tidal inlet, on a dark stormy night and still have the feathered prop generating KW of power charging all batteries, feeding bilge pumps and nav lights. Even though there is not one drop of sunshine to be had. Great work by one and all. hats off to you all.
If you've ever seen a child's eye's, in a big toy store or a candy shop, then you can picture my face when I see all these old milling and hand tools! NEVER, will I disparage power tools but the pleasure of hand tools,,, priceless!
I love this engine system for this boat. It is super reliable, redundant, does bring all the electrical creature comforts you want on board and still is close to what would have been used traditionally and does not need any solar panels on deck to do any of it. It's having the cake and eating it too and then some.
@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 I think Power Plant would be more appropriate in this case. It is a motor, an engine and gen set. I can not wait to see the performance numbers when she hits the water... especially the regen.

Dave and Richard remind me of my Grandfather. His hand tools were shaped to his hands like theirs. All I know is he served as a UK Merchant Seaman WWI. It’s clear that he apprenticed as a shipwright and worked on Coastal Traders, possibly Tall Ships. He was the reason I decided to use my savings to buy a model of the Cutty Shark Clipper. This was in 1967. I was 6 and had I saved over 1000 pennies(5/6th of a cent) Currency change came to $10. Thanks for triggering memories.

Every time you are working with power tools, I just imagine how much time and effort went into building ships in the old days of only hand tools. Amazing to think of the hours that went into an old boat.
When I saw the delivery vehicle and the back doors were opened to reveal the large boxes being off loaded a shock ran through me and tears filled my eyes !!!! If it affected me so strongly, then I can only imagine how this significant milestone affected you all !! I feel honored to be a part of Tally Ho’s rebuild.
Leo, I think the hybrid drive system is brilliant. You're getting the best of both worlds, not even counting the ability to use the diesel engine as a generator, and using the prop as a generator as well. I'm really interested to see how it performs.
Hey Leo, could you maybe do a video where you sit down and explain what steps are still needed to finish Tally Ho and what the plan is for the coming months? Love your videos and can't wait to see Tally Ho set sail again!
We were just wondering about that. For this uninformed person it seems close to the end. At least compared to when he started. ETA: My wife's prediction is that he is one and a half years away. I'm thinking more like six months. My wife thinks that's funny.
I'd like to see what Leo has to say about this. I started to try to make a list but it would have missed so many things that I didn't think it would be interesting. I used to renovate apartment units in an old building. I called everything left after the major stuff was done the doo dad phase. It felt like we were done because the things left were so small, but it turned out even if all that is left to do is small things it can take a depressingly long time to finish when there are a lot of them.
That motor setup is everything anybody could ever ask for. Redundancies upon redundancies. Exactly what a sailor like you needs to take your ship to the furthest flung corners or the earth. Awesome.
Having some of those old boys helping must be so valuable, you can't beat experience. In general, the precision and overall quality of all the work being done is above and beyond, simply amazing. I would trust this boat in any seas. Well done, lads!
An experienced boatwright once made engine bed blocks to undersize. When installing the engine he was able used thicker wooden shims. They have their tricks when ever needed.
Leo - I have a Beta 30 in my LM. Great engine but it does suffer from one weak point in my opinion. The feed to the heat exchange where it joins and turns at 90 degrees furs up very easily. Every season I need to take it off and use a solvent on it. If left unattended , it blocks completely. Thought you should know! Love the series and keep doing what you do! Happy New Year. Reply: Not sure if the larger engine would have same problem my feed tube is low side of 13mm. I suspect a gentler turn would help flow. The furring does not seem to get anywhere else. The heat exchange is pretty clear. Good news is it’s a once a season simple job. Just add it to the list! Spare O rings for heat exchange and all good. The engine anode also goes in here so that might cause the cement for the furring! Good luck.
I have had a lake boat all my life and no issues with cooling but this seems to be a once a year issue with salt water boats. Makes you wonder why they dont use a radiator more. I saw on one boat it just had closed loop cooling tubes running under the boat.
What a great episode of Tally Ho. I really enjoy watching Richard the happy boat elf working away in Santa Leo's workshop. He is such an amazing craftsman. Dave is another great icon of the Port Townsend boat yard. It was great to meet him and see his shop. That engine is awesome. What a great choice for Tally Ho. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
I love the episodes with Richard working. Watching those years of experience at work is always a blessing to see. Such a neat project to have work done by some of the new generation and perhaps some of the last major work done by the old masters on a new boat. Very special project.
Talley Ho project is the best thing on TH-cam. I can't get enough of it, I'm always looking for new episodes. I haven't donated to it yet, but now knowing how Patreon works (seeing the CEO of Patreon operating, in his own musical environment, it was the deal maker for me). I'll be signing up to support Talley Ho soon through Patreon in the next month or two, once Christmas credit spending is behind me (prob Feb). I love watching this project move forward. It was more fun in Leo's old Sequim workshop & makeshift boatyard but this new shop is fun too. He's moved into the big time now, as it were. Leo is one of the most honorable people you can find online and on TH-cam. He's a real soul, a craftsman and a shipwright... Not to leave out sailor. When he's boat building the sailing community obviously misses him. When he returns to full time sailing the boat building world will be at a loss too. A lose lose or a win win depending on your perspective. Good luck in your future endeavors Leo.
I actually took screen shots of Dave’s shop just to zoom in and all the big and little tool treasures. Amazing what you accumulate in 40 some odd years of work. There some tool junkies salivating right now 😀
Dear Leo, What can I say? I love you! And I love Tally Ho. I've just watched Episode 87 for the first time. I am in awe of boat builders. How can boat designers keep all these disparate details in their heads?! Anyway, I am one of your Patreon supporters, and perhaps that will entitle me to a ride on Tally Ho one day. I'm on the east coast, and I'm going to be 62 very soon, so I don't know. I'll have to get myself to wherever Tally Ho is docked, etc., etc. Whatever happens, I salute you, Captain, and I hope Tally Ho turns out to be very yar! David, Fredericksburg, Va.
As much as I love the woodwork - and the maritime woodwork is the main reason why I watch this channel - I am absolutely excited about the whole engine topic. I do believe that the choice of engine(s) here is great and I am very much looking forward to seeing how well it works, once Tally Ho is back on the waters.
Leo, as one Englishman to another...Brilliant! ....Brilliant choice of power unit! It does it all with only one diesel engine, one generator/motor set up, the re-gen, and the 'clutch' disconnect device on the shaft. A huge simplification of systems. Get a healthy bank of Lithium iron batteries (much lighter) and you will hardly need to run the engine at all. Well done. Aloha from Hi,
As an erstwhile Englishman in Canada it's so nice to hear lag bolts called by their old world elegant name-Coach screws. Thank you, I haven't hear that in about 50 years (except when I try to buy Lag Bolts of course.🤣)
I am also a son of Anglia but have worked abroad most of my adult life. I have lost count of the number of times the lag or coach has been argued over even in the UK. The terms lag and coach are both derived from and used in the UK. The biggest mistake made is a coach screw is not a lag bolt but a lag screw a coach bolt is a lag bolt both needing nuts to hold components together rather than threads in the case of screws.
Thanks Leo. Great engine choice. Considering that for my Tacoma made "Dream boat" 1928 Carl Rathfon mahogany wonder. I'm on the hard in San Rafael, cal.. Been living on it over 10 yrs Slowly but surely working on it. Getting old. 💘 this old gal. Anyway, good on you Leo.
Beautiful music 🎶 Wayward Jane. Certainly caught my Irish attention. 🇮🇪🎶Creamy pints of Guinness sipping music, early evening in an Irish pub, before the faster session music later on after warming up.
That workshop has set me back in time, it was the shop of my grandpa where i grow up and learned playwise woodworking. Ps if i was a (multi) millionaire the Tally ho was already sold without discusing the price
Not sure about the day and age but the locations of sailing/motoring to be done, viz in high latitudes, can extend the range of operations in remote seas with less worrying about the amount of fuel being used.
@@alexandermenzies9954 by day and age I mean the battery/charging technologies. on one hand it would be nice to go full electric, but the energy requirements for a boat this big are too much. on the other hand, going full diesel is stinky, loud and not environment-friendly. a hybrid system gives you the best of both worlds - you can give it full snot with the diesel when there's zero wind and you need to get somewhere, but other than that you can have electricity on the boat for free and happily putter around the marinas without burning any dinosaur juice.
@@_f355 OK, Konstantin. However your characterisation of modern diesel engines as "stinky, loud and not environment-friendly" is waaaay yesterday. The days of billowing black smoke and bellowing exhausts have gone in all but the old donks. It's interesting to read some commenters suggesting that sailing with the prop turning the generator is later free energy but of course there's a "price" to pay; energy conversion is somewhat inefficient (less than 100%) so that sailing is slightly slower than if the prop was 'furled', plus the later use of that energy now stored in the batteries is again converted with an accompanying loss (again, less than 100%). Perpetual motion still awaits us :). Not that I'm counting.. That said, Leo's points were well made including not having to start the ic engine for brief manoeuvring in port etc. It's a fantastic purchase.
Thank you ,for giving , us a update on the engine mounts , build and the very unique , Kubota ,diesel ,engine.Very practical with two, kilowatts, motors!Turn the diesel off and use electric motor in calm water! And not forgetting the frig., ice maker and the Jacuzzi, for entertaining the ladys!😀👍
Leo, I really like your choice of a hybrid system which will make life easier. Getting that engine mounted and aligned will be a big achievement. Can't wait to see it installed. Thanks for all your hard work providing us with videos of your boat project.
Leo, I truly appreciate everything you are doing, and especially, the way you explain the various parts and operations! It’s also fantastic that you are surrounded with so many talented craftsmen. Love the new motor and the complete concept. Can’t wait to see it in action! Gracias y Feliz año nuevo!
Now that's my kind of motor/engine! I love the simplicity design where it's not dependent on a bunch of electronics. The flexibility to operate in so many different modes is impressive to say the least. It will be interesting to see how reliable and useful the design proves to be.
WOW! This is the coolest engine choice for the most amazing sailboat ever built. And I thought the 10 HP Yanmar on my boat was the greatest engine ever… lol! Engine technology has really advanced over the past 20 years or so. I was almost expecting Leo to say something like ‘and underneath this cover is the automatic margarita dispenser…. In addition to diesel and electric power generation, I just push a button in the galley and this unit mixes and pumps perfect margaritas’…. Incredible!
Honestly, the Diesel engine is a simple mechanical system. My old diesel VW is more sophisticated. Pairing diesel to electric is also a very simple and old idea. All of the ferries in Washington states have diesel/electric system including the Port Townsend ferry. The beauty of this system is that it is scaled down to suit a pleasure craft and is nicely integrated.
Richard is such a joy to watch. I think most people wished that they had chosen a trade or profession that you would still love it after many decades.😄
Great job of reiterating the two systems of the engine. With the visual of the engine it made much more sense. Your choice will definitely suit Tally Ho and how you will be sailing. I am anxious see videos of you sailing Tally Ho.
Wonderful, thank you Leo ... I noticed how Low Key Pete was excited to unbox the engine too !! :) .. Richard's smile is contagious. can't wait for 116 ! ❤❤👍👍
If you ordered a 2.5 from prm and they sent you a 2.0 then hopefully they will work with you on getting the correct gearbox at a nominal cost to you. Still, as others have stated, changing out the gearbox is your best option. Keep up the great videos Leo.
Those Beta Hybrids really are a leap forward in sailboat power plants, what an excellent choice! And to Richard and his helpers, that engine bed looks like it could carry a tank! Beautiful job with some beautiful pieces of timber, you guys are true artists. Can't wait to see her all together!
Hi Leo! Looks like the belt for the hybrid system will be trapped by the prop shaft once it’s all bolted up. In the interest of future maintenance can I suggest you install a second, backup belt on the prop shaft before bolting the engine in place. Find a way to secure it out of the way and where it won’t touch any moving parts. That way in case the belt should fail or require replacement, you’ve at least got ONE shot at it without having to pull the entire engine and/or prop shaft (which may require removal of the rudder). Just a thought. Cheers mate!
Interesting and clever idea. However if one disconnects the prop shaft from the engine there should be plenty of room to slide it outboard to allow for a belt change. 3/4” is probably sufficient.
Leo, I anticipate every new video. I am not a world sailor like you but have sailed in California Channel Islands for 20 years and took the big risk (for me) and chartered in the Med and Aegean . I love your dream being realized and I also love the art of your wood working. It is truly art in precision. You are an example of having a dream, then a vision, followed by execution. Well done. I look forward to your eventual breaking of the bottle on the bow. signed a 76 year old man who still dreams and still tries. John
at first I thought-- Damn! that's a pretty engine!,,, then after understanding all the functions it is capable of,,, I think WOW!! that is way to go,, so very cool!!
They are but WOW! they are expensive. I got a quote that was approx (3X) the cost of the base Beta marine engine, not including batteries or shipping from England. A Beta 36 hybrid will be $30K+ not installed. Too bad so expensive. It seems like the perfect engine for modern sailors/cruisers. Hopefully the price will drop in the coming years.
For the first time I have the slightest glimpse of what Couvade Syndrome must be like. I am panting and looking cross ways at stickers orientation and wear mark's on bearings. It is BEAUTIFUL! I am so very proud! Thanks Leo, I couldn't have done it without you.
The substance of your videos is always amazing, but I just can’t believe how good you are at editing and producing these videos, and working in such diverse but perfectly chosen music. Where you even find that soundtrack is a wonder to me. Maybe I don’t watch enough TH-cam but it seems beyond the quality I normally see from people using free or cheap copyright music. The whole package is just so good, and being from the PNW this also always captures that NW vibe and makes me feel a bit of home. Thanks!
Wow Leo, that's not an engine, it's a complete,fully integrated power plant ! Awesome ! Good, well taught choice. 👍👏 And yes, Richard must be a pleasant man to work with. Every movement is assured and tought of in advance. A pleasure to watch ! 😁
Now that I see the engine, all of your explanations fall into place. This is a great engine and an awesome idea of being able to use all 3 systems as and when needed.
Lovely as always...when I was first introduced to Tally ho, I binge watched two years worth in a weekend, havent looked back since..(except to watch again!) I'm a Tally ho junky now.👍🏻😊
I loved this episode! I was stoked by first engine video and to see this engine arrive, is awesome. This engine is a strong indication that this sailboat will be a modern wooden sailboat. Not a museum boat. I look forward to seeing more of the modern plans for this classic sailing yacht. BTW, Richard is the coolest guy.
I must say: apart from the amazing craftmanship I also admire the beautiful scenic shots you make in the harbor, of the boats and the nature, etc. Thanks from the Netherlands!
Well Leo, this is a great moment, congratulations. The other point is, that everytime you turn out a vid, everybody hops on it! It's amazing, 93T views in only 4 hours after release is unheard of. Looking forward to every episode. Great work! Thanks for having the posibility to be part of it. Roland from good old Germany
An Austin Healey Sprite parked under a blanket of snow. Vintage car restorations are great, but this introduction to sail boat restoration is truly a mammoth task. The work is awesome. Well done mate.
This project is still interesting and fascinating. I'm looking forward to the completion of the boat, but somehow fear the end of these episodes. Good that Leo already now is thinking about the sailing videos.
Me too! This is the only channel on U tube that I am a patreon supporter. Nothing else comes close. Nobody has heart like Leo. I could watch these videos for years. Luckily this project takes time to do.
I love how you have adopted a solution that will be zero carbon in every day use but which gives flexibility to sail the world too. That's quite inspiring.
Really loved the music this episode. It's funny how relaxing it is watching all of you work so hard! The ship is looking wonderful! Love all the gorgeous timbers everyone's working with. 😉💕
Love your choise of engine. It´s simplicity for a trustworthy, basic propulsion unit - and modern tech making it the best of two worlds. Nice! You know you you are doing something right when it comes to documenting and sharing too - with 113K views in 6 hours ...
I have been waiting to see the engine since you decided to go with the hybrid diesel system. It is a masterpiece of engineering it looks beefier than I had imagined it would. The coupling that joins the electrics to the prop shaft is beautiful as a stand alone device. Its clearly built as a proper marine power plant. I would love to attend the launching event just to not hear you pull away from the dock under electric power. You had the smile of a kid on Christmas morning after Santa delivered the train set he wanted. Thanks stay safe
This is the only channel I know of that consistently receives more views than subscribers. Most channels I watch usually get about views half of their subscribers
Nice to see the chrome bumper MGB huddled under the snow. An early “square rigger” MG might be more appropriate among the wooden boots but rather fitting all the same.
It is nice to see the engine now after you did all the research and vlog on what you was getting cannot wait to see it installed it will look great the red against the the interior of the stern Nice to see some snow ( might not be for you all working in it ) you all take care 😀👍

It felt like we were done because the things left were so small, but it turned out even if all that is left to do is small things it can take a depressingly long time to finish when there are a lot of them.
That motor setup is everything anybody could ever ask for. Redundancies upon redundancies. Exactly what a sailor like you needs to take your ship to the furthest flung corners or the earth. Awesome.
From the eleventieth to this eleventy-second year I’ve seen her come so far.
May the winds continue in your favour, Leo!
my kind of video wood and mechanical topics.
Having some of those old boys helping must be so valuable, you can't beat experience. In general, the precision and overall quality of all the work being done is above and beyond, simply amazing. I would trust this boat in any seas. Well done, lads!
An experienced boatwright once made engine bed blocks to undersize.
When installing the engine he was able used thicker wooden shims.
They have their tricks when ever needed.
Leo - I have a Beta 30 in my LM. Great engine but it does suffer from one weak point in my opinion. The feed to the heat exchange where it joins and turns at 90 degrees furs up very easily. Every season I need to take it off and use a solvent on it. If left unattended , it blocks completely. Thought you should know! Love the series and keep doing what you do! Happy New Year. Reply: Not sure if the larger engine would have same problem my feed tube is low side of 13mm. I suspect a gentler turn would help flow. The furring does not seem to get anywhere else. The heat exchange is pretty clear. Good news is it’s a once a season simple job. Just add it to the list! Spare O rings for heat exchange and all good. The engine anode also goes in here so that might cause the cement for the furring! Good luck.
Is there Any way to improve it somehow?
@@Max............. maybe you could remove it and use solvent on it? Maybe once a season or so?
On a boat this this he really shouldn't be using raw water cooling anyway. Thus that wouldn't be an issue.
@@otm646 u don’t seem to know what a heat exchanger is mate 👍🇬🇧
I have had a lake boat all my life and no issues with cooling but this seems to be a once a year issue with salt water boats. Makes you wonder why they dont use a radiator more. I saw on one boat it just had closed loop cooling tubes running under the boat.
Much thought was put into every piece of wood, screw, bolt that went into Talley Ho & now the engine. Great choice.
The old boy sorts it out! Hard work for an old man, I known being that man.
What a great episode of Tally Ho. I really enjoy watching Richard the happy boat elf working away in Santa Leo's workshop. He is such an amazing craftsman. Dave is another great icon of the Port Townsend boat yard. It was great to meet him and see his shop. That engine is awesome. What a great choice for Tally Ho. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Why am I so excited that the engine arrived? It's been awhile since I've been following this channel.
I love the episodes with Richard working. Watching those years of experience at work is always a blessing to see. Such a neat project to have work done by some of the new generation and perhaps some of the last major work done by the old masters on a new boat. Very special project.
Talley Ho project is the best thing on TH-cam. I can't get enough of it, I'm always looking for new episodes.
I haven't donated to it yet, but now knowing how Patreon works (seeing the CEO of Patreon operating, in his own musical environment, it was the deal maker for me). I'll be signing up to support Talley Ho soon through Patreon in the next month or two, once Christmas credit spending is behind me (prob Feb).
I love watching this project move forward. It was more fun in Leo's old Sequim workshop & makeshift boatyard but this new shop is fun too. He's moved into the big time now, as it were.
Leo is one of the most honorable people you can find online and on TH-cam. He's a real soul, a craftsman and a shipwright... Not to leave out sailor. When he's boat building the sailing community obviously misses him. When he returns to full time sailing the boat building world will be at a loss too. A lose lose or a win win depending on your perspective.
Good luck in your future endeavors Leo.
I actually took screen shots of Dave’s shop just to zoom in and all the big and little tool treasures. Amazing what you accumulate in 40 some odd years of work. There some tool junkies salivating right now 😀
Dear Leo,
What can I say? I love you! And I love Tally Ho.
I've just watched Episode 87 for the first time. I am in awe of boat builders. How can boat designers keep all these disparate details in their heads?!
Anyway, I am one of your Patreon supporters, and perhaps that will entitle me to a ride on Tally Ho one day. I'm on the east coast, and I'm going to be 62 very soon, so I don't know. I'll have to get myself to wherever Tally Ho is docked, etc., etc.
Whatever happens, I salute you, Captain, and I hope Tally Ho turns out to be very yar!
David,

As much as I love the woodwork - and the maritime woodwork is the main reason why I watch this channel - I am absolutely excited about the whole engine topic. I do believe that the choice of engine(s) here is great and I am very much looking forward to seeing how well it works, once Tally Ho is back on the waters.
Leo, as one Englishman to another...Brilliant! ....Brilliant choice of power unit! It does it all with only one diesel engine, one generator/motor set up, the re-gen, and the 'clutch' disconnect device on the shaft. A huge simplification of systems. Get a healthy bank of Lithium iron batteries (much lighter) and you will hardly need to run the engine at all. Well done. Aloha from Hi,
Watching Richard reminds me of watching a very accomplished friend of mine. Slow and steady and make every move count.
As an erstwhile Englishman in Canada it's so nice to hear lag bolts called by their old world elegant name-Coach screws. Thank you, I haven't hear that in about 50 years (except when I try to buy Lag Bolts of course.🤣)
I am also a son of Anglia but have worked abroad most of my adult life. I have lost count of the number of times the lag or coach has been argued over even in the UK. The terms lag and coach are both derived from and used in the UK. The biggest mistake made is a coach screw is not a lag bolt but a lag screw a coach bolt is a lag bolt both needing nuts to hold components together rather than threads in the case of screws.
Thanks Leo. Great engine choice. Considering that for my Tacoma made "Dream boat" 1928 Carl Rathfon mahogany wonder. I'm on the hard in San Rafael, cal.. Been living on it over 10 yrs
Slowly but surely working on it. Getting old. 💘 this old gal. Anyway, good on you Leo.
Beautiful music 🎶 Wayward Jane. Certainly caught my Irish attention. 🇮🇪🎶Creamy pints of Guinness sipping music, early evening in an Irish pub, before the faster session music later on after warming up.
That workshop has set me back in time, it was the shop of my grandpa where i grow up and learned playwise woodworking. Ps if i was a (multi) millionaire the Tally ho was already sold without discusing the price
5:45 peak safety squint right here, top notch
I absolutely LOVE that you went with a hybrid system. neither full-electric nor full-diesel makes sense on this size of a boat in this day and age.
Not sure about the day and age but the locations of sailing/motoring to be done, viz in high latitudes, can extend the range of operations in remote seas with less worrying about the amount of fuel being used.
@@alexandermenzies9954 by day and age I mean the battery/charging technologies. on one hand it would be nice to go full electric, but the energy requirements for a boat this big are too much. on the other hand, going full diesel is stinky, loud and not environment-friendly. a hybrid system gives you the best of both worlds - you can give it full snot with the diesel when there's zero wind and you need to get somewhere, but other than that you can have electricity on the boat for free and happily putter around the marinas without burning any dinosaur juice.
@@_f355 OK, Konstantin. However your characterisation of modern diesel engines as "stinky, loud and not environment-friendly" is waaaay yesterday. The days of billowing black smoke and bellowing exhausts have gone in all but the old donks.
It's interesting to read some commenters suggesting that sailing with the prop turning the generator is later free energy but of course there's a "price" to pay; energy conversion is somewhat inefficient (less than 100%) so that sailing is slightly slower than if the prop was 'furled', plus the later use of that energy now stored in the batteries is again converted with an accompanying loss (again, less than 100%). Perpetual motion still awaits us :). Not that I'm counting..
That said, Leo's points were well made including not having to start the ic engine for brief manoeuvring in port etc.
It's a fantastic purchase.
Thank you ,for giving , us a update on the engine mounts , build and the very unique , Kubota ,diesel ,engine.Very practical with two, kilowatts, motors!Turn the diesel off and use electric motor in calm water! And not forgetting the frig., ice maker and the Jacuzzi, for entertaining the ladys!😀👍
This is so cool! It’s like an Ocean Volt and a Yanmar had a love child.
Watching from the beginning. People working on Tally Ho contribute to her legacy. Love every video.
Hard to believe how far Tally Ho has come, you’ve done an unbelievable job Leo! 👍👍🤘🏻🤘🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Happy Birthday Tally Ho!
Leo, I really like your choice of a hybrid system which will make life easier. Getting that engine mounted and aligned will be a big achievement. Can't wait to see it installed. Thanks for all your hard work providing us with videos of your boat project.
I just love watching craftsmen doing they're thing. Long live craftsmen.
Saw the earlier engine episode, but appreciated this tutorial on how the hybrid system works and its inherent versatility.
loved watching the "Richard at work" collages in this one. Just a guy, going calmly and steadily about his work.
Leo, I truly appreciate everything you are doing, and especially, the way you explain the various parts and operations! It’s also fantastic that you are surrounded with so many talented craftsmen. Love the new motor and the complete concept. Can’t wait to see it in action! Gracias y Feliz año nuevo!
This is the greatest project. I hope Netflix offers a contract to re edit this into a 4 season series chronicling the entire journey.
I feel like I was waiting a lot longer than a year to hear Leo say “112 year old classic sailing yacht Tally Ho”!!
Now that's my kind of motor/engine! I love the simplicity design where it's not dependent on a bunch of electronics. The flexibility to operate in so many different modes is impressive to say the least. It will be interesting to see how reliable and useful the design proves to be.
WOW! This is the coolest engine choice for the most amazing sailboat ever built. And I thought the 10 HP Yanmar on my boat was the greatest engine ever… lol! Engine technology has really advanced over the past 20 years or so. I was almost expecting Leo to say something like ‘and underneath this cover is the automatic margarita dispenser…. In addition to diesel and electric power generation, I just push a button in the galley and this unit mixes and pumps perfect margaritas’…. Incredible!
Honestly, the Diesel engine is a simple mechanical system. My old diesel VW is more sophisticated. Pairing diesel to electric is also a very simple and old idea. All of the ferries in Washington states have diesel/electric system including the Port Townsend ferry. The beauty of this system is that it is scaled down to suit a pleasure craft and is nicely integrated.
Richard is such a joy to watch. I think most people wished that they had chosen a trade or profession that you would still love it after many decades.😄
Pretty neat to have wind, diesel, AND electricity to power a vessel! Always looking forward to a new Tally Ho video!
I don’t know about the music in the middle of this video but I am so stoked to see your engine finally arrived!
Great motor, enough said with the word "redundancy".
Thank you for a great episode!
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
Great job of reiterating the two systems of the engine. With the visual of the engine it made much more sense. Your choice will definitely suit Tally Ho and how you will be sailing. I am anxious see videos of you sailing Tally Ho.
That old man 40 years of passion surpasses all and his pure handon approach delightful to watch
was not expecting that hotline miami music lol
Wonderful, thank you Leo ... I noticed how Low Key Pete was excited to unbox the engine too !! :) .. Richard's smile is contagious. can't wait for 116 ! ❤❤👍👍
That is a very versatile engine set up, looks the bee's knees too. Plenty of other good stuff going on as well. HNY to you all.
If you ordered a 2.5 from prm and they sent you a 2.0 then hopefully they will work with you on getting the correct gearbox at a nominal cost to you. Still, as others have stated, changing out the gearbox is your best option. Keep up the great videos Leo.
Beta Marine are fantastic at turning Kabota motors into marine engines. As soon as I saw the red, I knew you had made a good decision.
Those Beta Hybrids really are a leap forward in sailboat power plants, what an excellent choice! And to Richard and his helpers, that engine bed looks like it could carry a tank! Beautiful job with some beautiful pieces of timber, you guys are true artists. Can't wait to see her all together!
Hi Leo!
Looks like the belt for the hybrid system will be trapped by the prop shaft once it’s all bolted up. In the interest of future maintenance can I suggest you install a second, backup belt on the prop shaft before bolting the engine in place. Find a way to secure it out of the way and where it won’t touch any moving parts. That way in case the belt should fail or require replacement, you’ve at least got ONE shot at it without having to pull the entire engine and/or prop shaft (which may require removal of the rudder). Just a thought. Cheers mate!
Interesting and clever idea. However if one disconnects the prop shaft from the engine there should be plenty of room to slide it outboard to allow for a belt change. 3/4” is probably sufficient.
Leo, I anticipate every new video. I am not a world sailor like you but have sailed in California Channel Islands for 20 years and took the big risk (for me) and chartered in the Med and Aegean . I love your dream being realized and I also love the art of your wood working. It is truly art in precision. You are an example of having a dream, then a vision, followed by execution. Well done. I look forward to your eventual breaking of the bottle on the bow. signed a 76 year old man who still dreams and still tries. John
at first I thought-- Damn! that's a pretty engine!,,, then after understanding all the functions it is capable of,,, I think WOW!! that is way to go,, so very cool!!
They are but WOW! they are expensive. I got a quote that was approx (3X) the cost of the base Beta marine engine, not including batteries or shipping from England. A Beta 36 hybrid will be $30K+ not installed. Too bad so expensive. It seems like the perfect engine for modern sailors/cruisers. Hopefully the price will drop in the coming years.
For the first time I have the slightest glimpse of what Couvade Syndrome must be like. I am panting and looking cross ways at stickers orientation and wear mark's on
bearings. It is BEAUTIFUL! I am so very proud! Thanks Leo, I couldn't have done it without you.
The substance of your videos is always amazing, but I just can’t believe how good you are at editing and producing these videos, and working in such diverse but perfectly chosen music. Where you even find that soundtrack is a wonder to me. Maybe I don’t watch enough TH-cam but it seems beyond the quality I normally see from people using free or cheap copyright music. The whole package is just so good, and being from the PNW this also always captures that NW vibe and makes me feel a bit of home. Thanks!
Wow Leo, that's not an engine, it's a complete,fully integrated power plant ! Awesome ! Good, well taught choice. 👍👏
And yes, Richard must be a pleasant man to work with. Every movement is assured and tought of in advance. A pleasure to watch ! 😁
Now that I see the engine, all of your explanations fall into place. This is a great engine and an awesome idea of being able to use all 3 systems as and when needed.
Lovely as always...when I was first introduced to Tally ho, I binge watched two years worth in a weekend, havent looked back since..(except to watch again!) I'm a Tally ho junky now.👍🏻😊
Your skills as a cinematic artists have grown so much! Unintentional benefits from the projects are always the best.
Hybrid engine is really cool! Love the possibilities and redundancy associated with the autonomy that will bring you.
I loved this episode! I was stoked by first engine video and to see this engine arrive, is awesome.
This engine is a strong indication that this sailboat will be a modern wooden sailboat. Not a museum boat. I look forward to seeing more of the modern plans for this classic sailing yacht.
BTW, Richard is the coolest guy.
I must say: apart from the amazing craftmanship I also admire the beautiful scenic shots you make in the harbor, of the boats and the nature, etc. Thanks from the Netherlands!
Well Leo, this is a great moment, congratulations. The other point is, that everytime you turn out a vid, everybody hops on it! It's amazing, 93T views in only 4 hours after release is unheard of. Looking forward to every episode. Great work! Thanks for having the posibility to be part of it. Roland from good old Germany
A real community. Watching from my boat shop in Massachusetts, Cheers!
An Austin Healey Sprite parked under a blanket of snow. Vintage car restorations are great, but this introduction to sail boat restoration is truly a mammoth task. The work is awesome. Well done mate.
This project is still interesting and fascinating. I'm looking forward to the completion of the boat, but somehow fear the end of these episodes. Good that Leo already now is thinking about the sailing videos.
Me too! This is the only channel on U tube that I am a patreon supporter. Nothing else comes close. Nobody has heart like Leo. I could watch these videos for years. Luckily this project takes time to do.
Im so impressed how mother nature can produce such an amazing material as a wood is!
Always love to see "Sir" Richard masterfully crafting each piece he works on! Cheers!
I love how you have adopted a solution that will be zero carbon in every day use but which gives flexibility to sail the world too. That's quite inspiring.
Really loved the music this episode. It's funny how relaxing it is watching all of you work so hard! The ship is looking wonderful! Love all the gorgeous timbers everyone's working with. 😉💕
This has been my favorite episode. Getting stories and views of the old-timers was fantastic.
I love the motor and the systems on it. You can still generate power at anchor with the tidal flow.
Not likely at a meat tidal flow … unless the Nav aids are balled down w/ current.
Love your choise of engine. It´s simplicity for a trustworthy, basic propulsion unit - and modern tech making it the best of two worlds. Nice! You know you you are doing something right when it comes to documenting and sharing too - with 113K views in 6 hours ...
I have been waiting to see the engine since you decided to go with the hybrid diesel system. It is a masterpiece of engineering it looks beefier than I had imagined it would. The coupling that joins the electrics to the prop shaft is beautiful as a stand alone device. Its clearly built as a proper marine power plant. I would love to attend the launching event just to not hear you pull away from the dock under electric power. You had the smile of a kid on Christmas morning after Santa delivered the train set he wanted. Thanks stay safe
That whole engine system is very cool excited to see the power bank it will be connected too.
This is the only channel I know of that consistently receives more views than subscribers. Most channels I watch usually get about views half of their subscribers
Nice to see the chrome bumper MGB huddled under the snow. An early “square rigger” MG might be more appropriate among the wooden boots but rather fitting all the same.
It is nice to see the engine now after you did all the research and vlog on what you was getting cannot wait to see it installed it will look great the red against the the interior of the stern Nice to see some snow ( might not be for you all working in it ) you all take care 😀👍
