The video we've all been waiting years for, Talle Ho under full sail again just like the old pictures of her. One big step toward being ready to sail the world again.
The skills and love and care that went into this yacht are off the scales . unlike factory built boats , Tally Ho has a soul built into her .A part of the men women and parrot who helped build her will sail with her wherever she may roam. May she always find fair winds and friendly sky's.
@danamarlin - $1.00, plus seven years of hard labour, and untold thousands of dollars of building supplies, tools, equipment, shop space rental, boat shed rental, and now marina fees, plus the admin costs of making her legal and insured, plus paid crew, plus ... plus ...
That boat is just BEAUTIFUL! With all five sails...what a work of marine art! Your years invested in it have yielded something that Albert Strange would be SO proud of. It is a joy to watch!
I've been a powerboat person for 68 years. Today I saw something that puts every single one of those 100's of boats to shame. Just beautiful. WOW nothing matches Tally Ho for workmanship, nothing I've seen in 68 years. Wow!
As a sailor myself I must admit that is the most elegant sail configuration that I have seen in a long time. Also that masterpiece does not need a motor. It will do fine in any point of sail. Congrats Leo and your crew.
Seeing Tally Ho under full sail is about the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. And the crew looked absolutely professional. Congratulations to everyone involved.🙂🙂❤❤❤❤❤
The rebuild/restoration of Tally Ho should be added to the national archives of both the USA & the UK....& any other international archive that recognises the importance of the skills & pure endeavour required to achieve this level of craftsmanship, it it a very important archive of information, for future viewers, not simply for boatbuilding enthusiasts, as there are life lessons built into it, for example the positive effects of camaraderie, team work & dedication. Beautifully described & narrated, the level of video editing & content is mind blowing from an amateur, to allow it to be understood by all viewers, regardless of level of technical know how. There are so many inspirational lessons to be learned here.
Leo is no less than a modern genius, in the time-honored disciplines of woodcrafting, boatbuilding, design, outfitting, and general practical problem solving. As I've said before, as a lifelong craftsman myself, I learn something new from every episode. And the footage of Tally Ho under full sail for the first time brought tears of joy. Fact is, I love this project, and the hope it gives me as I head into my eighth decade of life. Cheers, and fair winds! DC
Very well-said @davidcoopper256 …. And me too 7th decade “Fact is, I love this project, and the hope it gives me as I head into my eighth decade of life. Cheers, and fair winds!” There are still people, particularly young people, out there dedicated to quality work and general principled values. Cheers and God Bless you.
This has to be my favourite channel on TH-cam. I watch many boat building or boat work channels, but the level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and plain quality is absurdly high. Tally Ho will surely win many many prizes. keep it up and thanks for the extra video.
Hi,”Tally Ho”looks more than beautiful…she is stunning under a full set of sails,she is a credit to you all and you should be very proud of yourselves,well done does not seem to be enough praise,cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
I have watched both tally ho, Clarke Easterling’s windy hill foundry and Keith Rucker’s vintage machinery separately for years so glad you guys could use them to restore this master piece. Thanks for sharing.
All of you have created a museum quality reproduction vessel. I am in awe of the highest quality workmanship/craftsmanship that you have applied and been incredibly successful with. This series of videos provides an enduring history for future generations to see and appreciate what it takes (and took over a 100 years ago) to create such a beautiful craft. Congratulations and thank you for bringing us along on your journey!!
What an amazing, beautiful piece of functional art you have created. I doubt this level of love and craftsmanship has gone into crafting a sailing yacht in the last 50 or more years. Probably very few yachts ever have had every nut, bolt, board, sail, system so meticulously crafted with so much care and purpose. This yacht will no doubt be known throughout the yachting community for generations. Hopefully Leo will be able to someday see his grandchildren on this masterpiece.
Wow.... Leo....!! Seeing that boat with all those sails up and doing what they were designed to do just gave me butterflies in my belly. I can see why you love sailing and boat building so much. The craftmanship with which you installed that capstan is just another example of the outstanding quality of work you guys do. It makes me proud to have donated to your efforts. Thanks again for sharing you journey with us.
I watched a lot of Keith’s content on the capstan and he did a great job on not only restoring it, but also showing the process. Very grateful for content creators/craftsmen such as you and him who take the extra step to document the process
What impresses me about your filming of jobs around the boat is the way they touch anyone who has done work on a wooden boat. Bob's trick with masking the bedding for example. It puts me right on board with you. It's good for the soul. Thank you.
As one of those who has watch the Tally Ho rebuild in real-time, seeing it under full sail produced strong emotions in me that I cannot begin to describe. I watched my first video on July 21, 2017. I have watched each and everyone as they were posted, mostly every two weeks.
A beautiful piece of history restored and alive again. Everyone who has been involved should feel so proud of being a part of this historical time. Thankyou for keeping me entertained and captivated for all these years
Hi Guys, I've been watching your progress from the start here in New Zealand and haven't missed an episode. I watched this mornings episode with a tear in my eye to see a full mast of sails. What you guys have done is truely inspiring and great to see in a throwaway world. May she last another 120 odd years! Well done. 😁
I can't believe I've been following this for seven years, while I've slid into my dotage, waiting for the sight of Tally Ho with all the laundry out. Beautiful.
Don't forget David Webster, who designed/produced the automated aspect of this updated capstan. That piece, just as the rest of the classy lady, was a team effort.
Keith Rucker-Machining/Organizing, Dave Webster-Power operation design/machining, Clark Easterling (and crew)-Foundry work, Dave Clark- Pattern making. Don't know about Mr. Webster, but all others donated hundreds of hours of time and vast amounts of ingenuity to the project. If it all were billable time, that may have become one of the most expensive capstans, for its size, in history.
@@oleran4569 Capstan role of honour! I wonder if Leo has a list of all the people who have added their energy and expertise to the resurrection of Tally Ho? This series of videos is an incredible record but I'm imagining a literary log of the process, in the form of a book could be a worthy addition to important documents carried by her. Even a book telling the story from Leo's perspective (a biography) could become a popular piece of 'merch' and an interesting read. I have no doubt there are many writers in the audience :)
as is every component of a well built craft of this type....even the everyday working boats in the past. the cloud of sail is dramatic and quite a beautiful sight to see. if the handling and ballasting are as reported, those 'invisible' elements are remarkable. it wonderful to get the primary capstan in place,
Absolutely beautiful....my grandfather was a sailor in the merchant marines for much of his life...ran away from home in the Netherlands at 12 and never went back...I never got to meet him unfortunately...the wealth of knowledge he had is something I wish I could've tapped into...all your videos remind me if what he must have done..thank you for taking us all along with you...been watching from the beginning..can't wait to see the future of your sailing adventures
I'm actually in the middle of rewatchng the series and it's crazy to see Tally Ho going from getting new frames installed to being at full sail. What an amazing project!
Absolutley friggin' gorgeous!! If seeing Tally Ho under full sail makes me feel this good, I can't imagine the how this makes you feel. What a great job leo and crew.!!!!!
I know nothing of sailing, but I can't imagine one person sailing this alone. It looks like so much work. I know it's a boat, but it seems more like a work of art with those sails full in the wind. Man, how I envy anyone who has this kind of dream and can fulfill it. Hats off, captain.
You'd need one person to steer, even if you could handle all the sails with one person. That person probably could manage the sails in light winds but everything would be much slower, and would leave sails flapping, which wears them. In stronger winds you really need multiple people for some jobs, like folding a sail to put it away. Sailing is a team game though, you need people to chat to on long passages, or to keep watch while others sleep, and to give you any chance of surviving if you fall over-board. I'm sure Tally Ho will have an auto-helm before long, and they could use the capstan to help hoist the main sail and yard, but I expect she'll always have a crew. If solo-sailing was the goal, Leo would have built a boat half the length and a tenth of the cost.
Oh yes. I remember two of the solo-around-the-world guys on French radio a few years back, talking about the effects of sleep deprivation - tl;dr you go nuts. One spent days on end sailing with an imaginary shipmate. The other started believing that the waves were fields and the white patches of foam were cows...
After all these years it is an absolute pleasure to see Tally Ho under full sail. Well done to the finest craftsmen on the Planet. Hoorah Hoorah Hoorah from Melbourne Australia.
Wow, Leo... The phrase "I'm a boatbuilder and a sailor" does not do justice to the incredible craftsmanship that you and your amazing crew (everyone who has worked on Tally Ho) continually exhibit. Well done sir! An amazing piece of history lives again.
Wow! I can only imagine how good it feels to see all the sails flying, and the immense sense of satisfaction that accompanies such a huge accomplishment. Equally as rewarding must be the community that you have lead through the entire process. Both the boat and the community will provide a lifetime of support for all your future endeavours.
I never fully appreciated the phrase " does my heart good" until I saw Tally Ho under full sail with her faithful skipper at the tiller. After all these years of talent, determination and charm!
Its become the norm to have my breath taken away by Tally Ho. She is achingly beautifull under full rig!!!! I'd give a kings ransom to have been able to see her in the flesh during the build. She's still on my bucket list. Absolutely gorgeous Leo. Thank you.
Tally Ho under full sail took my breath away. Magnificent sight and certainly testimony to the astounding talent of the amazing team. The reworking of the capstan to accommodate motorisation and the fitting thereof - pure genius!!
Oh my golly gosh! She is stunning. There aren't the right words to really describe just how beautiful Tally Ho is. Magnificent. I am so proud of each of you and your Master craftsman skills. Thank you for sharing all your talents with us. Cheers!
I've loved watching these restoration videos. The quality of materials and the skills of the "crafts" men and women doing the work have been consistently excellent and educational. It was wonderful to see the video of TALLY HO with the topsails up. And I ran into a bonus with a detailed story in Wooden Boat Magazine including photos of the building of the deck & companionway hatches on TALLY HO!
Wow! What a journey, and what a beautiful sail boat. After all this time watching Tally Ho being built, and then finally seeing her moving across the water with all 5 sails was a vicariously emotional moment as a layman viewer. I have no sailing experience whatsoever, but the way Leo has edited and presented these episodes is simply amazing to me, and it is why I watch and eagerly await the next episode. Why this channel does not have a couple million subscribers is beyond my comprehension. I'm looking forward to finally seeing the capstan installed and operating. The vicarious journey continues. TALLY HO!
First of all, what a pleasure to see Tally Ho under a full set of sails! This episode was also a wonderful reminder of the beginnings about six years ago, when Leo still worked mostly alone and could actually spend time doing the work himself. The journey is now coming full circle and I'm looking forward to the sailing adventures ahead.
Really nice to see the rope and tackle used to raise the capstan up and over the gunnel. Too many people don't realize what can really be done with ropes and pulleys.
Although I do not know exactly when I started watching, I KNOW it was close to the beginning. I watched EVERY installment and so looked forward to every new one. NOW we are watching the icing on the cake. It is truly amazing to have watched this craft being brought back to life. I can only imagine the THRILL for all of you as you put the TALLY HO through her paces. Such a dedicated, talented, and skillful crew is a pleasure to watch. Thank you,. I look forward to the next installment.
So cool! I follow Keith at Vintage Machinery and watched all the capstan videos plus the pattern making plus the foundry work lol. It is so satisfying to see it going back on the boat. Seeing all five sails up, well words fail me right now. I continue to be so impressed with the craftsmanship on every piece of the boat and enjoy watching the woodworking aspect. I recently went through and rewatched from the beginning and was blown away how this project has grown and progressed through the ups and downs. Leo has done something so rare in that he had a dream, the skill to execute, the perseverance to stick to it, the admin and management savvy to organize an ever larger group of folks and see the next step before it happens. THREE CHEERS FOR TALLY HO!!
She looks complete with all the sails up and really moving along with minimal wind. I bet Keith was really excited to see the capstan installed. Such a great job all of you. Thanks for making us feel like we were a part of it.
I've watched every episode of your journey and couldn't wait for this day to arrive.. I can't even begin to imagine how excited and apprehensive the tally ho team must have been.... What an absolute joy it was to see her in full sail.... Simply stunning Leo... We'll done everybody, you must feel such a huge sence of achievement and pride.... 👍
I stumbled upon this way back in the early days. I think Leo had only made a few videos at that stage. It became part of my Sunday evening routine and I'm just stunned at what they have created. She truly is a stunning piece of craftmanship and engineering. I am humbled by the drive, determination and skill from all involved. She is a masterpiece. Everyone involved should be proud.
Ep. 193 popped into my feed a couple of weeks ago, I'm not sure what took so long as I've been living on my narrowboat for the last 4+ years. I've now caught up, of course and I wanted to let you know that I found your entire efforts a joyous experience. Thank you, thank you.
Sailing with four sails up, Tally Ho looks serenely beautiful, waiting with baited breath for the top sail to be hoisted. Oh my goodness, there she is with her full wardrobe of sails hoisted, what an exquisite lady.
Hard to express the admiration and wonder of the combined accuracy and tolerance of wood and machinery disciplines…in a boat…whose first objective is not to sink but then goes so demandingly on from there. I’ve watched every video and expect to watch all the rest. Love the views in full sail. You should do a side by side of that early shot in full sail and her full trim now. 🙏🙏🙏
I am actually in tears. She is so beautiful with a bone in her teeth and all her petticoats a-flying! New income stream idea: I would pay roundly just to hoist the Topsl and then hold the tiller for a few minutes on a beam reach.
I enjoy watching the Tally-Ho crew working sails and learning the ropes of seamanship. From black/white printed stories and grainy photos and film, this part of the journey of Tally-Ho promises to bring color and a modern admiration of sailing ships. Already, I am in wonder at the fearlessness of sea captains of years past....
What a fantastic sight to see her under full sail and to moving so sweetly. She is a massive credit to you all, those present and those past who have worked to get her to this stage.
WHAT a gorgeous sight - TALLY HO with her complete sail wardrobe! I think I‘m going to sell my marconi-rigged sloop and buy a gaff-rigged boat. Wonderful!
Maybe the best episode yet. Editing was spot on. Leaving the sound of the wind as the plinth was bedded was the icing on an all ready perfect cake. Best yet.
I can’t imagine the feelings of the crew who have worked so hard on Tally Ho to finally be out on the water under full sail. Congrats to all of you for an incredible job. I can’t wait to see the adventures at sea that are to come. Fantastic job!❤😊
As the build inches ever closer toward completion, I begin to anticipate the sad day when the last weekly construction video is posted.😞. It has been such an amazing process to witness the re-birth of Tally Ho.. a once in a lifetime series presentation.
Hundreds of thousands of "Capstan Nerds" are gasping that the coating/paint company did not document the process of applying the finish to the capstan on TH-cam! Looks fantastic!
@@musicbro8225 Not really. I spent a couple decades working in an industrial paint facility. I have heard of flame spraying as a repair process used by machinists to repair shafts etc. I have never heard of it used as a coating process and was curious to see if it was the same process and equipment as used by machinists. I would have found a video covering the coating/painting process to be of interest.
As a woodworker, modest furniture maker, Leo and Company have taught me the greatest wood craftsmen are boat builders. I'm happy to say I've been with this Tally Ho odyssey from the beginning and the reward is to see Tally Ho glide on the waves. What a beauty!
Seeing that magnificent boat under full sail would bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has watched your channel for the last six years. Thank you all so much for making this possible. Of course, watching the capstan come to life in the foundry and then in Keith Rucker's workshop also makes that chapter exciting.
What a picture Tally Ho fully dressed, a proper, proper sailboat, with all that sail she should thunder through the water. With yet even more detailed fitting and drilling with another piece of original Tally Ho, now fully motorised, as they don't make um like that anymore and lucky the guys are still around that can restore it very almost back to new but motorised with the drive shafts and gearing, engineering at it best. Hats off to all the craftsmen and woman bringing a working smile to Tally Ho again.
I haven't been following right from the beginning but 5-6 years now. It is so awesome to see her in the water and under sail. She is an amazingly beautiful and graceful boat. Thanks Leo and a cast of thousands. Ya'll made it happen and I got to watch.
She is absolutely beautiful . sailing under the full rig in all her glory. She looks like nothing I have every seen before, other then in books , mags and Tv. She is magnificent, everyone who has worked on her should be very proud. You have done a wonderful thing by bringing that old gal back from the grave. Very inspiring.

Wow, such a beautiful sight.
I've been watching since around the 10th video and this really does feel like the video I have been waiting for all this time. Great video!
I would like to know details about how that topsail is secured in place. All I could make out was them hoisting the sail on a halyard. 10:38

Really nice to see all the sails full of wind. She looks beautiful.
Her wings!
Who knew that even a capstan plinth could be a work of art.
As usual, an amazing marriage of meticulous detail and function.
A joy to behold!
After years of watching the progress from the start, seeing Tally Ho moving again with a full complement of sails just put a big smile on my face.

It's incredible. Every piece of wood on Tally Ho, no matter how mundane it's function, is a work of art.

Seeing her under full sail is truly a magnificent sight!
I love the crumpling sound of the sails- like a great brown paper parcel that unfurls to a flight of white birds.
Made me go all poetic.
All of you must be so proud, tally ho looks absolutely stunning with the full set of sails up
Wow! I can only imagine how good it feels to see all the sails flying, and the immense sense of satisfaction that accompanies such a huge accomplishment. Equally as rewarding must be the community that you have lead through the entire process. Both the boat and the community will provide a lifetime of support for all your future endeavours.
I never fully appreciated the phrase " does my heart good" until I saw Tally Ho under full sail with her faithful skipper at the tiller. After all these years of talent, determination and charm!
Perfect phrase for the occasion.
Seeing er under sail does my heart good as well!
Such an amazing journey to witness.
at the helm.
Its become the norm to have my breath taken away by Tally Ho. She is achingly beautifull under full rig!!!! I'd give a kings ransom to have been able to see her in the flesh during the build. She's still on my bucket list. Absolutely gorgeous Leo. Thank you.
Tally Ho under full sail took my breath away. Magnificent sight and certainly testimony to the astounding talent of the amazing team.
The reworking of the capstan to accommodate motorisation and the fitting thereof - pure genius!!
Oh my golly gosh! She is stunning. There aren't the right words to really describe just how beautiful Tally Ho is. Magnificent. I am so proud of each of you and your Master craftsman skills. Thank you for sharing all your talents with us. Cheers!
Love it when modern technologies are blended seamlessly with the traditional crafts. CAD being used extensively - Cardboard Aided Design 👍
I've loved watching these restoration videos. The quality of materials and the skills of the "crafts" men and women doing the work have been consistently excellent and educational. It was wonderful to see the video of TALLY HO with the topsails up. And I ran into a bonus with a detailed story in Wooden Boat Magazine including photos of the building of the deck & companionway hatches on TALLY HO!
Nothing more beautiful than a fully sailed ship.
Wow! What a journey, and what a beautiful sail boat. After all this time watching Tally Ho being built, and then finally seeing her moving across the water with all 5 sails was a vicariously emotional moment as a layman viewer. I have no sailing experience whatsoever, but the way Leo has edited and presented these episodes is simply amazing to me, and it is why I watch and eagerly await the next episode. Why this channel does not have a couple million subscribers is beyond my comprehension. I'm looking forward to finally seeing the capstan installed and operating. The vicarious journey continues. TALLY HO!
First of all, what a pleasure to see Tally Ho under a full set of sails! This episode was also a wonderful reminder of the beginnings about six years ago, when Leo still worked mostly alone and could actually spend time doing the work himself. The journey is now coming full circle and I'm looking forward to the sailing adventures ahead.
Can't wait to see her perform in stronger winds. She's a thing of beauty - what a reincarnation!
Really nice to see the rope and tackle used to raise the capstan up and over the gunnel. Too many people don't realize what can really be done with ropes and pulleys.
Although I do not know exactly when I started watching, I KNOW it was close to the beginning. I watched EVERY installment and so looked forward to every new one. NOW we are watching the icing on the cake. It is truly amazing to have watched this craft being brought back to life. I can only imagine the THRILL for all of you as you put the TALLY HO through her paces. Such a dedicated, talented, and skillful crew is a pleasure to watch. Thank you,. I look forward to the next installment.
So cool! I follow Keith at Vintage Machinery and watched all the capstan videos plus the pattern making plus the foundry work lol. It is so satisfying to see it going back on the boat. Seeing all five sails up, well words fail me right now. I continue to be so impressed with the craftsmanship on every piece of the boat and enjoy watching the woodworking aspect. I recently went through and rewatched from the beginning and was blown away how this project has grown and progressed through the ups and downs. Leo has done something so rare in that he had a dream, the skill to execute, the perseverance to stick to it, the admin and management savvy to organize an ever larger group of folks and see the next step before it happens. THREE CHEERS FOR TALLY HO!!
She looks complete with all the sails up and really moving along with minimal wind. I bet Keith was really excited to see the capstan installed. Such a great job all of you. Thanks for making us feel like we were a part of it.
Like the way Leo pauses gets a cup of tea and ponders on next steps this is the art of excellence. Kind regards Tim
Nice to see someone aboard Tally Ho, who knows how to use a “union purchase” to lift a load aboard a ship. Job well done!
I'm sure my grandfather would have a little tear in his eye, seeing this Congratulations Leo, and all your team
Seeing Tally Ho under full sail…. HOLY… WOW!!! 😮😮😮. A day a long time coming!
I've watched every episode of your journey and couldn't wait for this day to arrive..
I can't even begin to imagine how excited and apprehensive the tally ho team must have been....
What an absolute joy it was to see her in full sail.... Simply stunning Leo...
We'll done everybody, you must feel such a huge sence of achievement and pride.... 👍
It is so rewarding for us who have watched from the beginning to see Tally Ho under sail. Looking forward to more of that!
I stumbled upon this way back in the early days. I think Leo had only made a few videos at that stage. It became part of my Sunday evening routine and I'm just stunned at what they have created. She truly is a stunning piece of craftmanship and engineering. I am humbled by the drive, determination and skill from all involved. She is a masterpiece. Everyone involved should be proud.
Good lord! She's magnificent looking with her sails up! Such a beautiful boat! 😍⛵️
Ep. 193 popped into my feed a couple of weeks ago, I'm not sure what took so long as I've been living on my narrowboat for the last 4+ years. I've now caught up, of course and I wanted to let you know that I found your entire efforts a joyous experience. Thank you, thank you.
Sailing with four sails up, Tally Ho looks serenely beautiful, waiting with baited breath for the top sail to be hoisted. Oh my goodness, there she is with her full wardrobe of sails hoisted, what an exquisite lady.
Hard to express the admiration and wonder of the combined accuracy and tolerance of wood and machinery disciplines…in a boat…whose first objective is not to sink but then goes so demandingly on from there. I’ve watched every video and expect to watch all the rest. Love the views in full sail. You should do a side by side of that early shot in full sail and her full trim now. 🙏🙏🙏
I am actually in tears. She is so beautiful with a bone in her teeth and all her petticoats a-flying! New income stream idea: I would pay roundly just to hoist the Topsl and then hold the tiller for a few minutes on a beam reach.
What a sight to see, just like the old photo. it’s a beautiful day for Tallyho and her crew.
I enjoy watching the Tally-Ho crew working sails and learning the ropes of seamanship. From black/white printed stories and grainy photos and film, this part of the journey of Tally-Ho promises to bring color and a modern admiration of sailing ships. Already, I am in wonder at the fearlessness of sea captains of years past....
HER TIME HAS COME!!!! A BEAUTIFUL BOAT UNDER SAIL!! Magnificent job to everyone who helped to save her!!!!
The craftsmanship on this vessel is beyond an accurate description. Truly truly amazing.
What a fantastic sight to see her under full sail and to moving so sweetly. She is a massive credit to you all, those present and those past who have worked to get her to this stage.
WHAT a gorgeous sight - TALLY HO with her complete sail wardrobe! I think I‘m going to sell my marconi-rigged sloop and buy a gaff-rigged boat. Wonderful!
Tally Ho with her full complement of sails is like a fine lady in her party dress! Just gorgeous!
She's looking glorious Leo, congratulations to everyone that gave her a new lease of life, you should all be really proud of what you've done so far.
Maybe the best episode yet.
Editing was spot on.
Leaving the sound of the wind as the plinth was bedded was the icing on an all ready perfect cake.
Best yet.
Never seen anything as beautiful as the three head sails set .
nothing compares to a well built fully rigged boat, she is Beautiful, an absolute tribute to you and your teams skills.
This landlubber has a tear or two after seeing Tally ho under sail. Congratulations Leo. You have quite a jewel there.
Congratulations for FINALLY being able to recreate that iconic photo of her under full sail! That is such a beautiful sight!
I can’t imagine the feelings of the crew who have worked so hard on Tally Ho to finally be out on the water under full sail. Congrats to all of you for an incredible job. I can’t wait to see the adventures at sea that are to come. Fantastic job!❤😊
She is breathtaking! 💚
As the build inches ever closer toward completion, I begin to anticipate the sad day when the last weekly construction video is posted.😞. It has been such an amazing process to witness the re-birth of Tally Ho.. a once in a lifetime series presentation.
Hopefully replaced with weekly adventure updates
Leo said years ago that he’s intending to do sailing videos when they get the yacht in water
Hundreds of thousands of "Capstan Nerds" are gasping that the coating/paint company did not document the process of applying the finish to the capstan on TH-cam! Looks fantastic!
Is there a link to that?
@@kwbarnes1 Sorry I meant DID NOT - I edited
hahaha! no kiddin'!
@@kwbarnes1
@@musicbro8225 Not really. I spent a couple decades working in an industrial paint facility. I have heard of flame spraying as a repair process used by machinists to repair shafts etc. I have never heard of it used as a coating process and was curious to see if it was the same process and equipment as used by machinists. I would have found a video covering the coating/painting process to be of interest.
Oh wow guys how beautiful Tally Ho looked with all her sails up. Congratulations to you all🙏 greetings from the south coast of Ireland😃
Good to see the old girl under sail, with all sails. Great job to all of the folks who helped bring new life into this beautiful ship.
As a woodworker, modest furniture maker, Leo and Company have taught me the greatest wood craftsmen are boat builders. I'm happy to say I've been with this Tally Ho odyssey from the beginning and the reward is to see Tally Ho glide on the waves. What a beauty!
Seeing that magnificent boat under full sail would bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has watched your channel for the last six years. Thank you all so much for making this possible. Of course, watching the capstan come to life in the foundry and then in Keith Rucker's workshop also makes that chapter exciting.
What a picture Tally Ho fully dressed, a proper, proper sailboat, with all that sail she should thunder through the water. With yet even more detailed fitting and drilling with another piece of original Tally Ho, now fully motorised, as they don't make um like that anymore and lucky the guys are still around that can restore it very almost back to new but motorised with the drive shafts and gearing, engineering at it best. Hats off to all the craftsmen and woman bringing a working smile to Tally Ho again.
I haven't been following right from the beginning but 5-6 years now. It is so awesome to see her in the water and under sail. She is an amazingly beautiful and graceful boat. Thanks Leo and a cast of thousands. Ya'll made it happen and I got to watch.
She is absolutely beautiful . sailing under the full rig in all her glory. She looks like nothing I have every seen before, other then in books , mags and Tv.
She is magnificent, everyone who has worked on her should be very proud. You have done a wonderful thing by bringing that old gal back from the grave. Very inspiring.
I openly wept to see Tally Ho in full sail, looking beautiful and confident. Everyone involved in the project has the right to feel very proud.
had something in my eyes also .............
