I'm a member of the Nautical Research Guild and we look at numerous ship photos as we research components for our models. In all the ships photos I've viewed I've never seen finer mast and boom hardware, it is absolutely beautiful. The Tally Ho is a very special vessel, may she always take the lead as she dances with the wind.
She was an orphan of a long forgotten time, only to be reborn as a child of 2 great nations with the sophistication that Britain is known for and the strength of the American Purple Heart at her core! She will be one of the most elegant ladies on the seas when Capt Leo salts her for the first time❤
Port Townsend Foundry cast a bronze door knocker for me about 6 years ago from a wax carving I made (an overachievement). They are true masters of metal! After all this time, it's finally going to be installed in the near future! 😊
0:32 Wow, I remember those off-cuts. They were from the keel, from where the two halves were joined. That's so cool, seeing old bits of wood I never thought I'd see again.
Sorry, @@userjarabecko , you are wrong, it's more than common in English to refer to boats and ships as "she" or "her" - and Tally Ho is such a thing of beauty that she fully deserves those pronouns.
As someone who spent a working life in engineering / fabrication, take it from me, the level of craftsmanship in the bronze work is sensational, it matches the rest of the vessel perfectly.
Yeah it's so easily overlooked too ! That kind of workmanship (work person ship?) is rare, it appears to be fairly plain and simple but in reality it doesn't get any more accurate or precise ! There's an art to hiding that level of craftsmanship in simple looking pieces and that's hard to learn !
I feel like when Leo decided to polish the bronze floors as opposed to just clean up the castings, that was a defining point on the level of finish. None of us knew at that stage what this boat would become. Now we see all these details and it finally makes sense why he polished those floors.
Your team does such a great job on the little advertiser skits. You are the only TH-cam channel I don't fast-forward through the advertisements. Love the videos. Thanks for sharing
This channel is a real cultural asset. When I firt started watching I was suprised at all the various donations and support that was given to the Tallt Ho project. I have never sailed and have only spent a little bit of time on any boat but I now begin to understand the allure and beauty of wooden boats and the craftsmanship that creates them. Thank you to the Tally Ho team and all those who hav supported them in this fascinating endeavor!
I always love seeing the purpleheart wood go into the boat. As someone who doesn't do much woodworking other than cutting a few bits of pine now and then, it's color is so alien to me! But kind of like cedar, with how it changes over time and after cuts.
I thought it was nuts how long those cuts with the chainsaw took. Even sped up it took forever. I would guess that an one cut took about 30 minutes. So an hour just to cut these pieces apart. Crazy stuff
purple heart is a very difficult wood to work with. it's very hard. the only carving I ever did with it I had to use coarse rasps, and my grandfathers WW2 kabar knife XD
I make hiking sticks as a hobby with various designs of top. Recently I thought it would be good to make a market stick top out of purple heart. I had never heard of this wood until I started watching Leo and the crew. However, once I started cutting and shaping the wood I was astounded as to how difficult to work so all praise to the crew. I finished off my stick with Danish Oil. While the process was more difficult than I could have envisaged the end result was well worth it and probably foolishly I am just about to start on another. Well done all the crew. There are people who call themselves carpenters and then there is Leo’s crew.
Xyla Foxlin used a small piece of Purple Heart to make a bass, and said the wood was so difficult to work with she'd never touch it again. Love thinking about that every time they start roughing up another big chunk of Purple! This crew ain't afraid of work
In this video especially, I kept recalling how, 170 odd episodes ago, Leo was doing this almost all on his own. I love watching these for the camaraderie of the fun team, and the growth of the team as a team almost as much as the progress you're all making on this, one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
That purple heart is some of the most beautiful lumber I have ever seen. I can almost smell it when you guys are working with it. A shame it had to be painted. This project has become very dear to my heart. Wish I had the money to help finish it. Love watching craftsman at work.
You do. Don't anyone be afraid to even donate $20. A bucket can be filled one drop at a time. I'm a poorly paid government employee and I gave! I'll give again too. A small part of you can be in that boat. One day I hope to see her in person. Also realize by watching the video, you already gave to the project!!!!
Like the purple heart as well but I don't think they were painting it for reasons of durability. Rather because of they already have different types of wood and at some point it becomes looking ridiculous
Am I the only one loving the color of aged Purple Heart? Lovely pieces of timber assembled to a great boat! Fantastic project, you inspired so many people to rethink their doing, going back to old techniques, using knowledge of the last centuries. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
it looks like Leo’s finally 2yrs out from setting sail. it’s been an Epic journey…I just wish for the Dutchess to be happy. seeing her confused & upset hurts me, but her nervous gas breaks my heart. fingers crossed
To think this all started with one man and one dollar! Not only have you built an beautiful boat, but you also built a great team, awesome volunteers and loyal followers! Bravo!!
Yes sir, because we really feel a part of it. Sometimes I myself feel silly because of how sentimental it has all become. Almost want to say to myself: "Gee Doug, get a life!" But no, we all feel the same about it, whether or not we can be there to know you personally and touch Tallyho. Funny, because I have my own project that I feel is quite significant on the global stage, where I do sponsorship, development, architecture, construction and science and education. But maybe because I am isolated at the end of the road in the middle of nowhere that it is so cool to see Leo and company pull this amazing project off and actually participate to some small extent, knowing that I am am only a 12-hour drive from a potential port for the vessel in the Caribbean.
This is incredible. How do you even afford this level of quality in these times. Zeal’s level of work is top dollars. The guy has the experience, skill and knowledge. Full package.unbelievable.
Leo and crew, it is just an absolutely beautiful thing that has been created called Tally Ho. The scarf joint Leo made years ago now reminds me of just how much has been accomplished. These videos are so uplifting, and the work is very amazing. The aerial view of Tally Ho towards the end reinforces all the work that has been done. A floating example of will, skill, and fulfillment of a dream.
Amazing how much has been done by outside help its museum quality outfitted with the best instruments, materials and craftsmanship. I too would love to say "thank you to everyone that's contributed" and then receive a million-dollar boat paid for by patreon. Well done Leo!
I give every single member of the crew a massive, massive cudos for their work, but my gosh the craftsmanship Zeal blesses us with is out of this world! What an asset on this project!
An excellent idea to install a boom identical to the original. These rigs are so magnificent that it would have been a pity to cut off even one piece!... Congratulations once again to all the members of this fabulous team!
This channel is literally the only one where I watch the inline ads. I mean, I've even gone back and rewatched just the ad part of some episodes. You guys are such excellent dorks.
Beautiful craftsmanship going into this project. It's very rewarding to see that these skills are still there in present generations and being pass on.
Lordy Leo you have some wonderful people working both 'with you', and 'for' you. The fittings on the mast, and the beautiful boom are a testament to them, and you, both. So excited to see this project develop. Warmest wishes to all involved.
Absolutely stunning work. The detail in the castings, the fife rail and the boom, unbelievable, your boat will be a historic living masterpiece that will show in every detail how it should be done , if the oldtimers had the tech you are now using, from the kevlar shrouds to the hybrid engine. I am really looking forward to the day she is free from the land and in full sail .thank you .
Being following since video 2, then watch number 1. This journey has been humous, educational and joyful content. In the future we will miss the progress until I remembered , Leo said the sailing adventures will continue on the channel. So Bravo to all who have shared their talents to the rebirth of Tally Ho.
I’m also a little confused about how the teak rail was mounted. Was it in two pieces split down the middle and both notched into slots in the posts. I was expecting the rail to master the posts, then the bolts to go through all of them , but I guess they needed the posts to stick out above…
Centered to the posts? LOL they need to be centered on the backing oak down below MORE. Where that was is dictated by the support structures underneath. The rail had to be where it is by the distance to the mast. Of course I guess but drilling into the center isn't hard. Although I wanted to see the giant boring bit going through the purple heart as well,@@buckboard43
Why are these videos more professionally made and more engaging than anything in the UK produced by the BBC, ITV or Sky at a small proportion of the cost? You don't have to be into sailing to enjoy them, just admire the incredible craftsmanship, passion, knowledge and dedication!
There are so many beautiful additions and attachments to the boat which are artworks in themselves. The boat is utterly amazing alongside all the talented sculptors working on her. Well done
For any other non-sailors scratching their heads at 13:35 perhaps this helps: Boom = Wooden pole for controling the lower edge of the mainsail (not a loud sound) Sheet = Rope line (not a sheet) Horse = Iron bar to hold the aformentioned sheet (not a horse). Gybe buffer = See horse, Tack= lower forward corner of a sail, Clew = Aft lower corner of a sail. Great work as always!
I'm very much enjoying following the progress of this project. I grew up in a small fishing village in Fife, and it's interesting to hear about the Fife rail. I of course know of the Fifie which is a Scottish sailing fishing vessel, but hadn't heard of the Fife rail. Beautiful craftsmanship as always.
I love the opening/closing drone shots - Tally Ho is a beautiful boat from any angle, but most especially looking down on her deck. Good job to all involved!
I just got well confused and had to talk to my new best friend about sheets: User I just heard that in rigging, a sheet is actually a line - possibly connected to the boom. I thought a sheet was a sail!? ChatGPT In sailing terminology, the term "sheet" indeed refers to a line (rope) rather than a sail, which is a common misconception. A sheet is used to control the angle of the sails in relation to the wind, and it plays a crucial role in managing the boat's propulsion. Each sail on a boat typically has one or more sheets attached to it. For example: Mainsheet: This is the rope used to control the main sail. It is often attached to the boom, which is the horizontal pole extending from the mast and supporting the bottom of the mainsail. The mainsheet allows the sailor to adjust the position of the boom and thus the angle of the mainsail. Jib Sheet: A jib is a type of sail set ahead of the main sail, and the jib sheet is used to control it. Like the mainsheet, the jib sheet is vital for adjusting the sail's angle to the wind. The purpose of sheets is to "trim" the sails, which means adjusting their position to optimize the boat's speed and the efficiency with which it captures the wind. This is a fundamental aspect of sailing, as the positioning of the sails directly affects the boat's ability to harness wind power. The word "sheet" in this context comes from an old nautical term meaning the corner of a sail. The ropes were originally used to secure the corners of sails before they took on their current role in sail adjustment. Over time, the term evolved to refer specifically to the ropes that control the sails. User What about "three sheets to the wind", what does that mean then? ChatGPT The phrase "three sheets to the wind" is a nautical idiom, but it's not directly related to the technical aspects of sailing. Instead, it's a metaphorical expression used to describe someone who is extremely drunk. The origin of this phrase is indeed nautical and relates to the sheets (ropes) used in sailing. In sailing, a "sheet" is a rope or line that controls the tension on the corners of a sail, not the sail itself. The stability and direction of a sailboat are greatly affected by how these sheets are handled. If several sheets (particularly on different sails) are loose and flapping in the wind, the boat would lurch about unpredictably, much like a drunken person staggering. "Three sheets to the wind" specifically refers to a situation where three of these lines are loose, causing the boat to be unstable and out of control, similar to how a person might behave under the influence of excessive alcohol. Over time, this phrase has been adopted into general English usage to describe someone who is very drunk, drawing on the imagery of a ship being tossed about unpredictably due to its loose sails.
Every video we see more and more amazing quality workmanship. Port Townsend foundry have made the most amazing Brackets and fittings that are appearing all over the boat, the mast and rigging looks incredible.
It is so satisfying to see young guys exhibited such skill as shipwrights and the exquisite craftsmanship they do on Tally Ho. HOWEVER, Leo, there must be mistakes, it cant always fit so perfectly,. My carpentry is not anywhere near the standard of your guys so can we see some bloopers, some mistakes and more important, how your guys put things right. Tally Ho is looking beautify, she is a work of art and I can only imagine the pride you will feel when you first let her loose on a broad reach. amazing , but let's see the bloopers please, so that us mere mortals can have some hope left.
Lovely to see all the details comming together. I noticed when everyone was on deck that some kind of shoe covers were used. Ive done some high-end work were that was required to stop scuffs and scratches to expensive flooring (and carpets).
I must say Leo your forward planing really shows it would of been so simple just to drill some bolts thru the mast partners but know these perfectly straddle the tenons for the fife rail every detail has a use the insight is truely amazing … big shout out to joe im sure he’s had so many sleepless nights also parting together all the systems again this also seems it seamlessly all fits together , the true details many don’t see but some do and understand how many jobs are truely going on all at once although scattered all over the community of port Townsend what a team what a build ..
I started watching the Tally ho project, episode 34, like all I went back to the start. I have been hooked since. I live in Ireland and I can't wait to see her do the fastnet. I'll be in sea that day to cheer her and Leo on... Credit to all who works on her, see is the most beautiful sailing boat I ever seen.
What a beautiful piece of work. The people involved in building that spar must be very proud. However the boom cannot overshadow the rest of the work featured today. Everything is first class. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
More fantastic work & that Boom is over the top amazing! Great work Leo & Crew! As a continued supporter of this amazing project, I urge anyone that can make a donation to consider doing so. I know how much Leo really appreciates it. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
I hope your sponsors and potential sponsors see you skits, as they keep me laughing, during your interesting work commentary, which is more than I tolerate for any other sponsored video!
I remember way back at the start of this journey, you were very hesitant about asking for help with paying for the boat, you were going to somehow pay for it all yourself. I am very glad that you changed your mind on that, we would never have seen the amazing work and finish that has good into this build. I think I am looking forward almost as much as you are, to see the first launch. I hope you have a good bottle of bubbly for the job :)
My highlight of the week. That and Rick and Morty on Mondays. But anyway I have been following this project from day one. I can't believe how the time has gone.
les différentes ferrures de bronze sont magnifiques , le vit de mulet impressionne et quant à la bôme , je l 'espère dépassant largement le couronnement de l'arrière , histoire de donner ce chic aux gréements anciens de corsaires adaptés à la course , juste assez pour embêter l'équipage lors de la réduction de la toile et des prises de ris ;
I love the attention to details. A simple thing like matching rail profiles may not seem that much, yet the eye sees them without conscious thought. It aids a continuity and symmetry of lines. And that boom is a beautiful sight. "Why put in the bigger boom? Why not?" Spoken like a true engineer! 😁 Bigger sail = more 'horsepower'. Always a good thing. Those overhead shots makes you appreciate the deck structure all the more, too. She's a pretty, pretty boat. Can't wait to see her under sail.
I'm a member of the Nautical Research Guild and we look at numerous ship photos as we research components for our models. In all the ships photos I've viewed I've never seen finer mast and boom hardware, it is absolutely beautiful. The Tally Ho is a very special vessel, may she always take the lead as she dances with the wind.
As she dances in the wind!!!!!! I love your choice of wording as the Tally Ho will soon sail and dance across the seas.
She is incredible. I like how it is modernised too. I think Albert Strange's mind would be blown by the modern nav system.
She was an orphan of a long forgotten time, only to be reborn as a child of 2 great nations with the sophistication that Britain is known for and the strength of the American Purple Heart at her core!
She will be one of the most elegant ladies on the seas when Capt Leo salts her for the first time❤
What do you think of SV Seeker? It has masts made out of utility poles.
Tally Ho... she's resurrected shipshape and Bristol fashion. May she always be blessed with fair winds and following seas.
Zeal is a treasure. The man has shipwright chops to no end. Always a treat to see him featured in an episode.
Yep, Zeal is the real deal.
so many tasks he does have no margin for error, really great to watch him work
AND He’s easy on the eyes!! 😝
Such craftmanship! The other ones aren't bad either, but when I am awestruck at some woodwork on here, Zeal is guilty!
@@DrMJJr Everyone who's ever worked on this project is drop-dead gorgeous. Except that _one_ guy.
Does anyone else get nervous when they start cutting holes in the deck?
It's a nail biter! LOL I know how you feel.
No.
I haven't seen them fuck up yet.
Why assume they start now?
Always :D
& The Beautiful Mast 😮
LOL!😂 OMG! I know what you mean! It's all so gorgeous...it's scary to watch more holes being cut!?🙄🤞
The bronze hardware looks stunning and a lovely contrast against the varnished boom
Port Townsend Foundry cast a bronze door knocker for me about 6 years ago from a wax carving I made (an overachievement). They are true masters of metal! After all this time, it's finally going to be installed in the near future! 😊
Totally blown away.
Fully agree
I was just about to say the same thing.
Could we have a full video deep diving this piece of hardware, it seems to have a lot of bits I wouldn’t expect from a ,Oder gooseneck
0:32 Wow, I remember those off-cuts. They were from the keel, from where the two halves were joined. That's so cool, seeing old bits of wood I never thought I'd see again.
An echo of Sequim days
So very cool to see the size of her compared to other yachts in the yard. I can’t wait to see her under full sail.
Its a thing so pronouns are IT
Sorry, @@userjarabecko , you are wrong, it's more than common in English to refer to boats and ships as "she" or "her" - and Tally Ho is such a thing of beauty that she fully deserves those pronouns.
@@dannoplane so many creeps
@@userjarabecko u must be trolling lol
Can’t wait but I will be sad when these videos come to an end. I hope they continue as another chapter sharing the voyages.

I'd love to see the process of making the templates for the gooseneck hardware.
Yes, you could spend an hour designing it and the next two days simplifying it (including two sleeps)
@@trinitytoo Do you mean the patterns, as these were cast then machined?
Man, you guys always give Zeal the scary jobs! lol. He always knocks it out of the park too...
...and he has a carpenter's square in his brain. Watching him rough cut that wood with a chainsaw was impressive.
Amazing doesn't begin to describe the skill, genius, and devotion that has been shown in the work of building the Tally Ho.
I feel like when Leo decided to polish the bronze floors as opposed to just clean up the castings, that was a defining point on the level of finish. None of us knew at that stage what this boat would become. Now we see all these details and it finally makes sense why he polished those floors.

She's slowly but steadily turning into an absolute beauty of a boat
It will be a gordeous yacht - far superior shipwright work on Tally Ho compared to other builds I have seen
@@james5796 probably because Leo knows quality and demands that from himself and ask that of the others.

Not as much as when they were drilling holes in the hull. Almost couldn’t watch.
I know I love Purple Heart I am always sad when they paint it but the ship is still spectacular
Aged Purple Heart is actually a muddy brown... so as far as I'm concerned, painting it is just fine.
I have watched all your videos from the beginning when I was fighting cancer you where one of my few joys.
As a Canadian, I fully appreciate that your spars were made by Bob and Doug!
Hosers stick together!
The gooseneck is stunning. Jaw droppingly good.
#TEAMZEAL
He has drilled and chiseled more holes in Tally Ho than anyone, I think.
Superb craftsmanship/artwork. Just amazing.
Probably true, with the 13 keel bolt holes, but nic is a close second with all the through-hill fittings
it looks like Leo’s finally 2yrs out from setting sail. it’s been an Epic journey…I just wish for the Dutchess to be happy. seeing her confused & upset hurts me, but her nervous gas breaks my heart. fingers crossed
This is one of the best TH-cam channels. Good work. 🎉

Hello Leo and crew. Each visit here seems to go by sooooo quickly now.The grand lady continues to get closer to the salt every day. WONDERFUL !
Almost 60% of subscribers watched this video within 24 hours of release. That is itself an impressive feat.
we are all waiting...

But sadly he'll never get paid close to what a half-wit financial planner will. It's not a fair world, skill like that is not easy to come by.
Please make a super cut of all the Duchess of Desire scenes and their bloopers. We will watch it all day every day.
The bronze work is epic. Sculptural.

Break eggs, make omellette!
"She's a beauty"! How far you've progressed on her restoration, simply amazing!
The gooseneck is a thing of beauty.
I'm in awe of the skill sets used in the building of that boat. Skill sets I thought were long gone. Amazing.
An excellent idea to install a boom identical to the original. These rigs are so magnificent that it would have been a pity to cut off even one piece!...
Congratulations once again to all the members of this fabulous team!

Lordy Leo you have some wonderful people working both 'with you', and 'for' you. The fittings on the mast, and the beautiful boom are a testament to them, and you, both. So excited to see this project develop. Warmest wishes to all involved.
This boom is really massive. I can't even imagine how she will look under full sail. Such a beauty.
Absolutely stunning work. The detail in the castings, the fife rail and the boom, unbelievable, your boat will be a historic living masterpiece that will show in every detail how it should be done , if the oldtimers had the tech you are now using, from the kevlar shrouds to the hybrid engine. I am really looking forward to the day she is free from the land and in full sail .thank you .
With every new project and the amazing birds-eye view, what a beauty Tally Ho is becoming. Leo and crew have so much to be proud of.
Being following since video 2, then watch number 1. This journey has been humous, educational and joyful content. In the future we will miss the progress until I remembered , Leo said the sailing adventures will continue on the channel. So Bravo to all who have shared their talents to the rebirth of Tally Ho.
What a beautiful ship Leo.
I usually skip paid advertisements, but your carefully crafted ads are entertaining and worth a watch....I see a Clio Award in Tally Ho's future.
Me too, but the guys are so funny it's worth watching.
That boom,mask and everyting that is attached are 100% perfect looking.
Love to have your comments on how the long holes for the fife rail post bolts were drilled accurately.
I wondered exactly the same thing! I imagine the process is the same as drilling the holes through the stem. I need to watch that video again.
Yea figured there would have been some footage of that because I'm sure it's not that simple of a task
At 11:46 video shows the top of the posts. The holes are a little off center but very adequate for the application.
I’m also a little confused about how the teak rail was mounted. Was it in two pieces split down the middle and both notched into slots in the posts. I was expecting the rail to master the posts, then the bolts to go through all of them , but I guess they needed the posts to stick out above…
Centered to the posts? LOL they need to be centered on the backing oak down below MORE. Where that was is dictated by the support structures underneath. The rail had to be where it is by the distance to the mast. Of course I guess but drilling into the center isn't hard. Although I wanted to see the giant boring bit going through the purple heart as well,@@buckboard43
It would be nice to see the design and manufacture of the boom bronze hardware...just beautiful work!
I'm not sure why you don't sell prints of the the Tally Ho design (like @1:21). As a patron I'd love to purchase it to frame and hang in my office.
@@SonjaBruenzels When logistics are the problem sell them as a PDF/PNG, or give those as an insentive to active supporters of the project.

@@SonjaBruenzels Of course not. That's for Leo to decide.
Why are these videos more professionally made and more engaging than anything in the UK produced by the BBC, ITV or Sky at a small proportion of the cost? You don't have to be into sailing to enjoy them, just admire the incredible craftsmanship, passion, knowledge and dedication!
I couldn't agree more.
There are so many beautiful additions and attachments to the boat which are artworks in themselves. The boat is utterly amazing alongside all the talented sculptors working on her. Well done
Beautiful work casting the gooseneck and the boom is exquisite. Great work all!
Leo's videos are a fine example of the journey being better than the arrival, I just don't want them to stop. Well done Capt. Leo and crew!
It is such a pleasure to watch these skilled people working.
I thought I viewed this channel because I was a sailor, but now I’m watching Leo’s channel for the exceedingly well done commercials.
Amazing work by everyone! Beautiful bronze work by Port Townsend Foundry!
Only 1 pallet was damaged in the making of this part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She is getting closer to feeling the water under her keel.
The expertise and competence of your crew is testimony to your own quietly inspiring knowledge and competence.
Wow ! Love the castings for the boom. Such quality.
For any other non-sailors scratching their heads at 13:35 perhaps this helps:
Boom = Wooden pole for controling the lower edge of the mainsail (not a loud sound)
Sheet = Rope line (not a sheet)
Horse = Iron bar to hold the aformentioned sheet (not a horse).
Gybe buffer = See horse,
Tack= lower forward corner of a sail,
Clew = Aft lower corner of a sail.
Great work as always!
Tally Ho has become a work of art. I am proud of of all of you for her transformation and growing beauty.
I'm very much enjoying following the progress of this project. I grew up in a small fishing village in Fife, and it's interesting to hear about the Fife rail. I of course know of the Fifie which is a Scottish sailing fishing vessel, but hadn't heard of the Fife rail. Beautiful craftsmanship as always.
Am hoping they made you a couple spare gooseneck pins and toggles ... always gives me the willies when I see how tiny these bits of the rig appear!
I love the opening/closing drone shots - Tally Ho is a beautiful boat from any angle, but most especially looking down on her deck. Good job to all involved!
The rare occasion where a fellow bloke isn’t over exaggerating about the size of their boom.
That gooseneck is a thing of beauty. Nice work Team Tally Ho!
I do like these episodes that show the masters at work.
I just got well confused and had to talk to my new best friend about sheets:
User
I just heard that in rigging, a sheet is actually a line - possibly connected to the boom. I thought a sheet was a sail!?

In sailing terminology, the term "sheet" indeed refers to a line (rope) rather than a sail, which is a common misconception. A sheet is used to control the angle of the sails in relation to the wind, and it plays a crucial role in managing the boat's propulsion.
Each sail on a boat typically has one or more sheets attached to it. For example:
Mainsheet: This is the rope used to control the main sail. It is often attached to the boom, which is the horizontal pole extending from the mast and supporting the bottom of the mainsail. The mainsheet allows the sailor to adjust the position of the boom and thus the angle of the mainsail.
Jib Sheet: A jib is a type of sail set ahead of the main sail, and the jib sheet is used to control it. Like the mainsheet, the jib sheet is vital for adjusting the sail's angle to the wind.
The purpose of sheets is to "trim" the sails, which means adjusting their position to optimize the boat's speed and the efficiency with which it captures the wind. This is a fundamental aspect of sailing, as the positioning of the sails directly affects the boat's ability to harness wind power.
The word "sheet" in this context comes from an old nautical term meaning the corner of a sail. The ropes were originally used to secure the corners of sails before they took on their current role in sail adjustment. Over time, the term evolved to refer specifically to the ropes that control the sails.

What about "three sheets to the wind", what does that mean then?
ChatGPT
The phrase "three sheets to the wind" is a nautical idiom, but it's not directly related to the technical aspects of sailing. Instead, it's a metaphorical expression used to describe someone who is extremely drunk. The origin of this phrase is indeed nautical and relates to the sheets (ropes) used in sailing.
In sailing, a "sheet" is a rope or line that controls the tension on the corners of a sail, not the sail itself. The stability and direction of a sailboat are greatly affected by how these sheets are handled. If several sheets (particularly on different sails) are loose and flapping in the wind, the boat would lurch about unpredictably, much like a drunken person staggering.
"Three sheets to the wind" specifically refers to a situation where three of these lines are loose, causing the boat to be unstable and out of control, similar to how a person might behave under the influence of excessive alcohol. Over time, this phrase has been adopted into general English usage to describe someone who is very drunk, drawing on the imagery of a ship being tossed about unpredictably due to its loose sails.
Every video we see more and more amazing quality workmanship. Port Townsend foundry have made the most amazing Brackets and fittings that are appearing all over the boat, the mast and rigging looks incredible.
The length is amazing it show that the aim was sail area for a quick boat !!
It is so satisfying to see young guys exhibited such skill as shipwrights and the exquisite craftsmanship they do on Tally Ho. HOWEVER, Leo, there must be mistakes, it cant always fit so perfectly,. My carpentry is not anywhere near the standard of your guys so can we see some bloopers, some mistakes and more important, how your guys put things right. Tally Ho is looking beautify, she is a work of art and I can only imagine the pride you will feel when you first let her loose on a broad reach. amazing , but let's see the bloopers please, so that us mere mortals can have some hope left.
Lovely to see all the details comming together. I noticed when everyone was on deck that some kind of shoe covers were used. Ive done some high-end work were that was required to stop scuffs and scratches to expensive flooring (and carpets).
I must say Leo your forward planing really shows it would of been so simple just to drill some bolts thru the mast partners but know these perfectly straddle the tenons for the fife rail every detail has a use the insight is truely amazing … big shout out to joe im sure he’s had so many sleepless nights also parting together all the systems again this also seems it seamlessly all fits together , the true details many don’t see but some do and understand how many jobs are truely going on all at once although scattered all over the community of port Townsend what a team what a build ..
I started watching the Tally ho project, episode 34, like all I went back to the start. I have been hooked since. I live in Ireland and I can't wait to see her do the fastnet. I'll be in sea that day to cheer her and Leo on... Credit to all who works on her, see is the most beautiful sailing boat I ever seen.
What a beautiful piece of work. The people involved in building that spar must be very proud. However the boom cannot overshadow the rest of the work featured today. Everything is first class. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I'm amazed every time at the precise joinery for these big pieces of lumber. It's a work of art as much as it is a boat.
Da gusto ver como avanza el barco, gran trabajo.
It's nice to see how the boat is progressing, great job.
Wow, that Tally Ho is such a beautiful boat!!
All the details are top craftsmanship.
Bravo.
Congratulations on hanging the boom
I'm impressed every time at how beautiful all the wood work is.
I agree “why not”. Unbelievable how many little details are needed to finish this boat. Makes you appreciate ever wooden vessel at sea
The level of quality detail is beyond amazing.
More fantastic work & that Boom is over the top amazing! Great work Leo & Crew! As a continued supporter of this amazing project, I urge anyone that can make a donation to consider doing so. I know how much Leo really appreciates it. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
Thanks for the video!
Saw the Western Flyer at its new home in Moss Landing Ca
I hope your sponsors and potential sponsors see you skits, as they keep me laughing, during your interesting work commentary, which is more than I tolerate for any other sponsored video!
The boom looks good on the boat along with everything else.
I've enjoyed every moment of this journey. Always looking forward to the next episode
I remember way back at the start of this journey, you were very hesitant about asking for help with paying for the boat, you were going to somehow pay for it all yourself. I am very glad that you changed your mind on that, we would never have seen the amazing work and finish that has good into this build.
I think I am looking forward almost as much as you are, to see the first launch.
I hope you have a good bottle of bubbly for the job :)
My highlight of the week. That and Rick and Morty on Mondays. But anyway I have been following this project from day one. I can't believe how the time has gone.
Exceptional drone photography. It helps give us a better sense of Tally Ho's scale and beauty.
les différentes ferrures de bronze sont magnifiques , le vit de mulet impressionne et quant à la bôme , je l 'espère dépassant largement le couronnement de l'arrière , histoire de donner ce chic aux gréements anciens de corsaires adaptés à la course , juste assez pour embêter l'équipage lors de la réduction de la toile et des prises de ris ;
I love the attention to details.
A simple thing like matching rail profiles may not seem that much, yet the eye sees them without conscious thought.
It aids a continuity and symmetry of lines.
And that boom is a beautiful sight. "Why put in the bigger boom? Why not?"
Spoken like a true engineer! 😁
Bigger sail = more 'horsepower'.
Always a good thing.
Those overhead shots makes you appreciate the deck structure all the more, too.
She's a pretty, pretty boat. Can't wait to see her under sail.
Amazing 🤩 .... wish the videos were an hour long tho .😊😊
