100. Rebuilding Tally Ho - UP TO NOW! (Traditional Boatbuilding / EP100)
Leo you always say that you're a boatbuilder and a sailor, but you never mention that you're an artist and a filmmaker, which is just as true, and perhaps even more true these past few years. This is one of the most extraordinary and beautiful filmed documentaries ever made, and you will be recognised long into the future not only for Tally Ho, but for this saga.
And clearly a fantastic boss, the kind of person you're glad to work for.
Very well stated. Add me to the list of likeminded watchers.
Leo, boatbuilder, sailor, filmmaker, artist, manager, leader and dreamer.
Honestly at the tail end of this you could sell the footage to Discovery or History and build a made for TV series, not sure you would want to do this but I could certainly see it making a fantastic multipart documentary series
Have enjoyed these videos for four years Leo, keep them coming, they such works of art. For those of us who love boats and craftsmanship, these videos are a real tonic. Then when she finally splashes and you raise her sails, with luck there will be enough support to help sponsor her voyages. Bravo.
The Tally Ho series has to be one of the most interesting and genuinely impressive bits of content on TH-cam, dare I say the internet as a whole. Its attributes extend well beyond boats and woodworking, as does its value.
I think there's so much idealistic fervor, self-reliance, constructive and creative spirit, historical piety and simple human good cheer concentrated in one place, it's a beauty to behold.
amen !!!
What he said!
Imagine building this boat back in the day. No cordless drills, no power tools... It must have been incredible
Lots of people and budget I'm sure though
Slaves, bruh.
Lots and lots of slaves.
@@DiarrheaBubbles true
@@DiarrheaBubbles Britain barely had any slaves as a % of the population, Not only that but they were unskilled labor not master carpenters. Even worse, this boat was build when there were no slaves of any kind at all. People today are to lazy to imagine crews working with manual tools . The "lots of slaves" comment is the pinnacle of ignorance and a bad education system. Disgusting
@@acsiata Bro don't be that guy. Stop watching IDW videos.
Leo, it’s no surprise to the tens of thousands of us who watch and support your project. You have an outstanding personality and boyish charm that lends itself to warm our hearts. I’m so impressed you opened your project to others who have loved to come lay a helping hand on Tally Ho. Best of luck in your coming move. We of course will continue to watch your progress. Thank you!
I started watching back in november 2020, binged through the whole playlist even though I know close to nothing about boats. Honestly, this whole project has been fascinating and I loved every minute spent watching the progress.
Exactly the same here, had a blast getting up to this point.
Me too Joey, lovin this journey learning all the way, amazing crew.
Ditto
Add me to the 'late to the party' list. Ran across this about the same time (Oct/Nov '20) and binged getting up to date. Now a weekly must see, with occasionally backing up a week or two to refresh continuity. Heartfelt thanks to Leo, all his local crews, and to all the folks here that truly make up a community.
Got to see this on the 3rd episode and been hooked ever since.
I am 76, an old shipwrigt and a boatbuilder. It makes my long for bygone days. New ways & methods. Appreciate this very much. Thank You for sharing..
congrats on 4 years, i've been here the whole way through, i personally don't expect recognition from youtubers i watch but your interaction with your community is unique and deeply tied with your community, i hope for another successful 2 years of boat building and 100+ more episodes :) don't stay up too late making your next video leo

This is the sort of reality TV people actually want.
Yes maybe but I really feel it’s more of a real person TV.. Either way u look at it this Vlog proves Dreams do come true!!
The word "reality TV" is a bit of a misnomer, total quality content and unmissable.
This kind of wonderful content really makes it obvious what garbage we, as the masses are being force fed by the main stream media.
It really is
Agreed. This is the type of channel a lot of people are interested in. You may want to argument your video camera and editing to volunteers who don’t have the carpentry and boat building skills but have those skills. Just a thought.
My dad and I built a 17-foot wooden sailboat back in the seventies when I was a kid. (Correction: I watched him build and handed him the tools) He was a carpenter by training and had never built a boat before but decided to try it. He ordered some plans through the mail and went to work. We spent fifteen years sailing around the Chesapeake before he finally sold it and I went off to college. Seeing your work on this boat made me feel like I was watching him all over again...Thanks.
This the most fascinating video series i have ever seen, who knew i was a closet boat builder, you are truly an inspiring person
Sir, you have given way more to us then we could ever give to you! Truly, you have breathed life in to a boat that has a soul and have restored my faith in a younger generation that can show that they to can learn a great skill and use it to create something beautiful. Thank you Leo.
I would like to second that, the sheer determination, skill and just plain pleasantness of Leo and the crew he has assembled, makes old guys like me feel better about the future. I watch each episode with fascination. Hope the change bodes well for the future.
I completely agree. I so appreciate the time you spend giving, as I could never repay. Thank you Leo.
Comment of the day right there. Well said Mr.T
I know it may seem like a lifetime, and yet in retrospect, yes, it has only been a mere 4 years since we chatted online about your future aspirations for Tally Ho. It was back in the early days of this channel, well before many folks had found it. Leo, I am in awe when I think about what you have accomplished. You've made yourself into a world-class, credentialed shipwright, wooden boat builder, artisan, historian and craftsman of the first water. You have managed to create several soon to be six figure businesses, or possibly a non-profit floating marine biology école ou deux, once again created out of thin air, that only a vagabond dreamer and true romantic would have the sheer imagination and courage to have taken on without any fear of failure or expectations of success.
Success has always been a given with you, Leo. People just know it. We have always accepted it as fact, and in listening to you six months ago, back here in Sequim as you were getting ready to transition over to Port Townsend, you speak of leaving it all behind when you've finished with fulfilling your personal commitment to the Albert Strange Association, all in pursuit of the next great adventure. And dammit, I believe you.
This has been an incredible journey, and has made me appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into wood boats even more. We're all looking forward to the next stages of the build at the new location!
I didn’t expect to see Jeff here? Hope red shirt Jeff is getting ideas!
@@Sheppey05 It is a small world….
Yup, "Season 1": The Hull (~4 years). LOL.
On to "Season 2": Top sides, the move, and the interior. (~"2years"). LOL.......
@@SteveMorton it is indeed!
dude there is time 10:21 you should have taken the time.
Is it just me or does this feel like a big family and we are all raising a kid (Tally Ho of course!)?
The heavy timber join at 7:39 has to be one of the most satisfying scenes in this whole build. Such accuracy on such a grand scale is the picture that's worth a thousand words and speaks volumes about the respect for the ship that's been present all through the restoration. That kind of passion and respect for the soul of this craft is what I love to see being made real from all of your and your crew's hard work. As always, thanks for allowing us to go on this adventure along with you!
Leo you are an inspiration. This project has far-reaching consequences and has inspired and influenced great numbers of people. I myself have turbocharged my own boat projects having watched a good portion of your content. It is also refreshing to see young people not obsessing over writing code and other typical career paths. Fortune favors the brave. Well done sir.
This TH-cam channel one can regard as a course for life. Learning, perseverance, craftsmanship team building etc. It is all in the game here and fun. I wish I could join and help.
When you are in season 3 and sailing you will find lots of interesting and grateful people at each of your destinations. And find new ambitions you will fulfill.
Authenticity and historical thoughts are hard to come up with “correct” answers. My take has always been that the vessel would most likely be one of the lost ones that are scrapped or destroyed and in rebuilding and making changes for the longevity of the vessel your just adding to the history. I would love to see an old wooden vessel that hasn’t been changed in some way since it was first built. Ship building is both a science and a fine artwork.
"I don't know if I want to watch a 29 minute recap of stuff I've already seen"
*29 minutes later*
"Oh no, is the video over already?"
Reflection is food for the soul.
A wonderful summation of the last four years - and a frank discussion of what's ahead and what on-going challenges there are. I wish that Leo had that non-profit in place for Tally Ho. I think there are many people here that could donate larger sums than Patreon subscriptions to Leo's bank account, which would help to assure that funding becomes less of an issue in the near term.
For those who haven't, you should go to Leo's web page and read the stories of his adventures before Tally Ho. You'll find he's a pretty good writer in addition to his other talents.
Just got recommended this Video, this montage allone has me hooked... damn now i need to binchwatch 100+ episodes XD. Keep up the good work I am gonna follow from now on!
Suggest not to binge watch. Take a few weeks and watch a few a day. It is much more satisfying.
I also came here on the recommendation and listening to Leo explain the background story along with his story I felt I should apologise that I am so late to the party .
So I’m now going to subscribe and slowly watch the previous videos in the series and from the sounds of it from all the comments I have already read , this is going to be an enjoyable experience.
I work in film and tv and notice that those who have a similar background have commended Leo on his talents as a film maker and editor . With the enormous task he has set himself I totally understand the amount of time that has to be added on top of this for the post production. It is a time consuming job and there are no shortcuts you can take either as there is nowhere to hide with editing or dubbing the sound ( part of my area ). Sounds like he is a man of many talents .
I’m looking forward to this ❤️
Am I the only one who feels a bit guilty hearing Leo thank me for watching his videos? I assure you, the reasons I watch these are entirely selfish: I enjoy them! Yes, I understand views help generate revenue, which in turn help fund the project, but the only reason a person with only a passing interest in woodworking and sailing would watch 100 of these things is because they are interesting, entertaining, and excellently produced. Looking forward to the next 100 videos!
So true!
Guilty for not paying...
@@Zottelini Psst: you can assuage your guilt.....
@@crankyoldguy2 without paying?
@@crankyoldguy2 indeed I tried to give a one time donation some time ago but I didn't manage to
Congrats on 100 episodes!
My seven year old daughter loves this video… she wanted you to know that.
Well done Leo! The first series has been immense, got so many people through Lockdowns and showed that their is so much good in the world. We are all looking forward to the next adventures, the next 100 episodes and watching you grow. Thank you for bringing us all together! 🦜⛵️⚓️🪵👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, you are lucky to be doing what you love. But never put your well-being in second place. Your feelings are valid and overworking yourself is a very real problem regardless of whether it’s work you hate or work you love! Btw, I grew up in rural Somerset too!
Leo, you're a living legend. I am constantly shocked by your progress and your ability to film and edit these videos. From one video creator to a video legend: well done!
Leo always says he is grateful for what we give to him, but he never mentions what he gives to us. A very humble man.
He is inspiring!
Agree entirely thank you Leo
Same here. Thank you Leo for being who you are. You are a role model to me and to many. I will keep that small Tally Ho wood shaving I picked up on your project site as a precious memorabilia.
You are absolutely correct 👍
No true words have spoken. I have probably randomly watched a half a dozen videos or more, but each time my jaw is literally on the floor. I can't believe one person can dream up a project this big and coordinate all of the parts of this project.
What you're doing is unbelievable and extremely worthwhile project not just historically but it's very motivational. Thank you Leo for what you're doing. 👍
Tears in my eyes Leo. This boat stirs something in my soul, and you gave me ownership just because I like and comment and share. Means a lot.
Very nicely put; I completely agree.
well said, Sir.
Me too
but believe me, it feels even better when you contribute a little cash too
Theseus wants to know: Is the Tally Ho still the Tally Ho?
Just because the axe has 6 new handles and 2 new heads doesn't mean its not the same old axe !!
@@doogssmee9742 yes it does it is a complete different axe than what you started with
lmao the comments
I dunno there's gotta be an original nail somewhere right?
I've never felt so close to a project from such a distance. I often wonder where the magic comes from. Is it the insane commitment? The beautiful editing? The incredible people we've met along the way? Tally-ho is the traditional cry made by the huntsman to tell others the quarry has been sighted. Maybe her quarry was to bring us all together. Talley Ho!
t=15:00 "Trapped in this amazing prison of my own making..." Classic.
Everyone is trapped in a prison of their own making.
@@chazarkansas1366 There is an opportunity cost to living the dream. Be careful what you wish for.
Keep in mind that at any time you can walk away if your health requires it or other responsibilities beckon. We do not insist on you continuing this to the end or even require it. No human life is less valuable than an object made by human hands.
I am a little confused though. Unlike most other jobs, we don't mind if the videos are a little slower or shorter, and Leo could hire an editor to get his extra nights sleep. Surely he must have realised this himself if it is at all possible. And I don't see why it wouldn't be.
This channel often goes for the highest quality in everything from little details in the boatbuilding to little details in the video. I deeply hope that Leo doesn't feel pressure to keep up being perfect. We like the project, even if the videos are a little bit less perfect. Yes we will be sad when a video doesn't come out as planned, but what are we going to do?, nonwatch the video and unsubscribe from the channel in protest, hell no, we like the project too much for that.
If you happen to be Leo and you are reading this. Know that you are allowed to make mistakes. You are allowed to struggle. You are allowed to be less perfect sometimes. You are allowed to give yourself some slack.
@@nielskorpel8860 Thanks dude. Whenever I've let other people edit the videos, although they do a great job, it just doesn't feel quite right. But being a perfectionist is one of my biggest faults, I am working on trying to let things go!
As a General Contractor and finish carpenter I can appreciate the amount of labor, blood,sweat and tears involved in this build. You are most definitely insane... keep up the good work !
I thought you handled the whole county controversy in a very positive and mature way. You set a great example of how to resolve a complicated conflict.
incredible and happy to see the progress since the start!! congratulations on the many hurdles and goals achieved !!
You are my favorite builder / creator of all time! Greatly appreciate your work!
You ought to go for a week and help him.
I found this channel after @jimmydiresta mentioned it on the Making It podcast! Super inspiring to me!
Thanks Jimmy! I'll always remember how you helped this channel in our early days. Hope we meet eventually :)
Imagine, you are in the 1300's in the UK. You are "gifted" an old rotten boat with more holes than planks. You sink all your wages into materials and free time into building. Your wife is constantly mad at you for not saving up to buy that horse you've been needing to make the trip to the coastal town easier. Your two son in laws tend the fields but have little respect for a man who doesn't even tend to his own land. After all, that boat is priority number one and you're the only one who thinks it. After 10 years of backbreaking labor, it's done. You are now the ripe old age of 38 and you want to finally start voyaging across the sea. You gloriously set the boat up in the harbor and invite and old friend, a retired sailor, and his son to take a trip to the French port of Brest to sell your grain at a markup to afford some spices to put in that god awful porridge you've been eating for the past week. You sail for 17 days only to see a ship fly the 'ol black flag. A chat window pops up on the lower left of your screen "FishPlunger69: LMAO noob merchant ship GG EZ"
the reason so many are here, are there, are along for the ride is due to YOU. you are worth watching, worth listening to. through your videos we get to live this dream too. thank YOU Leo.
Look at you! Stand up Leo, take a well-deserved bow. When I first heard of your plan years ago, I thought you were nuts. Apparently, one's good mental health was no a pre-requisite to success. Congratulations to you and the team!
hi leo. this is the 1st video iv watch. since then i started watchong your 1st episode. then i reach on this again. i really enjoyed watching you restoring tally ho. im from the philippines where boats once ruled our history and culture. thankyou leo!
You have given dreams hopes accomplishments to your world wide families. Teaching instructing sharing your joys and frustration. That lad is one of the finest things. a person can do. Even though we will not be ever able to sail the blue. This boat has so many sailing with her. She will never be at a port where someone will come to say hello..Even though I live 2200 feet up like many others. Far from the ocean. We will follow every creak wind sound in the shrouds. .Well done.
I am watching this from high up in a valley in the heart of the French countryside. It was really interesting to hear your background and how you'd arrived at Tally Ho. Thank you for sharing, am enjoying every minute.
Schoene Gruesse aus Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Where is the girl from England that used to come and hang out and help??
I am moved by this remarkable and inspirational young man and all of the values and ethics he represents!!!
I absolutely agree. Watch the episode where he talks about the complaining neighbor and the county letters. His positive attitude, forward thinking, understanding of where everyone is coming from and acceptance of what may transpire, he is truly a man for everyone to try and be like. I've known a few men in my life like Leo, but they very few. He's inspiring to watch at all levels.
Leo, we are the ones blessed every couple of weeks to get to see the beautiful work. We get to see the teamwork, friendships and the love of craft documented. Thank you for including so many people in the adventure.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and one day you will live in the the end goal and never look back, when your sailing the seas in this beauty you will have that for the rest of your life and all your time well spend, keep your eye on the end goal
Wow. From Argentina following this project, 4 years... Congratulations, the effort and inspiration is amazing. I have just pass my captain licence
Congratulations!!
Great stuff Leo, really enjoyed your reflections on the first 4 years! I've so much enjoyed the channel, and we'll make a donation to recognise your 100th episode, with grateful thanks from Scotland.
Pure genius, using an old boat as a template to build a new boat. Tally Ho!!!! Michael
I remember when you first looked at the original boat, doesn't seem that long ago.
Poncho really needs to be there every so often for a safety inspection.
Thank you I can never remember
Ponchos name and I look forward to his unrehearsed weekly appearances.
Poncho was probably more qualified for safety inspections than the county.
Inspector Pancho is always keen for a bit of destructive testing to ensure Leo’s only using top quality materials!
An excellent summary Leo. A documented history of the first four years. Local and foreign public broadcasters would love shows like this. Keep it up!! It is worthy of all the donations that we give.
As a former professional video editor, I can attest to the amount of work required to make something good. The quality and creaftsmanship of your videos is one of the reasons you have the following you have. While I'm sure it's not apparent to most of your subscribers, please know that the work you're doing to make the videos as good as the quality of your boat is totally appreciated by some of us!
And I as a regular viewer can say with a hand om my heart that we really love that you put time in to the video making.
As if the inspiration and joy wasn't enough.
Keep up the good work Leo, I would love to one day se tally ho in her full glory in real life!
@@Emil_Nielsen 211 237juccc
It sounds like doing youtube is a bit of a drag for you sometimes. I understand that, especially when you just want to get on with the boat build. But I do hope you keep this youtube channel alive when you start sailing Tally Oh. I always hope you will dedicate this channel to Tally Ho's life on the seas after the build is complete. Something like SV Delos channel. We are all waiting to go on adventures with you 😊
@Popeye So you dont want to see Tally Ho sail the world then?
@Popeye Never mind 🙄
@Popeye Okay. Even though My original comment said nothing about the type of boat being used. Just about sailing the world, like Delos or any other boat. But what ever. You just keep projecting.
I'm a couch potato and a landlubber, and I'm on a mission to see every Tally Ho video ever made.
From episode 1 it always made my day when you uploaded, I've learned so much here, wish I could be a Patron, can't wait to see her in the water!
Can't wait for the "everyone is invited" launch party!
If he ever dus have that launch party I hope it's in the biggest boat yard in port townsant he would need it I would love to be there!
One person who absolutely must be invited is Steve Cross, the Live Oak guy from GA. Such a knowledgeable, gentle, clever man you would struggle to find, oh, and his wonderful accent.
Leo, regarding sustainable forestry, check out Shelmore Timber in Staffordshire. Their model of growth and use is, I think exactly what you're aiming at. I bought some oak for a table commission, growing tree to sawmill to my garage, no more than 40 'furniture miles'. Worth a dose of looking at.
I just love good craftmanship. Seeing parts put together fitting perfectly puts a smile on my face!
Xln't, she'll be visiting. I miss seeing the pretty English girl. Leo, I'll never forget the roller skates from the thrift store. Do you still have those ?
Leo, aside from the entertainment that this series provides, you are an inspirational force.
Once you had resolved the move in your mind, you grasp the potential and let it energize you.
Thank you for sharing this story. I look forward to season 2 and 3.
This is just bloody amazing to watch. I can't believe how far this has come. An impressively daunting project to take on, but it's looking so incredible so far. Simply outstanding.
I can't believe it's been 4 years. In that time I've separated from my wife of 30 years, my children have left home and returned to live when things haven't worked out, I fallen in love again and been broken hearted. I've worked hard, had a motorcycle accident, lost friends. And throughout it all I can honestly say that these videos have sustained me and filled me with wonder and joy. Thank you Leo
Cheers from a kindred spirit!
It is amazing how much of Tally Ho has been thrown away, and now MUCH of her spirit stayed on. Timbers may rot, Tally Ho is still here!
Strange how time has flown, and we are here now, seeing her in her white and brightred livery. Before we know it she wil have her rigging up, and water under her keel.
It seems that everything is being replaced so the old boat was just good for a pattern?
They basically built a new boat
well the boat is 100 plus years old and was well used. He still used whatever he could.
The soul of the boat is still there
More or less... however, by using any removed parts as patterns they basically rebuilt the boat to its original design specifications and in doing so, as stated by Gary Lucas,... the soul of the boat is still there!
Hat's off to Pete and the entire crew! I am so excited to watch the rest of the restoration. If I was forty years younger I would be there to help out.
Nice recap. I'm sorry Cecca didn't get mentioned, I have been hoping she'd reappear, but her absence from the recap makes me think my hopes have been in vain.
I was wondering about Cecca too. She can be seen in some of the recap clips in this video, but yea it’s been a good while since she has been around.
@@chrisray1567 -- I'm wondering if it's because of travel restrictions due to covid?
On her own channel she said a while ago "there won't be any more boat related stuff here, so feel free to unsubscribe if that's what you're into". So I'd wager she won't be coming back. 😔
@@ShamWerks Didn't know she had a channel. I found her kind of appealing, in the context of Leo and his project. If she's just another "influencer" with a cute butt, I've lost interest.
Seems like they've drifted apart due to Covid, as well as other things: I guess the main issue is that Leo's on the other side of the ocean building a boat while Cecca's building up a jewellery studio back in the UK. Situations like this are difficult even in the best of times; Covid's just made it worse by a factor or two.
My level of English is not sufficient to tell you all the admiration I have for all the work you have already done !
Félicitations et merci
2 years is also the estimate when restoring an old house.
I learned estimating as a function of the kind of work times the square footage. Then add for expendables, overhead, taxes, and profit. The number of manhours divided by the amount of days available gives you a figure for supervision hours. Design, detailing, material takeoff, sub bids, and material procurement are all figured per job. Or you can just round it off to 2 years.
We're at it for six years on ours, no end in sight :-D
@@michaelvangundy226 We spend quite a bit more time finagling, etrc. than pros can afford to, and of course not being pros, we're slower. We've installed conduit in the masonry walls and pulled someting like 800 meters of power and data cable alone.
also in northern germany, Greetings to all Restorers of old Houses and Farms!
@@inyobill
Data cable? Heard of Bluetooth? Phones are cordless since the 90's. 10 rolls of 250' wire singles, not romex sounds right.
Leo and the team are legends. I so look forward to Saturdays.
Man youtube's recommendations killed it today. Gained a new sub and I have a LOT of videos to watch! Incredible.
I've been watching around 1 year or a little more. I've found the time to catch up on all the episodes and the side videos. I have no real affinity for boats or sailing. It's just great to watch a genius at work.
I didn’t realize that I have the joyful 4 years with Tally-Ho
My trade is Diesel Mechanics, and Im an amateur carpenter. This is my all time favorite master builder series. I don't need a reply to validate myself. As a Master from another trade, I simply wish to express my Admiration and Respect for your work.
This video, by itself, is better than any single thing on Netflix, cable tv, public access, etc.
Congrats on 100. As one of many retired old guys that live in Sequim, I look at you as sort of a surrogate son. Hope the move goes smooth. Cheers!
Bigfoot is your neighbor.
It's arguably easier to maintain motivation to achieve long term goals when they are shared with a life partner. Is Checca still connected? Will she return to assist you?
My favorite youtube channel. Where is your girlfriend? I hope you didn't let that beauty go
If there is another TH-cam project, Building a boat of this quality, in as proficient a fashion, I haven't seen it. Thanks for taking the trouble to make the videos so watchable too.
Check out Acorn to Arabella.
@@michaelvangundy226 Oh A2A is certainly on my list of YT boat builds, that are required viewing. Steve and Alix are an admirable pair of resourceful guys who will build a fine craft. However, the wheels came off with a tortuous planking process in contrast to Leo's flawless lining off. This is just the difference experience makes and as I have already said Arabella will be an exceptional boat in the end.
Well if is anything like home owners building their own it is about to screech to a halt. They look at homes as when it's dried in it's almost done. But the truth is closer to 25% complete.
I can only offer moral support, but Leo ou need to kno you are a big part of many people's lives as we muddle through 2020 and 2021 in particular. May the move to PT go smoothly. I think it will create a new energy for you in that setting. Good times ahead.
Damn, I'll watch that twice. Great recap! So proud to be part of the community. So happy you didn't run away screaming.
As I suspected, you're damn crazy in a great way. I really admire your skill, knowledge and passion! I follow the rebuild since the beginning (made two kids since you started :)) and I am waiting patiently for the finish. Good luck you crazy man, hope to see Tally Ho sailing soon!
This video came up recommended. I watched the entire video. I am without words. VERY much Respect
If you miscalculated how much time it'll take at the level of BOM, who already spent over 8 years on a Mini Cooper and still aren't done, I guess we'll see you grow old making this boat. Really really old XD
Who cares about birds? What about Checca? Got no more hope she's coming back😭
yep I have been hoping she makes a return! So, Leo, not really prying... but an update would be nice.
@@scottogilvie467 Ha, you're totally prying! But I'm right there with you -- we need a Checca (sp?) update! ;-)
Holy resume! I knew you were smart, but wow...lol. Thank you for what you are doing, now and in the future. "Your efforts, so far as one man can deliver, will help sustain boat building well into the next century"
time flys...it feels like yesterday when I stumbled across your channel, can't believe its been 4 years wow
can't wait for those 2 years until she's finished and in the water
Awesome! I raise my hat so high for your effort to build and for documenting it all so well! Cheers!
Looks like it would be cheaper and faster to build a new boat from scratch.
If the old boat was free or likee under 1000$ then no

holy shit your a rock star ! and i dont mean the music part of your life , way to go brother!
I'm blown away with this project. Those first shots of the boat made me wonder why a match was not just put to it... but I'm glad you took it on. I find building of the individual pieces fascinating. And, the progress staggering.
Time frame: 2 years of Sundays... maybe? That would give you 10 more years.
Also will Checha be coming back?
Leo you're genuine and that's one of your assets, you live your dreams for me too man and thank you for that❗
“This community is on a mission”, perfect.
When he broke the usual script I almost freaked out.
Not all that long ago, a few hundred years, what you're doing would have been a normal day at work for some. Today it is very much a lost and dying art that you're helping keep alive. I can say with One Hundred Percent certainty that only a select few will ever accomplish something as monumental as to what you have and are in their life times. It is truly astonishing for lack of a better word. I truly wish you nothing but the best moving forward. May you forever have fair winds, safe travels and the Lord's Blessings. God Bless sir, God Bless...
You're an absolute natural as a public speaker, Leo - eloquent, direct, self-deprecating, and tactful. You have no idea how we've come to look forward to these videos and hope they continue for years to come.
I’ll second that👍🎯😁
I only just realised that I've been watching this for 4 years... kinda emotional.
and this is my first comment
now thats a big old boat, wow. Cheers from Estonia for actually building this thing
Man Leo that crybaby neighbor really created a big stink that left him in the end sucking his thumb. 🤭
Yeah I'm going to run power tools out side of where you work and live 10 hours a day non stop four two years building a large thing that you don't like, and then we can circle back and see if you say "I LOVED all that noise, can't complain a bit". Be real. I'm on Leo's side and wrote the town a nice letter saying be nice to Leo. You sound like the neighbor complaining about the neighbor. Leo understood and worked it out. Let it alone. Leo does not want bad vibes over it be cool man. Peace and quiet is really a nice thing sometimes. My neighbors just got a yapping dog that never shuts up. Noise is a bad word really. Building a boat is not the Sound of Music you know....
This is one of the most valuable experiences I have had as a result of being disabled and watching this work take place. Leo is a remarkable person, and I hope I am not out of line saying he reminds me why the English once ruled the world. He seems to lack no talent; he is both charming and driven; he is a natural and charismatic leader; and, most of all, he knows a beautiful boat (and woman) when he sees one. This series of videos has been a tour de force, and I know I can speak for thousands when I say that we will cheer and rejoice with him and his cohorts when this magnificent boat is finally doing precisely what she was designed to do: sail anywhere, in all weathers, safely and beautifully, and FAST!
The brits are an impressive people
Poncho Tally Ho T Shirts coming soon?!? Really though, I’d buy it right now if I could find it. Love this channel.
its been 4 year friend! just the other day you picked up the boat from its resting place :D
