EPISODE 123
At last, it’s time to bolt the ballast keel to the bottom of the boat - before we sail off without it! Auger bits get welded, counterbores get sharpened, and a series of huge holes are drilled through hardwood and lead before Aluminium-Bronze bolts are driven in.
In other exciting news, we lift the engine into the boat, paint the engine beds and bilge, cut an access hatch, and fit the staunchions - it’s been a busy couple of weeks!

123. Bolting the Keel / Engine in! (Boatbuilding / Tally Ho EP123)
Always so satisfying to see the bit pop out dead-on target. The craftsmanship is awe inspiring. Everything done in this build has produced beautiful art along with the videography and editing that brings it. Would have never had such a deep appreciation for sailing vessels had not been for this channel. Thank you!
I wish I could centre a bit so accurately.
@@waynejorgensen4433
I know what you mean. If I was doing it, the bit would come out the side of the keel.
yes awe inspiring at the very least.
I can tell you that most wooden boats generate the same live for their build and character and abilities. Whether they are as meticulous and near perfect as Tally Ho is, or if they are beat up and faulty as working sail ever was, they have their own souls.
The life that Leo gives TH has bits of other boats on the same way. All that experience in a guy that is younger than Yota is what amazes me.
@@waynejorgensen4433 me getting help cleaning the bottom of the boat. Sir, I noticed you got some bolts coming out the port side of your keel? Ah yes, interesting story 🤔.
You and your crew are the highlight of each weekend for me. June the 8th I'll be 91 years old and plan on staying around to see that completion of Tally-Ho. Then I'll be ready for You Tube sail!, Thanks Much!
Good for you Robert, I'm right with you....tm
I wish you both continued good health! Perhaps you will get to see the launch of this grand affair in person!
Great stuff, go man go.
@@joshuakuehn I plan on seeing the launch!
@@robertarnold2673 The "perhaps" was a bit on the jinx/rude side...🙂 See you at the launch!
i would like to say that you guys are really fortunate to have patrick on crew. this man’s personality adds a lot to your videos.
-and hey patrick, the haircut looks really good. the chicks are going to dig it.
hilarious, Bevis/Buthead laugh every time he talked about big nuts/bolts
"Leave your comments" haha - great team and Patrick is great comic relief.
I did'nt recognize him !! 🤣
I think someone is getting paid by Patrick’s mom, not saying’, just saying.
@@Wild_Bill57, partick’s dear, sweet mom?
-never heard of her.
This may turn out to be the best educational video of traditional boat building ever created!
Leo, I haven’t heard you talk about installing a stainless steel pan or catch basin under the engine and transmission. Now is a good time to save you bilge cleanup headaches in the future when (not if) you have nasty fluid spills or leakage. Thanks for including us in this great project.
Pretty good idea.
This
Thanks - it's part of the plan :)
@@SampsonBoatCo You will be glad you did. Engine front and rear seals will eventually begin to seep oil and leave a nasty mess.
@@SampsonBoatCo Mine have saved me on numerous occasions so I’m very happy to hear this!
EP100 randomly got recommended to me by youtube, i then proceeded to watch the entire playlist, which is apparently a little over 4 years, in about 1 and a half weeks. now im all caught up and dont know what to watch anymore.
All that tar stuff oozing from the keel shows how much more force those bolts provide compared to the weight of the whole vessel already - makes sense but still pretty impressive.
14:30: HOLY SHIT! It's the Pacific Swift! I went sailing on her for two weeks in high school and it was one of the best times of my life! She was painted blue at the time, but the green looks lovely. What a beautiful ship, what a trip seeing her in the video!
Hey me too!
I went on both also 2 different years
@@JKheller19 Lucky! I never had a chance to sail Pacific Grace!
I bought an ex Salts brigantine Spirit of Chemainus in 1994. It had fallen into hard times and only about 9 years old. We replaced the Perkins with a 5LW Gardner which is still in it. Had to cut some ballast out to make it fit, made it by 1/4 of an inch.
It had 11ft6 draft. She's in Europe these days. At least she was saved.
@@johnshaw8327 The only thing I ever bought from SALTS was jogging pants with SALTS on the seat.
Fantastic synchronized hammering. You don't see that very often anymore. Those two guys work very well together. It is coming together very nicely.
Doing their job with smiling faces - what a satisfaction just to watch!
As well as the faith and trust in each other. Bravo.
And musical, at that!
New Olympic Game?
A house framing crew I worked with used to drive the boss crazy when 3 of us would go to town on one nail when nailing down the plywood decking. He'd yell at us and then turn around and chuckle to himself.
I'm always impressed that folks can drill holes as straight as you do!
As a machinist myself, very nice work on the drilling and counter boring. Well done. Jeff
Thanks!
Hello fellow machinist 👋. I'm often impressed with the work he does.
Agreed. Well navigated. All bolts shown seem to have hit the center line of the ballast. ???
@@SHUTTHEFRIDGEDOOR I do my "magic" in metal, Leo and crew just amaze me in their wood working craftsmanship.
@@JRD77VET I agree. Wood is very different than metal and I wish I had half his skill. And the skill of the guy hammering the bolts in while his buddy holds the rod. One slip and it would break the guys hand and arm.
In just 3 days and out of 399,000 subs there have been 357,000 views, that must be some sort of record, surely? That's an incredible sense of belonging by a lot of people.
That one dollar boat has come a long way. Thanks for sharing this remarkable journey.
I’m SO GLAD Pacific Grace & Pacific Swift made an appearance on this channel!! I had the privilege of spending five days on each of them on two separate school trips as a chaperone. Tony and his crew were top notch and I even qualified to be a SALTS Jr. Sailor along with my students! LOL! I can honestly say that it was those experiences that led me to be a supporter of Leo and this project; what a nice treat to see those worlds collide if only for a minute ❤️⛵️
I am subscribed to way too many TH-cam channels. This one is far and above my favorite.
This was one of the funnest and coolest episodes!
This channel is the best media u can watch ANYWHERE.
Patrick was in excellent form.
Leo, you ought to relate a list of some of the projects that still have to be done before Tally Ho goes in the water (and after). I think viewers think she is almost ready to launch and there is so much more to do. I'd like to see such a list. This is such a massive project and I'm loving every video.
Yes, I do have such a list... and there is a huge number of tasks on it! I might make a video about that soon...
all it needs is a few oars , so that the crew can paddle the Tally Ho around the World as Leo cracks the ole whip and feeds them a bowl of gruel !
@@diverdave4056 The dream
Really good suggestion, I think that would be very interesting!
I always thought they still have years left to go. This is the point where things can get really expensive, possible delaying Tally Ho's completion even further. This is not the end. Just the end of the beginning. 😉
Love the sound of those bolts going in!! Also that engine is really pretty in there. Well done fellas!!
No way? THE Michael Alm! I better see you do a video with Leo when they start the interior woodwork! Tally Ho needs some patterned plywood!
@@willvenable4274 Depends whether Leo and his team are going for a restoration that brings Tally Ho as close to her original look as possible, or whether they go for a modernization. If it's the former, then no patterned plywood, but if it's the latter, then yes. A major part of designing anything for a restoration project, is to respect the original design and while I love Michaels patterned plywood, I don't think it belongs in Tally Ho. Sometimes its best to stick to the original design, rather than dumping modern design trends on everything.
@@Arterexius I agree it’s important to keep things original in a restoration build. Yet I still believe some patterned plywood could be included subtlety in a light fixture or light switch cover or something and not change the overall aesthetic of the original seeming Tally Ho interior. In all honesty I just would love to see Michale do a video with Leo and I know patterned ply is his jam!
@@willvenable4274 I disagree. If the goal is as close as possible, then integrating a modern design trend is taking the restoration in an entirely different direction. Even if its something as small as a light fixture or light switch. Often times it is especially when its something like that, as it is the tiny details that bring a piece together. It would make the Tally Ho look more like a New Classical with Bespoke elements experiment, than a restoration of what was popular at the time, which in the US was Art Nouveau and in Europe was closer to Georgian and Edwardian, albeit the latter ended around 1910. This was of course primarily homes, with ships being a whole other - and much older - look.
I too would love to see Michael there, but he can easily do so much more than patterned ply. He's a cabinet maker by profession, which is the same profession I am a part of, and there's so much more to being a cabinet maker, than making cool patterns with veneer or plywood.
Often times on these old designs, the "great look" comes by adding brass details to different types of wood. Walnut and brass goes great together, so does oak, teak, mahogany, padouk, maple, etc. with brass or copper. My father is restoring a house that's a mere 2 years younger than Tally Ho and I sure hope he won't install any patterned plywood there. It just breaks the entire flow of the design.
But we probably have each our own preferences, so no offense intended. I just don't think patterned plywood would be good on Tally Ho. It's quite the eye catcher and it could easily steal the attention away from the otherwise gorgeous Tally Ho
@@Arterexius yep, just got to agree to disagree
Leo, thanks to your inspirational videos, I am now restoring a Friendship schooner that my grandfather and father built in the late 70's.
Hi Leo, a thrust bearing separate from the engine/gearbox is a great idea as it is so much easier to maintain and replace when necessary and the universal joint drive shaft is very good too as it eliminates the need for precise alignment, I didn't see it in the video but in case you aren't aware usually the universal joint needs to be misaligned to ensure that the needle roller bearings in the joint rotate, if the shafts that are being connected are too closely aligned this won't happen and the joints will fail, the driveshaft manufacturer will usually state the range of required shaft angle for given shaft lengths to achieve the required outcome. All the best to you and the team on this tremendous project, regards Doug.
I think this application uses CVJs rather than Hookes joint(s) but I could be wrong.
It's still worth having an angular deflection, to prevent "Brinelling", but Leo knows all about that (as confirmed by his reply to another comment on this page)
What can you say when every episode is epic and a masterpiece. There is so much happening and you never get bored with watching as the editing is so good. You would never ever use fast forward on one of these videos.
I use slow forward, that is 0.75 normal speed to make the videos last longer!
Thank you!
But isn't it great how he lingers on some shots so you can hit pause and take in the picture. Like on this video with the Pacific Swift shots. Amazing detail in there. And a clue to the work left to do on Tally Ho.
That didn't even occur to me. I watch a lot of TH-cam but these videos are special. I look forward to them being released and then sit down and make time to watch them properly.
I actually fast-backwarded few times to see some scenes again.
Leo and crew, it has paid off doing a single Ballast Keel from scratch.......your hard work has made for a better restoration/rebuild of this SV,
and should give her life for another 100 years.....
Somewhere I think Leo Strange is smiling upon you all!
The music on this is a joy.
As is all the creative use of footage
As is seeing people working happily together
Thanks for continuing to to remind us all that we humans are capabable of so much creativity and good.
Hurrah!
No kidding, I'm wishing for "Tally Ho, The soundtrack album".
I was actually wondering the song at 7:00 is a as far as I know a Jewish chasidic wedding song
I'm really curious as to who picked that up
@@nisseneichorn9056 "Od Yishama". I thought there was some really nice poetry there in drilling the holes to make everything permanently attached together.
Went on a SALTS trip when I was in highschool and loved it! I was surprised to instantly recognize pacific swift. Big part of the reason I’ve been enjoying the series so much.
I thought I recognized it before they mentioned it! I sailed on both
Wow the Pacific Grace! I spent a week on her about 15 years ago with Tony as the captain! He had big red bushy beard at the time. So nice to see!
Do you know if she was originally built with two engines?
@@FlyingConey Sounds familiar, I think I recall that the Grace had a lot more engine power than the Swift, and that could be because it had 2 engines. It was a long time ago though, I wasn't thinking about those sorts of things at the time. Spent most of that week on deck or up on the masts.
@@someguy89 Thank you and as a sailor I do understand why you spend most time sailing. As someone who is thinking if I replace my DAF 1060 with to smaller engines for better maneuverability I hoped a little bit that you are an engine nerd.
@@FlyingConey thinking about it a little more, if I remember right, the Grace was designed and built to correct some of the disadvantages that the older Swift had. Although 2 engines might help with maneuverability, I think the main reason was for redundancy and safety when off shore.
@@someguy89 Safety? It's a sailing vessel so it should be possible to sail if the engine stops working. My thought is that for an ordinary guy it's much easier to work on normal boating equipment. I'm a bit scared of the sheer size of the parts, the tools and the forces involved. My stuffing box has the diameter of a huge pizza, my gearbox wouldn't fit into Tally Ho's whole engine room. I'm getting used to it but I would just prefer two car engines instead of one the size of a car.
Who else is going to do this by my count seeing these videos I've missed , I was watching a coupe yrs ago was in early watching he's certainly brought this incredible ol gal back to well almost life he's a committed crazy Englishman and GOD BLESS LEO and HIS BUILDERS , I mean were talking as of 23 he's in this 7 yrs of his life , that takes extreme commitment on his part and tge guys and gals that are helping a long thecwzry my GOD what a great group of people he has helping him , his wit , his humility and kind demeanor is why so many like helping him .
It shows talents and skills of gold and is about the most enjoyable educational videos I've ever seen I mean it's addicting , GOD SPEED LADS.
I just have to say the editing of the chips from drilling was brilliant. You take so much care to create these videos. Just as much as you are taking to restore Tally Ho. Really impressive!
Brill stuff! Who is it keeping up the helium voice about workshop fashion and their haircut? "It's no big deal, but..!" Shout out to ya, matey
It's always nice how musical Leo's edits are - the whole drill sequence at around 12:10 was specially nice 😀
The accuracy to which Patrick & Zeel drilled the keelbolt holes by hand to land spot on the centerline was superb! Seriously hard work to get the bolts seated and tightened up. Well deserved whiskey guys!! Inch by inch step by step Tally Ho getting closer to water. I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks Leo.
How on Earth did they do it? I mean, how did they manage to drill such a long distance by hand and still come out below on the centre line?!
@alexmason1022 I'm six months late to this but if you look closely you can see a v-notched piece of wood they have clamped in place as a drill bit guide (The clearest look at it is around 9:16). The boys lined up the auger bit on the hole location, used a level to find a position of the drill that's plumb, and then clamped the bit guide in place to maintain it. Of course, this only works if the boat itself has been properly leveled first and if they accurately position the bit and guide to start with. So it's still an incredible feat but much much easier than drilling completely "by hand."
What a nerve wracking dangerous job that bolting was. It shows such trust care and confidence in each other. Masterful!
its not so scary, if the whole boat falls while hes reaming the holes from below his whole arm will instantly go splat, he wont even feel it because it'll be so fast.
(im sorry for the really bad satire, making jokes about a really bad, dangerous, or life threatening situation is common whether at a dockyard or in a warzone)
I was just thinking that! I don't know how many times I've missed hitting the head of some fastener and smashed my own other hand holding it steady. With a 2-man operation like this, you could permanently maim the other guy's hand!
@19:15
Damn but that double-jack hammering reminds me of hard-rock mining in Northern California in my late teens and early 20s. I worked with an old 3rd generation gold miner who inherited it from his father and grandfather. We did our drilling just like this... a three man crew with the holder switching out every 25 strikes. Carbide helmet lamps... the electric flashlights were just to get us out when the carbides burned out.
I love absolutely everything about your crew!!!
Wow, it certainly gives you a sense of the clamping force being exerted by those bolts if the weight of Tally Ho on her own wasn't already sufficient to squeeze that tar out!
Everyone's continued enthusiasm on this project is such a testament to your management skills, Leo. Amazing that it doesn't really slow or even bog down. Everyone has a task to do and it is clear what that is and the pace is apparently very good. You make good progress and continue to do so.
So satisfying that the drill bit came through square in the middle in all holes! Good work!
That tar squeezing out of the joint so uniformly is such a good and happy site...My name is J Shipp Ive been as a hobbie a off shore power boater...However I am a cabinate maker, a sculpture, caster of large bronze peices, a fine gold and platinum smith, an international award winning fabrictor... 48 years, Ive crafted with my two hands, its certianly a pleasure to see so much of what I understand being acomplished here, such a great pleasure....I didnt realize youve been doing these videos, thats just great...Now Ive much to catch up on...Keep up the great work
Wow.. Almost 400k subs. I remember when I first subbed and you only had a few thousand. You deserve your success and no doubt inspire others to reach out for their dreams.
Oh how I miss those days when i was young... you can "rough" it with ease in a little slot next to the engine that is the master bed room.. Because sleep is not the issue here, adventure is.. At 70 my idea of "roughing" it is having to do my lawn with out my riding lawn mower.. or having to walk down to the mail box.. because everything hurts if used more than a minute.. But that is the price I am willing to pay for the fun and adventures if my life.. (though no one ever told me I would live this loong! ;-) Truly enjoy the show and the music you pick.. Makes me FEEL young again.. Relish these days Leo.. they will never come again...
waiting since 14 days----- best to do on saturday late afternoon
It's almost midnight here hahaha
4am here
I love wooden sailing vessels because of my father who was in the US Navy. I grew up on his sea stories. He died in 2018. One of the reasons I watch your channel is because it reminds me of him. He would have loved so much watching you restore this boat. I'm so glad you stuck with this project long enough to see it turn into what it has become. I'm very happy for you and very happy I get to watch it all. Thanks so much.
Leo, It was nice to meet you Pat and Rowen in the yard the other day. As hard as you guys work I hesitated to take even a minute of your time, but it made my day! After telling my wife for months to watch the channel, she finally did....and of course she is hooked. I am rewatching them with her. thanks for spreading the joy and another great video!
do you live in the Isle of Wight?
@@RegWhiteJnr Is that where the boat is? I went on a 2 week boating trip around that area and visited Isle of Wight.
How do I admire Tally Ho's resurrection? Let me count the ways: honest, true, and hardworking leadership; a crew from many walks working together to re-create a thing of beauthy; NO sacrifice of quality workmanship for expediency; and I could go on and on.
All good things come to an end. But let us linger and enjoy Tally Ho's re-emergence while it lasts. And may Leo lead us on more testing and uplifting adventures.
Leo, I have watched your project from the very beginning, and it´s never boring. Probably the best show on TH-cam!
2:43: I loved Pete's "come to daddy" gestures when he was guiding the engine!
I love the day the motor goes in. Even if it's just a test fit, it feels so good!
No kidding. The days of work to get it ready to install never leave you with any feeling of accomplishment but the few minutes actually putting it in feels like a major victory. Especially if there's no problems and it drops right in.
Ship of Theseus / Project Recap! (EP58)
291,822 views20 Oct 2019 The answer is of course .... without question ... yes and no. You have replaced so much, there is almost nothing left of the original, so of course it's not the same boat. BUT by doing it the way you did, it's like you kept the spirit of Tally Ho alive all through the rebuilding process and she will still be there in the finished vessel. It's a question that is asked and answered but should never been asked in the first instance. Yes, you're crazy but well done. We need more crazy people like you.
Too keep those holes straight is quite a job, thanks for sharing. Charles
BEST BACKGROUND MUSIC…. every single episode. Ty
I've been fretting about that ballast keel since he stood up the full keel years ago....looks GRAND!
Skilll, craftsmanship and comedy, you guys need raise.
Nice to see a proper engine and drivetrain being fitted and not an old one from a bus or something.

Leo, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, watch your videos." Excellent attention to detail at every level. If I may use a term from your homeland "BRILLIANT!!!"
We've been missing Poncho lately. Maybe she would like another visit as well.
PANCHO.
Watching the drill coming out at the keel centre has been quite a relief. Good workmanship. Cheers from NZ.
Knocking the bolts through the keel reminds me of the old saying, “ when I nod my head you hit it “😂great work you guys every episode is amazing 👍
Wow... award for number of uses of the word GIGANITIC... Fun...
Continually awed by the level of perfection and passion of each craftsman throughout every stage of this project. The materials, fit and finish are all top notch. Love every bit.
Thanks, Leo and Co. 🤙
PS. Patty’s trim did not go missed. 😉Lookin’ sharp, bucko!
It strikes me (intended) that the weld that created the 6’ bit is an unsung hero of this episode. Critical for straight and strength! Thanks for the video. Looking forward to when you can replace the animation in the video opening.
Exactly my thought! Excellent prep and execution. I commented on it earlier. Glad to see someone else appreciates attention to detail on metal work.
You've got such a great crew, Leo. You definitely know how to hire people.
The musical selections are spot on.
Lucky I'm sitting here doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (well, sort of looking for your video) cheers..rr Normandy, France
So cool to see the SALT boats there. Two of my daughters have spent time on those boats and one of them sailed the Swift into the Victoria harbour when she was 13 years old.
Must be great to work with such a great group of friends. You also have the added benefit of comic relief from Patrick 😜
it still remember when you were pulling the old ones out in ep8, what a long way this project has come. 👍
definitely the best youtube series going on right now.
WOW! What a beautiful vessel the Pacific Swift is! I love that you show the Boatyard from time to time!
Hands down, Pancho's feather cape is the best outfit.
Hi Leo, I've been travelling around the UK in my van for the past 6 weeks and was unable to log on to your site during that time. I didn't miss home comforts at all, but I did miss seeing your progress with Tally Ho. I've just watched EP123 and will catch up with the subsequent episodes over the next few days. I already feel back home now and can see that Tally Ho is going to be a huge success story. Congratulations to you and your team.
Really enjoyed watching the keel get bolted on. The hull's really coming together now.
I noticed the hair cut right away!
Casting and attaching the ballast keel was much more involved than I imagined. That was a BIG hump to get over. "Whiskey bolt" indeed! Those boys earned their tipple.
Beyond therapeutic.
would be great Leo if one day soon you could put the entire series on dvd would be great viewing
Absolutely smashing! She's really coming together, shipshape and Bristol fashion.
no pun intended I'm sure...........
You should go into more detail about how you align that bit to drill true. I see the little jig you made, and I was there for the stern. But I bet a lot of people would miss it.
Anyone who has ever drilled holes in lead especially thru this much wood and lead realizes what a great job these guys did.
Well done and the keel and motor look fantastic.
So impressed that the long drill exited dead centre. Very skilled!
Really satisfying to watch these edits. Everything is tight, straight, clean.
We are supporting you but you are feeding and inspiring us. It's an even trade; a WIN-WIN.
Very satisfying hearing those keel bolts being driven in .
Here in Europe to meet regulations it is mandatory to have a separate bilge under the engine with it's own manually operated pump out arrangement and bilge alarm to prevent oil pollution. Are you installing that sort of arrangement?
Don't forget that there should be a little misalignment between the engine and prop shaft so that the cv joints in the ' Python drive" don't seize up !
That is only mandatory on larger vessels, but a good idea on all boats of course. The limited space makes that a little awkward in small sailing vessels like this so it's uncommon to see. We will probably just have a drip pan under the engine.
And yes - quite right about the misalignment! The unit we are using is actually an Aquadrive.
@@SampsonBoatCo Drip pans are very useful. 40 or so years ago my Triumph Dolomite Sprint developed a slight oil leak. I wad advised by a master mechanic that the best remedy was to buy a drip pan. Sound advice.
Leo, the smile on your face talking about the keel being on finally says it all. Well done everyone.
“Hi, my name is Leo”… Oh, how I love these beginnings! I've been looking forward to hearing it in a new episode for two weeks! And again I'm so impressed ☺️🤩 Great job - as always !!! 👏🏻👍🏻 A bsolutely fascinating shots and video editing while drilling including background music! 😄 Simply, breathtaking and brilliant! Greetings to all of you!!! 🙋🏻♂️🏆
I liked the hole-cutting Polka!
So cool to see the pacific grace and pacific swift on the show! When I was a teen I did a trip with salts from victoia to port hardy through the inside passage on the Swift. One of the coolest experiences I've ever had too this day. People from all over the world were on that trip but for me it was super fun to be a local from bowen island seeing my backyard from such an amazing vessel.
You have to play the song “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton (country/blues) when you’re drinking Tennessee Whiskey. Great job, thanks for sharing!!!

Best TH-cam channel dealing with boating.
G'day from Australia . Have been watching your progress since about episode 10 . I am very impressed with the level of craftsmanship demonstrated throughout the project . Tallyhoe has become a work of art , and a credit to all involved . Your team is keeping the skills alive . Congratulations Leo on building a beautiful ship .
What a relaxing video to watch, somebody is working with hands in this digitalized time ... thank you so much :)
Not much to say other than this channel and project make me so happy! Great to see progress and thank you for sharing it with the world.
I've made comments in the past,but the time effort,skill and workmanship involved in this project is to be marvelled at ! Bloody good.
I really enjoy how Pat(ty?) makes every task kinda fun or a game, every crew needs a guy like that!
Cheers from Tokyo!
Leo, it is obvious that you are a skilled and talented boatbuilder/shipwright. Still I am constantly amazed at the talent and skills members of your crew possess. You have an amazing group of volunteers and paid staff. Their dedication to their work, Tally Ho and to you shows what a great group they are and what a fine individual you must be. KUDOS to all.
Well said. Ditto.
Congrats! Big step! I remember when you took the old one off. Wow! So much in that time!
Love the wooden boats. It’s so awesome to see they are still being built and operated as well as a new generation learning the lines.
I would probably utilize a torque multiplier on those 1-1/4 bolts just to get that extra bit of torque on them.
The original keel bolt should be cleaned up and put somewhere on the boat as a piece of artwork and to have a little more of her original parts onboard.
The guy who mentioned his haircut seems like an excellent guy. Seems so jolly - I like his bits, have him on more!
It's Sunday morning. I could have watched another hour.
Crazy amount of skill and dedication going in this rebuild.. keep up the good work guys.. following the build from my Caribbean island of Curacao..
Keel bolts tightened the scarf in the keel timber too by the look of it 👍👍
