4 years of boat building in 20 minutes (EP 18) 

I’m finding it very hard to believe that neither of you knew much of traditional boatbuilding, laminating with epoxy, woodworking, carving, etc. before you started this project. At least confirm there was gold-leaf experience! :-). Truly impressive across all expectation! Keep going! Cause, well, you’re too far Inuit to stop now.

I've been a long-term follower of Tally Ho, and Acorn to Arabella. It was great to stumble on your channel. It's so rewarding following a local production of a boat build. Really enjoying your progress. Mike

Thank you 2 for making video from stem to stern. Your going to have one beautiful boat when you finish. It truly is, what dreams are made of!

I'm hoping you will keep making videos right through her launch and of course the adventures that follow. You guys have made amazing progress and I look forward to each new video to see what is next on the build list. Keep up the great work!

I'm impressed by you jumping in at the deep end like that instead of trying a much smaller boat for a first go.

Amazing how casually you display your craftsmanship, the finish looks incredible, and super inspiring

Huge fun to see y'all building this beautiful vessel! I love to follow the process!

We done guys, nice summary of works to date. Beautiful and clean build and really showing a craft you excel at. Look forward to continued episodes.

As an avid viewer of boat builds, this is fast becoming a favourite of mine. Stunning work. Well done from the UK.

Hey guys,that was a great idea to compile a series of your photographs like this,it answers so many of the questions I had.And now I know how you got to where you are.Thanks for sharing your story,I’ll keep watching what ever you share that’s for sure👌🙂

Thank you so much! We are following the progress from the start but see it again in summary I realize how amazing your work is! We will visit you and Tarkine somewhere in the world, dont be surpised if more people will pop up!!

I have great admiration for you guys, and the videos bring back many memories of "the old days" - look forward to the day when the videos are of you two cruising the world, conquering the elements, and having broad smiles on your "dials"!

What a beautiful thing you are building! 🙂

Brilliant what a sense of achievement you must be proud. Looking forward to seeing many more episodes.

Truly amazing work, her transom looks absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for sharing the early photos. I do like the technique of the cheap (ish) moulds followed by laminating the ribs. The view of the interior with the moulds removed is stunning. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great content . Looking forward to seeing all progress.

Sensational effort looking great.

It's hard to say just how great this project is - coming from a long-time wooden boat aficionado, to see a small, creative, and tremendously industrious team assemble this vault of cold-molded integrity, in a perfect length, and with a customized below-decks, is for me exhilarating. Tarktine is truly awesome and the group is to be commended. What wonderful stuff. May she blue-water for a century.

Great work dudes. As I've said, my wife and I built a 36 footer back in the 80's-90's. We did it pretty traditionally, Jarrah planks on steam bent Karri ribs, copper/bronze fastened, ( black locust trunnels for blind fastenings) caulked with oakum, no glue. The interior fit out was cedar of Lebanon sourced from an old tree grown locally, again, no glue. No paint inside. Gaff cutter rigged, galv standing rigging, solid pinaster pine mast. Lots of ways to skin a cat eh?. She's still going strong 30 years later. Hasn't even been re-caulked. Loving your build. Going to be one v. strong boat. Loved the transom.

These recaps are very helpful and entertaining for people with memory issues like mine! Thanks 🎉😂

I loved these early photographs. Keep up the great work and make sure you follow Doctor's orders.

Just found this for the first time, Congratulations she is a beautiful thing. Hopefully get to see her for real one day sailing around our waters

Thankyou for showing us all the pre-youtube progress. :)

I love my boat build videos, but this one is a gem.

Wow talk about balls you two our bloody amazing well done just stubbed on your cannel love it keep going guy’s

Watching you build this beautiful boat makes me want to build one for myself. Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories.

Wow...my total respect and admiration ! She's going to be a beautiful yacht. Heartwarming to see young people doing this. You've got many years to enjoy her and reflect on your achievement. Well done...loved the video...

You two are a great team . The boat is a great choice,is beautiful and truly worth building. Keep up the good work

Only just came across your video , what a lovely boat you’re making super quality and very impressive, well your skill and knowledge has certainly impressed me , love it when young people take on a labour of love in this way , well done , can’t wait for the next instalment, 👍Graham L

your vessel is looking wonderful. just started watching.

You guys are doing an amazing job, looks like a real labour of love.That transom has to be one of the most exquisite I've seen,Just beautiful, she's going to be a stunner.

Going well mate, well done!

You keep making the vidieos and I will be watching for sure. This one was another great effort, content, music and info in balance. Love your work. Martin

Wow, awesome work and what a team. Enjoyed every minute

You're building a beautiful boat - just love your channel. You deserve so many more subscribers. You need some shameless name dropping by other boat building channels, such as; Sampson Boat Co, Sailing SY Mistress, Life On the Hulls, Sail Life, Ship Happens, Project Brupeg, Acorn to Arabella, Sailing Flying Coney, to name a few. There are thousands of people like me who love watching channels like yours. All you need is a litttle advertising. ;-) Thanks for sharing.

You two are great! This is the best time in your lives to do what you are doing. Good Luck

Oh dear, another build to follow! Beautiful boat and great work!

That was an interesting bit of history. What is over and above is your woodworking skills, the joinery is all so fantastic and your finishes so perfect, you have a high bar! The shape of the boat and all that planking this way then that way, gorgeous!

Strong. Well done.

1500 views in a few hours. A good start!! Should be encouraging. I for one admire you 2 and respect your efforts

And a good morning to you too!! 😁

It's amazing to see all the very early photos and footage, before you started your channel. Your achievements so far are even more impressive, seeing everything come from just a lofting table. I actively avoid sailing - I've tried learning to sail and overcoming my fears for about 40 years to no avail - but I'm a house builder, and find your channel so inspiring and satisfying to watch. I'm even looking forward to watching you sail, and that's something I didn't think I'd feel 🤣

Excellent video...

Wonderful project

What a fantastic effort. You guys would give Acorn To Arabella a run for their money.

This is great, a totally different approach than either Arabella or Tally-Ho, but with all the same recognisable elements. Lofting, molds, cabin plans, kitchen builds, fairing the deck beams, chainsawing the superstructure (!) -eat your heart out Steve, rudder builds, etc, etc. Can't wait for things like the mast, rigging & sail layout.

Here's hoping your shoulder gets strong soon so you can get back to the building. Your videos are great but Tarkine is clearly the main feature.

Stunning beauty inside just after moulds come out. Wow.

The two you are are pretty neat on so many ways . Your humble low key no fan fair just building a sailing vessel that fits who you both are . Hats off to you . Angus SV Violet Walters.

I have just found your channel, have watched this video and will now go back to episode 1 to get a proper perspective of all your work. What a fabulous project!

Beautiful build!

Well no one will question your ambition. Lovely boat you have under way.

Very well done! I also follow Ran Sailing's channel and it is interesting to see the similarities even though they are two different types of vessels. Ran builds their hull upside down. I am impressed by the courage you show and wish you all the best.

You guys are doing an awesome project! We are on the last steps to start our rebuild project...following you guys! Cheers

It appears to be a Paul Gartside plan. I am currently building a cutter designed by Paul. Great work!

Great work, thank you for sharing.

I just watch you walk down your passage way to get to a through hole 😊 you must be proud it looked great

Amazing Build!

C'est vraiment du très très beau travail ! Bravo à tous 👍 (France )

Sensational achievement guys. I really enjoyed seeing the build photos. Beautiful, super strong and lovely details.🙋

Great build lofting full size is a must Even for a larger boat Ribbands great method That method you did is easier than carvel Plank on frame

Amazing progress guys, wish you loads of luck!!!

Tassy boatbuilding alive and well. Congratulations on the work to date. Proper job! No wonder this place had a worldwide reputation for great looking timber vessels.

so beautiful. I love her lines. hard work and joy. I'm living a dream thru your videos.

Just had time to look at your boat build. Awesome job, good choice of engine and boat design! I have been rebuilding an Atkin Ingrid, red cedar plank on oak frames, that was launched in 1973, needed lots of work when l got her. She has a 70 hp kubota which is plenty of power even when going against the current. I changed her from ketch rig to a cutter and am redoing the interior next. Keep on keeping on!

Been along for a while now(from afar,) but this video really....LONG PAUSE(thinking)...., well,.... informed me(understatement,) what a humongous project this has been and how much fun it's been watching. But no, I'm not going to build a boat....cheers rr Normandy, France

Congratulations! For what you do! Well done!. You make the plans. Greetings from GREECE!

Amazing work. Great explanation. Thanks for sharing.

The shape of the hull is beautiful. 👌

I Just stumbled across this upload today , and with tally-ho in the water and on the home stretch , the timing seemed pretty good. keep up the good work . best wishes from your latest sub , and greetings from kalgoorlie / Boulder WA

You guys are the awesomest awesome folk I've seen in ages! :-) inspiring, amazing.

I think I should go and watch from the start video number one and not start from video 18 it just came up so I started watching 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I’m hooked 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Howdy from Texas! Beautiful video.

Incredible boat plan, nice progress.

Wow that's amazing you are working so hard !

I think this is the most beautiful boat on You Tube

Really beautiful work!

I loved the photo journey of the build beginnings. Pics are more clear than video

I’m so proud of you guys!!!!!!!❤

Superb. What a partnership you have there. Hope the shoulder is back if form soon.

Love it! Beautiful the way you work together. Regarding the butterfly, in our case a source of small leaks until we replaced the Lexan and brought it all the way out to the edge of the frame. Attached a trim frame around the edge of the hatch, on top of the Lexan for looks. Used smoke shaded Lexan to reduce glare.

Keep your spirits up. The ramifications of your build will resonate for years and come back to you in unfathomable ways, please stay strong.

Beautiful stuff

Clean build. Well done you two. Be proud....

Great job, and video!

wow, 4 years, long way to go. good luck.

What a great piece of work! Well done, Ilove it. Best wishes from Scotland

Wow, how have I not known about your build? Awesome work! Subscribed and can’t wait to see more!

For what it's worth Matt, stay the course bro' and let go of the timelines,... I know it seems wrong, right?! A boat project like you two have birthed IS a massive undertaking for two, that almost nobody in history are able to accomplish! 'Life' ISN'T easy and it seems to me that you both have made good plans to very much live the unusual life that you very much want and are still on this good course for! Your dreams and plans haven't moved mate! 🙂⛵

Good on ya guys!

Love it guys. Great Job. Keep going strong !!👍👌
