Building TALLY HO's rig - a complex process! 

hah!

😂

good one :)

I see what you did there 😂😂😂👍

Are you sure you watched the video and listened to the treatment of the serving to protect it?

Brings back memories.... to and in... the land of my birth... of my mom... it was just her and me.... I was two... not quite three.. when I helped my mom spin wool on the old spinning wheel.... my job was to hold the spinnet whilst she thinned and spun it propper... we played cats cradle with that yarn.... forming... then transfering the construct... from hands.. to hands... one of my first memories... and I was definately not yet three years old.... because by then... she... and I... were in another country... way before coming to this continent... Amazing what you encounter... when you come by Chance....

They know worth while exposure and advertising when they see it! Tally-ho is not only the best RU-vid edited videos I've seen but the highest quality workmanship and planning and execution on every level! As I've said before please Leo, let this be the first of many rescue rebuilds! The world will always welcome and reward teams that showcase the level of quality craftsmanship you have brought together!

Every sailing channel of a certain size gets free or discounted supplies. One couple was just given an entire catamaran to cruise around in for a couple years. It’s called marketing and advertising. Patreon and ad revenue is funding many endless summers. And good for them.

They also get to write it off as a marketing expense, so it doesn't end up costing them a thing. Being associated with what's essentially a Pagani level of bespoke tech and elegance is never going to hurt your bottom line.

@@jimurrata6785 Good info!

They are not the first to build to this quality, just the first to get world exposure. Leo deserves what he’s worked for. In his gut he wanted to build it all on his own because he knew he could. Then the realization, thousands of others were willing to help him in his rebuild. All he had to do was take all the time for the videos. And he’s good at it! Thus, he took a detour into RU-vid and created a masterpiece.

Amazing work. I was a pleasure to see you demonstrate your hard earned skill. Clearly learned from a respected mentor

My condolences to you all. I had the rare privilege of working with Brion on the Elissa project back in the early 80s. I learned so much from him and laughed so much too. He was a beautiful human being.

I work with people who make easy tasks look ...............painfull

It had better float. That's all I can say.

@@VitalityMassage _The Salvage Of Tally-Ho_ could be a massive long drawn-out series with loads of ridiculous in fighting and fake drama like Ice Road Truckers etc. Leo could retire fat and miserable in a gold plated penthouse!

It’s one of those tools where you can’t imagine it could be improved upon at all. What a neat bit of vintage tech!

Love tools.

Thanks for saving me the typing on my comment!! DD

The young fella will be working there for a very, very long time.

👍

@@TomokosEnterprize Hope so.

Thanks Steve. As a silver smith I offered Leo a pair of silver medallions for this lovely lady TallyHo. He has yet to give me a design as he really just plain doesn't what the medallions will look like or where to put them. I am in no state of being in a hurry. Once Leo has a couple minutes to work on the design I am going to pour up a pair of beauties for him.@@steveshoemaker6347 Stop by my site and see what I am up to.

@@TomokosEnterprizehis skill as a rigger will be defiantly be satisfied at that shop he could stay but would you when so much more could be learnt by getting out into the world for a few years , I truely hope he travels within the rigging world for a few years after he grasps all his mother and Brian can teach him returning to that shop after a small stint outside would only enhance his status as a world class rigger .. one must remember cranes are part of a riggers domain yes yacht riggers use them as a tool normally bought in and run by a crane crew I really feel chance should get out and do things like this to become the best all round rigger one could be .. myself I started work as a fitter and turner as well as my trade I have also tickets in rigging ,scaffolding and rope access believe me I didn’t learn all those extra skills by staying in one place but they all enhance one another and I just class myself as a well rounded tradesman … yea as a sailor I too also worked in a yacht rigging shop for a small stint, I left that shop enhancing it before I left as they also return the favour giving me more skills as well ,one can never have too much knowledge in engineering type fields get good get trained 40 years of work and im still learning ..

I really would not call this the "old ways". This is a very modern application of material that is quite new in terms of the history of sailing. The old way from 1909 was Galvanized wire or Hemp rope. What is the old way but is really just a continuum is the high-quality expert craftmanship we get to see.

My dad was an old WWII Pacific sailor, and spoke often of holidays, blivets, and Irish pennants whenever I had work to do.

Until today I always thought of holidays as errors in the varnishing of the brightwork.

That works too.@@chip9177

Haha! My ex-Royal Navy father used the term ‘holiday’ to refer to anything we missed in jobs he gave us as children (such as washing the car, or any other cleaning or painting jobs etc).

Trending 19th! Personally haven't seen it trending higher. This is so great, and deserved.

The actual splice in the single 12 braid is easier the a short splice in 3 strand IMO. All the leather and serving is not necessary to just spice the rope. But the traditional treatment will make that Dyneema Dux last a long time.

Jenn is a lovely person. Imagine those hands on your sensitive parts!! ☺️

She must have an iron grip.

1n the 1870,s yes 1870, rigging was learned as an apprentice. There were "rules " as to which set of shrouds when on first. Lots and lots of rules.

I totally agree

Well said --- I've done some heavy lifts, but this is another level entirely.

She has a name, no?

@@SonjaBruenzels sure she has, but she is also a true lady and that is beautiful !!

Or old knowledge, perhaps. 😄

I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Leo has turned this project into a masterpiece of boat building. Tally Ho will live on for a very long time.

I need Jen merch

Yes. Watching this series has been very educational, as well as entertaining!

I keep wondering about how they built all those wooden ships back in the day, without any of the modern conveniences we enjoy today. Must have employed many crafts people! And was a beehive of activity.

The thing that held every ancient civilization back and resulted in their stagnation and collapse was that they did not have facile mathematics. You just can’t invent arithmetic with Roman numerals or hieroglyphics. So they were limited to that kind of math you can do with an abacus. What made the renaissance different was the advent of Arabic notation ( that they got from india ) and the resulting ability to quantify the natural world with precise and predictive formulae. Chemistry, Optics, Algebra… all began in the caliphate, and the Europeans ran with it. This enabled them to discover such things as different elements, and to explore and quantify their properties, resulting in patterns emerging that became modern chemistry. It resulted in boatbuilding and architecture no longer relying on Old Timers who had built enough things, and seen enough failures to understand what worked and what didn’t, but be able to calculate forces, and invent formulae that would give the designers full control over the results of their far more daring and inventive plans. Keep in mind that prior to the 1400’s, the western world had never even heard of the concept of ‘zero’.

​@@christopherpardell4418- As I like to say, "Nothing is important!"

My favorite saying is when someone says "I'm never going to use this stuff." (When speaking of math) is to say "Yeah, you may not, but the smart kids will." Math makes so many thing easier. I use it on a daily basis, and I have no idea how people get by without knowing how to do math properly. Even trig I use extremely often on my projects.

since the start of 2024 ...so far so good - I haven't had the need to use any Algebra

@@reeepingk I’m a sculptor. You wanna build a huge sculpture that won’t fall on people? You better know how to calculate the weight and design an internal armature capable of taking that load under the wind and seismic requirements for its site, not to mention the foundation plan. Math is for creators. Consumers only need to balance their checkbooks.

Yep, looked like an old sea dog.

And the videography whiz that Leo is came pretty close to matching the dog's gait to the sound track. Great fun!

💜💜💜

And people of all ages too

I believe the general process he was talking about is the use of the design righting moment of the hull. If the sails are loaded sufficiently by the wind, the boat will be blown over. The force opposing this is primarily the righting moment of the boat generated by the gravitational force on the keel lead that is now pivoted out towards the side because the boat is heeled over. The moment generated by the sail rig and the righting moment are essentially equal at any steady state position. Therefore, the design maximum righting moments can be used to estimate the largest possible loading on the rig. This is useful because applied maximum forces to sails can be more complex to estimate. There's still a bunch of work to allocate loads to spars, then to the rig. Then allowing design factors for a time dependent creep allowance, etc.

Nowadays we get wires/dyneemas etc really calculated - what I’ve read is that earlier (1920’s… 1930’s … old egyptians? ) the rule of thumb was that all one side shrouds should be strong enough to lift the boat…
