EPISODE 111
It’s time to line out TALLY HO's deck planking - deciding the positions and sizes of all the deck strakes, the cover boards, the king planks, and so on. To figure this out we take a look at a wide variety of different wooden boat decks in the yard, consider the different parts, and then draw the layout on the deck planks using battens.
I also take a quick weekend break sailing the beautiful schooner MARTHA around the San Juan islands, and we take a look down below and meet her captain.
Back in the yard, in the midst of a storm, we receive a large delivery - the Alaskan Yellow Cedar for TALLY HO’s deck!

Aargh! That was a KISS at the end of Leo's Comment! I've been assaulted! I didn't give written consent! Help! Help! No, wait a mo. Leo's a terrific guy so kiss away, mate.😚 And here's a great big squishy Elli-hug to keep it company... Brace yourself, man!

Watching these videos has been an island of joy in the midst of a struggle with cancer. In August they told me there was nothing more they could do so it seemed I would never see Tally Ho on the water. Now they have taken out a 7.5 kg tumour and they say I have a 50% chance of seeing another 5 years. So that day will come.

@horacio1962 2 года назад

@@TopBanana48 replayed the sequence when I noticed this and found Leo's choreography is more subtle and sophisticated than most of us realize. The staple percussions happen twice, the scene cuts all land on the beat, the body gestures even line up. 👨‍🍳💋

@davidelliott5843 2 года назад

@jarekhanel1552 2 года назад

The direction of the video is perfect - like Leo's entire work - a sense of shot, detail, environment. Romantic-nostalgic pictures and captivating music = 5 stars! But "we shipbuilders from the heart" are eagerly shaking for more work on his TallyHo and longing for every shot of his dexterous hands ... 😉

@getongab 2 года назад

Every time Leo thanks us, I just cant help but look at my computer screen and say "No Leo, thank you". I don't think Leo knows how much he has done in the way of making us old sailors feel good about all the time we spent building, fixing and sailing ships and boats all around the world. So Thank you Leo, Thank you for caring about Tally Ho, it's like you actually care about us to.

@hankmerkle5928 2 года назад

Any artist or craftsperson are fearful of the same things - As D'arcy says "...worried and upset that so many of our national treasures and maritime artifacts are going away" I suggest that many of our traditions are being lost... to time or apathy and that is disheartening... I am learning hand tool woodworking (one of the reasons I am so enthralled with Leo's channel and the team's talent) and find that we continually "re-discover" what the masters knew and simply took for granted would be passed-down through apprentices. I am guessing the same issues exists with boat builders and specifically wooden boat builders, there is a lack of interest and prospects to become apprentices in boat building, let alone if there are "true" masters out there to teach them or bring them under their wing...

@oldwillie313 2 года назад

It is clear from this video why Leo is always able to achieve a beautiful result. His planning and tenacity are so impressive. Just think of how well the planking went and know the decking will go equally well. No excuses, just impressive boat building. What was that saying? "No brag, just fact"!

'Too technical or boring'? Man, you're a master at making the most interesting video's! All's explained well, accompanied by drawings or images, if needed. If I were a teacher at a school for boat-building, I would make this series study material for my students for gaining extra points. I could give more praise (and I probably will do in the near future) but hearing you say what I just quoted made me comment right now.

@rainbowcat643 2 года назад

I’ve been watching since the first episode Leo. I just wanted to say how much I look forward to your videos every weekend.

Stop scribbling all over my boat - I've invested over a 100 hours watching this get made, and I like it without graffiti. More seriously, what a monumental piece of laying out. I know that even if I had the skills, I'd be paralysed by indecision at nearly every step. Yet again I Iearn how paintstakingly engineered these wooden boats are.

Boring? What you produce and work on can never be boring. It makes me smile when i see your videos popup so i can watch one more.

@coug96fan Год назад

Never to technical or boring! Leo, you have a way of breaking down the design and explaining (and drawing) it in a way that is very easy to follow. I feel like I understand so much more the craftmanship that goes into a wooden boat. Thanks! Keep up the technical stuff!

@ColinsMarine 2 года назад

I spent a number of years sailing on Martha’s sister, she was named Lady Ada and was owned by a man named Eddie Weinberg (now deceased) he owned three schooners and we sailed them as a charter company in Southern California. I’ve been privileged to sail a number of schooners in my life (over 20) but Lady used to always have a surprise for me, a very lovely boat to sail. Now my PNW life has led me to power boats (as a matter of fact the lobster boat shown at 8:17 in this video is mine) but I still love wooden sailboats the most.

@David-hm9ic 2 года назад

Colin, I drooled over your lobster boat. It's elegant. One of my other passions is radio controlled modeling, primarily airplanes, but a working scale model of one is in my queue.

@TermiteUSA 2 года назад

What an amazing project. I started carving a couple things with the live oak cutoff I bought from Leo last year. I laid out of the ~2' X 3' slab for two mallets & handles and 3 different size fids. The end of the slab had some interesting grain and only a few inches of splitting in the whole piece. I'm going to try to make a guitar wall hanger from the last bit of it. I think I'll have enough left to try carving a small model. But it's impressive how dense the wood is, lots of sharpening for a few cuts. It's an honour to own some of the material.

Wow, it’s so amazing to see the deck planking starting. I’m glad you have the resources to do it traditionally. Don’t worry about it being too technical, you’ve got the perfect balance-of course we all would be happy for more! With your editing skills and music choices, you could probably read from a phone book and it wouldn’t be boring.

@jonsey3645 2 года назад

Each episode seems more important than the last. I know that this isn't true as we are BUILDING a dream but the odds seem to narrow with each solved situation. As for the individual who said that they had watched this project for long enough and were ready to see her underway, I don't feel that you appreciate the nearly unprecedented fortune to which you are witness. We all anticpate the launch but the more astute realize how amazing it is to have a Master explain every detail of this construction as it occurs. With the obvious exception of "A to A" on the east coast, this enchanted process has never, to my knowledge, been catalogued so thoroughly and by such immaculate professionals. As much as I want to see Tally Ho underway I savor each episode and each new problem sussed through by Leo and the boys and try my best to learn what this Master Shipright/Architect/Sailor has been kind enough to document for us. Thanks to ALL of you, I have been blessed with an education that I couldn't have Imagined three years ago.

This is such excellent content, after each vid you post, I always think they are WAY too short.

Stay safe, keep the finger count where it belongs, and keep on boating. Yeah.
