EPISODE 183
In this episode we raise the topmast - this is an interesting operation because we are raising the top of the spar much higher than any of our hoisting points. I explain how it’s done and then we get on with it! After that Bob and I climb the rig to take a closer look and install the wind instrument.

I wonder how many viewers may have been inspired to become sailors or boatbuilders/shipwrights as a result of this odyssey? Btw: growing-up on sailboats, I was one of those weirdos who loved going aloft to work on the rig or free something jammed - especially when underway. Best view in the house👍

I really hope traditional wooden sailing boats keep sticking around! I think it was just a floating museum, but there was a wooden sailing boat that sunk near my hometown in southern California and it was really sad to hear that we lost a historic piece. I love seeing the traditional wooden navy ships that some nations keep, especially that one story of the one that towed a broken down boat to port. Truly hard-working pieces of art!

Loved it! This episode felt a bit like history (or historical fiction) come to life… having read many times about the process of raising (and striking) topmasts in books like the Patrick O’Brian novels bout Lucky Jack Aubrey, it’s fantastic to actually see the process being shown so clearly in real life on Tally Ho! And to think that this is EXACTLY the way it was done back in the days of Lord Nelson… hats off to you all, Leo and crew, for keeping history alive and maintaining these traditions, while also seamlessly integrating modern technology and materials where appropriate.

@catherinebrennan3342 2 месяца назад

I was thinking the same thing. I routinely re-read the Jack Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower novels, and as someone who gets seasick standing on a dock, I've never been sailing, so finally having a lesson in hauling up the top mast from the Sampson Boat Co. school of Ship Rigging for Landlubbers is awesome.

Another Patrick O'Brian fan here. Read them all twice and now listening to them all on Audible which i think may be even better.

@Ivartshiva 2 месяца назад

The topmast, do you see, is that second length going upwards, the thinner piece that rises above the top. We sway it up from below and fix it to the lower mast, rather like a marine clapping a bayonet on to his musket: it comes up through the trestletrees, and when it is high enough, so that the hole in the bottom of it is clear, we ram a fid through, banging it home with the top-maul, which is this hammer you were asking about, and we sing out “Launch ho!” and …’ the explanation ran eagerly on. ‘Castlereagh hanging at the one masthead and Fitzgibbon at the other,’ thought Stephen, but with only the weariest gleam of spirit. ‘… and it’s stayed for’ard to the bowsprit again: you can just see a corner of the foretopmast stays’l if you crane over this way.’

@stretchedits 2 месяца назад

I've read all the Patrick O'Brian novels twice too. This video brings to life the phrase "Raising the Topmast" like never before. I recall one of the books were the crew raced each to raise and lower the topmasts, Mainmast against Foremast as a competition! Brilliant video, and thanks for the model explaining the process of raising the Topmast.

My Brother, Jim Maynard had an Albert Strange Gaff Cutter "Ariel" and to be honest she was a bit of a tub. Didn't go to windward at all, nontheless we had some fun adventures. He also worked with Jamie Clay on Venture (back in the 90's I think) in a cold barn in an Essex field close to the River Blackwater. The Tally Ho project is an absolute work of art and it is a pleasure slowly watching her come together in the most perfect way. You should be very proud.

You suddenly realise the difference in measurement from the deck to the keel vs the deck to the top of the top mast. The whipping on the leather eyes is beautifull and the complexity of the standing rigging is becoming obvious. Great episode guys!!!

Haha. I can say it now the mast is up without knocking on wood. I remember a sea story read long ago - Patrick O'Brien probably - where a crew raising a topmast came under fire and let go the heel line. The mast fell and pierced the hull. The ship went down. Gladly not a possibility here. Congrats to all on that beautiful mast and rigging!

Having been a long distance hiker, rock and Ice climber, and a tree climber, topper for a few years, the views of your activities on mounting the top mast struck a chord close to my heart. Your professionalism and paramount consideration to the safety of your crew is remarkable and laudable. There is an old adage about climbing vertical faces which states, "over 50 fatal". It really doesn't matter whether 100 or 600 feet above a terminal stop, the result will be the same. Thank you for showing the remarkable views from the top mast. And thank you for protecting the lives of the climbing crew who provided us with those magnificent sights.

It must have felt wonderful while aloft on the top mast. You and your crew are an amazing group of dedicated professionals. You must be proud of them all.

Magnificent. I have never been on a sail boat and never had the desire to own one. However this build is only described as “magnificent “. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Leo and crew!

I have been watching from the beginning and I Will say that I NEVER IMAGINE that your boat would turn out to be such a fine piece of maritime artwork! It truly is a piece of art and that is a reflection of the incredible talent of all the people that have been involved in this boat!

Been following pretty much since the beginning and this feels like one of 'those' videos, like pouring the lead keel, moving to PT, adding the caulking. Super stuff!!!

The highly skilled craftsmanship of your crew has transferred into the art of climbing that was unexpected. I’m impressed by all the members and their attention to detail and safety.

Thank you so much for explaining how the top mast is hoisted into position - without the use of a crane. As a fan of the Patrick O'Neil series of novels I was always dumbfounded by how they raised the upper and top masts when at sea. For years I had been searching for information on the procedure, to no avail. This has now put my mind at ease. Thanks again.

Of course it's raining, it's Puget Sound! Some gaff-rigs would lower the top-mast partially for heavy weather or winter sailing to reduce sail and reduce weight-aloft as the top-sail and top-sail rigging isn't needed. This is particularly true for traditional fishing boats that sailed out of need not pleasure.

It's good to see you taking the climbing rigs seriously.. I ran my own climbing crew for over 5 years, trimming trees around power lines. It's fun being up high like that; it keeps the heart pumping well. :)

It's very satisfying to look back at earlier videos and plot Tally Ho's progress. Watching Leo setting the delicate weather-vane in place 'up top' is in wonderful contrast to one of my favourite videos - that of when he was manoeuvring and jointing those monstrous slabs of purpleheart that went into the boat's keel. Great stuff! 🙂

Never mind setting Tally Ho's topmast, more episodes of Dutchess of Desire! Boat looks so good having the mast and spars fitted and the crew is, as always, great.

How is the mast protected from lightning? PS: Tally Ho crew delivers the only YT commercials I don't skip.

@calholli 2 месяца назад

I would say-- you could run a ground wire down the mast.. but then that just brings the fireball right down to your level. Not a great plan. :) ... Wood has a pretty high resistance, especially when covered with this much paint and lacker, etc.

@Pali65 2 месяца назад

@@calholli well, if you don't have Dyneema rigging you have probably steel shrouds which cause quite a strong and sharp electric field so lightning can hit you with high probability. So I wonder if there is some wire to lead the electric current down to water where I would expect some grounding plates or something. Without wiring the current can wander around with unexpected result.

@calholli 2 месяца назад

@@Pali65 The main counter weight is a giant beam of lead.. all along the bottom ridge. I'm sure it would be easy to bolt a copper wire to it.

This is a note to Patty: Are you racing the SEVENTY48 again this year? Brandon tells me that you are building an updated PT Wherry "in your spare time." Which I know you don't have much of. After talking with you about your boat at last year's finish line, I designed and built a similar doubles wherry for this year's race. Look for Team HerbertSons. I hope to see you on the water! Building your wherry is just as much an endurance event as the race. The Confucius quote applies to both: "It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop."
