Sad news. 

Devastating. Without her generosity, this project would not even exist. Rest in peace.

"It's amazing what a boat can do". Those words deserve a place somewhere on the Tally Ho!

Raul looked so tired, lost, and broken. If you see this message take. A minute and try to visualize him being happy and worry free surrounded by people he loves, or send him a prayer. Rest in peace you beautiful thing.

"It's amazing what a boat can do" That got me tearing right up 🥺

What a kind and respectful message Leo (and Tally Ho community) to let us know she passed peacefully, and her way. Her memories will be the wind in Tally Hos sails. Godspeed

RIP Darlene. I still remember her crying when Leo moved out. At that point I knew she loved him as her son. Thank you Leo for filling her (and Raul) last years with joy and happiness

My mom was very close with Darlene, she was one of the kindest people that I’ve ever met.

RIP Darlene, thank you for being such a kind hearted person, I honestly would like the boat being named after her.

Fine fine example of good people. What a fitting video to honor Darlene's legacy. You are a good man, Leo. Condolences.

Darlene is not suffering anymore but I'm sure Raul will miss her terribly. The kindest people like Darlene think of others before themselves - rest in peace and strength to Raul.

The broken boat. Still saves a life in a ocean of sorrow. She seemed like really beautiful lady. And I am sorry the world lost such a beautiful lady.

A very Dear Friend of mine also passed during the build time of Tally Ho, he was the one the made me aware of this Video series. He was a passionate sailer and donor to this wonderful project. I just wanted to acknowledge him and the great many supporters of this immense project. A Special thanks to Leo and his team. Peace to all.

Rarely do we get the chance to see people with such a deep and all encompassing generosity as Darlene and Rahul. As good of a shipwright and project manager as Leo is, I think his true super power is to surround himself with people of genuine integrity and spirit.

"It's amazing what a boat can do" No truer words have EVER been spoken. I don't think the full impact of your project will ever be fully understood. I like many others found it during Covid. An outlet. A window. A vision. A place for sanity. A place of hope. Although I have never met any in person , I feel as though I am hanging out with a group of friends. The outpouring for Raul and Darlene further proves there is a large group of like minded folks hanging out too! Hasn't always been fun , but it has been real and THAT is much appreciated. Thank you to Leo for having the tenacity not just to take on the project but for the willingness to document the journey so we all can come along for the ride too!

RIP Darlene and my prayers for Rahul. I am struggling with my own health issues and just yesterday I found out my college roommate from 1976 died in a motorcycle accident 3 years ago during Covid lockdown. He survived 5 weeks in the hospital and they only let his wife in to see him twice. I feel blessed for the time God has given me with my wife of 30 years. The Tally Ho will forever be a part of Darlene and Rahul's legacy. Thank you for sharing and helping them Leo.

Sorry to hear this bad news. Thanks for your support to the family.

Yep I’m crying several thousand miles away in England for a person I’ve never met. This boat really has created a family hasn’t she. My thoughts to everyone.

The world needs more people like them. Thanks for letting us know.

R.I.P. DARLENE Many thanks to DARLENE & RAUL For all the assistance given to the Tally Ho Project. DARLENE will be Sadly missed by all, non more than RAUL.😢

From Ireland 🇮🇪☘️. Deeply saddened by this news. Have been following Tally Ho since the beginning. The wonderful generosity in all it’s forms by so many has been more than heart warming and uplifting. RIP. Fair sailing.

Thank you Darlene, for your generosity and compassion. Peace to Raul and all the Tally Ho family.

YOU GUYS, you folks, you raised $100,000 for this couple?! I am amazed. This channel is a wonderful community. You all are marvelous.

Had the honor and pleasure of meeting both Darlene and Raul at the open house. Raul mentioned Darlene's health struggles to me, but you would have never known talking with her. She radiated a brilliant warmth and contentment during our brief conversation. Sending all my positive vibes and thoughts to you Raul.

Leo the one thing that will always stick with me about why Darlene was a warm lovin soul. I remember it was the day you were moving Tally Ho to her new build spot. When everything was all bundled and secured it was time for you to leave and say good bye. Darlene standing there with her husband watching you leave she began to cry. My hearts of hearts tell me that she took you like a son which probably made her feel like she was sending off one of children into the big new world. 🤗 Condolences to the family and Bigs thanks to them for letting you start on Tally Ho in the yard so we subs could watch Tally’s new beginning.

I remember seeing your first workshop and thinking, "Who shares a space like that?" Then you introduced us to Darlene and Rahul and it all suddenly made sense. Darlene and Rahul are a rare breed and they will forever be part of Tally Ho in my mind. Thank you for sharing her kind message.

Among the many mysteries of how the Tally Ho project has come together, the first step - having a place to set up, sophisticated machines, and housing - is like a miracle. Darlene and Raoul's generosity was clearly easy for them, as they so quickly understood the good man you are. Very sorry for your loss.

❤Darleen🙏 what a wonderful brave woman. ❤️

"It's amazing what a boat can do" ~Darleen

RIP Darlene. Raul, my thoughts are with you. Leo, you are a good man.

Leo, that was a lovely and appropriate memorial for Darlene. To handle that with such calm eloquence, during your own grief, is another reason for us to admire and respect you.

This channel is a perfect example of the best of humanity. We came together to support Leo in accomplishing the impossible: to rebuild a thing of beauty that had fallen into ruin. From the very beginning it was obvious that Leo was capable of completing this heroic task, and I along with many many other were inspired to support him. Darlene and Raul being first and foremost. That they opened their shop, and home, to Leo at the get-go was a stunningly generous act of faith in Leo. As always, every act of open generosity is amply rewarded. They gave to the Tally Ho project with no expectation other than a beautiful boat, but they received such generosity that Raul is going to be taken care of now that Darlene is gone. The clip of Darlene and Raul is such a gift to me, a supporter from Episode #3. A massive massive thank-you to Leo for giving me this.

"It's amazing what a boat can do." - Darlene. RIP, Darlene. This community is about life, and life is about death, too. Sincere thanks, Leo.

The best thing you can say about someone; they left the world a better place. Condolences to the family.

Her last message was making sure her sweetheart was taken care of and giving us thanks. We all need to thank her for showing what being a genuine, loving person is. A complete selfless human, as I watched the tears fell, we lost a wonderful women but gained an angel. The tally ho family and community is such a wonderful place of love and support! I agree, it’s amazing what a boat can do ❤

A beautiful tribute video to a such a good friend and supporter. Your closing was a warm, peaceful wish to Darleen as were her wonderful words to the Tally Ho community.

This is the first video of this channel that was suggested to me by YT. Nevertheless, the video makes me very sad. I am so sorry. R.I.P. Darleen. May you sail in the vastness of the sky.

Darlene leaves a lasting legacy and everyone following Tally ho will forever remember her and Rahul's contributions and kind nature. What legends. Onward.❤

When Tally Ho was moved, I was struck that Darlene was so emotional! Up until then, it had not occurred to me that the two of them were themselves personally invested in the project... It's inspirational to get a glimpse into what a bunch of genuinely nice people can achieve. And especially that so many people, across continents, are prepared to offer support to complete strangers. There is hope for us yet; it is easy to lose sight of all the good in the World.

Hi Leo. I thank you for allowing me to know Darlene though this channel. I really felt presence her way down here in Australia.She will live on as part of Tally Ho history. What a good life and passing she was blessed with. I have shed a few tears already and I will pray her and Rahal from way down under. Keep going with the project she obviously loved and wanted to be a part of.

Leo, as with all of the long time followers of your channel, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Darlene. I know how close you guys were. On a happier note, it is amazing to see how beautifully the cap and tap rails turned out. Those corner pieces are just spectacular and they tie everything together so well! Congratulations to all on another part of Tally Ho so very well done. Cheers.

I've just realised how tied up mentally and emotionally I was with Tally Ho and all who have been involved in her reconstruction. This news has brought me to tears. I have followed from the beginning. My respects go to the family along with thanks for what you did for Leo and the boat. God bless you in this life and the next. Greetings from Essex, UK.

You're a class act, Leo. That was a very touching tribute. May she rest in peace.

That was clearly an incredibly difficult video to make Leo. You handled it with grace and dignity....the same way Darlene lived her life. This project is, in a way, a part of her legacy. You are most certainly doing that legacy proud.

Thank you, Leo. That was a beautiful send off. I'm sure you and Tally Ho had a very special place in her heart. And bless Raoul.

I only wish that the world was full of people like Darlene. Rest in Peace lovely lady. ❤

Leo, if Raul needs another fundraiser for his future medical bills, I'm sure we'll all be happy to chip in! Just say the word!

God Bless, Darleen and Rahul! And, God Bless you and your wonderful Community for being so Loving and Supportive! What a Beautiful example of Love

Sad that this is the first video I found from your channel. God bless Darlene and Raoul, and I hope Darlene rests easy, knowing she has left behind a legacy even the Rockefellers could never touch. Because of her and the Tally Ho, thousands of people, strangers mostly, have bonded together in the hope that this ship will sail again. Living history at it's finest, because of her and her husband's generosity. I now consider myself honored and blessed to join this community.

Darlene’s generosity is an inspiration. You honor her memory with your work.

The very existence of Tally Oh will ensure that Darlene’s memory lives on !!!

So sad that cancer can do this, PLEASE donate to a cancer charity, people such as this couple are few and far between we hardly ever saw them but their generosity towards Leo has stretched right around the world and given joy to many, RIP Darlene, Best wishes and condolences to Raul and the family.

Tough gig. Touching tribute. Tidy edit Leo. To all those who meant something that are gone before us. Good wishes to all from Ireland.

So sorry for the families loss. The Tally Ho project very likely would not have been had it not been for their generosity.. ❤️🙏😢

So sad to hear this. Before anyone else, they offered you and Tally Ho a home. The world's a lesser place for her loss. My condolences to you and the family. Give Pancho a few head pats too, poor birb will feel this, they're extraordinarily emphatic creatures.

I met Raul when he was ushering us after our tour of Tally Ho at the boat festival. It was a joy for me to meet him. It seemed like they were very generous. I hope Raul does well. Meeting him was a highlight of my festival weekend. Darlene will be missed.😢

Rest in Peace, Darlene. We pray for your well being, Raoul. 🙏🙏❤️

Darlene and Raul gave this RU-vid channel a place to develop and the tools to start building Tally Ho. They haven't done the heavy lifting but made that work possible. They inspired others to get involved and helped grow a wonderful community. It's wonderful to see that community turn around and help them. It's sad that Darlene will not witness the boat sailing, but will be there in spirit.

Very sad news about Darlene but what I got from. It is the power of community to help. Darlene and Raul were part of Leo’s community and when he needed a place to work on his boat, they were there. Years later, when they needed assistance the community that has formed around the Tallyho came together to help. It is amazing to be part of a community, and I’m grateful for Leo for all he has done to create a beautiful boat, a beautiful video series, and an amazing community.

Darleen and Raul are wonderful, kind, and generous souls. Their contributions to this project, and support for Leo, were critical. It's also great to see old Pancho hanging out with Leo as another reminder of the connection between Leo, the project, and Darleen and Raul.

Leo, What an incredibly touching eulogy! I fought back tears listening to Darlene with Raul by her side. I’m sure Darlene’s passing recounts a life generously and beautifully lived! “It’s amazing what a boat can do” ❤RIP❤

5:00 "... Fair Winds and Following Seas to Darlene . . . " may the mourning sun find Raul's heart warm with what was and what still is to be. Thanks to Leo for this graceful tribute. The community you have rallied around this historic project is awesome to behold.

Even in this sad time, it warms my heart to see the Parrot is back with the Tally Ho crew again. ❤🙏

After seeing only a few videos of the incredible work being done by Leo and this crew, this particular video caused me to go down the Tally Ho rabbit hole and I’ve been binge watching ever since. Almost a week of my life enjoying the work of Leo, the unpaid volunteers and the incredible paid artisans that have rebuilt this classic boat! I truly believe, after watching hours of videos, that we are seeing the birth of the next Jacques Cousteau, Marlin Perkins or David Attenborough. Leo is a man set on adventure and discovery. I will follow along his adventures, as long as he publishes them. God speed and full sails Leo!

My condolences. Very sad to hear this. We really have them to thank for Tally Ho got resurrected at all.

Rest in peace, Darlene and thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Darlene and Raul were generous beyond belief. Rest in peace Darlene.

I’ve just come to this channel via a recommendation from my son. I’m lost for words. Wooden boats and their people are always very special - I’m overjoyed to have found you and as the grandson of a cabinetmaker I appreciate the skill, especially working in teak! Ian (near Pinmill Suffolk England)

you and your fellow craftsman have been an inspiration to every craftsman and every loving human who has had the pleasure of following your dream from the beginning. Thank you.

Sad news, indeed. Thanks to her, and Raul. Great people. Thanks also to Pancho. You made me laugh through the tears.

Oh Leo, that is indeed sad news. My heart goes out to you, Raul, and all who knew and loved her. I am heartened to see that Pancho got to spend some time with her friends after such a loss. Bless you man.

Very nicely done, Leo. RIP, Darlene. Health and strength to Raul. All of you, humanity at its best. 🙏

Once again I have to shake my head in wild wonder at what you can do, your artistry, perseverance, and how noble you are. Sorry to hear about Darlene's passing. Strength to you, brother.

With all the bad news in the world its reassuring to know how many good people are out there. RIP Darlene

Thank you for the message Leo. Special people, a special project and an exceptionally special community. Cheers for the extremely sensitive and touching tribute.

This video exemplifies why this project is not just about building a boat. It is an extended act of love and compassion, an attractor and emanator of that energy, and a gift to all who feel her wake.

Sitting upright next to her lovely partner, speaking with a kind of dignity and courage, she does not say farewell--she instead muses on how the creation of something beautiful can bring people together. I'm sure that the life and creativity of the builders brought extra life into her during the last years. It's a very beautiful message. Thank you for sharing it.

You did such a wonderful job with this video and the passing of Darlene.

Rest in peace Darlene, fair winds and following seas.

Starts with a tear for Darleen and finished with two beautiful finales - The taff rail, beautiful woodwork at it's mindbogglingly good best and a lovely music and image rich pause for reflection to close. You all blow me away, and Leo, you are some kind of wizard. So many skills and arts, most of all, keeping all this together and handling it with such an agile touch. Watching this unfold over past 4? years has been an education and a joy - thanks to all of for sharing it.

That is so sad. All my love and positive energy to Raoul, Darlene friends and her family.

the Tally Ho project has given us an example of the beauty and power of love. so many thanks for all you do..

Rest in peace, Darlene. You and your husband helped this amazing project through your selfless generosity, Tally Ho is a testament to your live.

I haven't had the pleasure of being a part of this community but this was a very sad but beautiful send-off. Thoughts and prayers for the family. RIP I hope everyone can focus on the positive and have a great day.

This is my first time ever hearing about Darlene and this channel but it shows how good of a person Darlene was and I hope her husband stays strong!

Gone but never forgotten.. You're legacy will live on, Darlene ❤

Beautiful episode. Honored that Darlene Raul and Leo would share this time

Hello Leo, first of all I want to tell you that I am very sorry because Darlene lost this last fight, but I hope that from where she is, she is looking at you smiling and as always she will take care and be proud of you and of your entire team, which I must say that what you do there is simply art and total dedication. Thank you for sharing with us this wonderful story of Tally Ho and I send you only good thoughts from Romania.

“It’s amazing what a boat can do”. WOW. That quote needs a home on Tally Ho.

Gotta love Poncho. So sorry to hear of Darlene's passing. Her contribution to this project cannot be underestimated. Without her and Raul, this would probably have not been the success it has been. So glad to hear of the community's support for Darlene as well. Obviously a well-loved individual.

"Its amazing what a boat can do" should be the channels motto

As we all will pass someday, it is so wonderful that you and your community helped support her family as Darlene neared her life’s end. Thank you Leo for bringing us along on your journey.

They were such an important part of the entire project. So sorry to everyone who knew her and their families. Love and hugs from Ontario Canada.

Sad news indeed - respectfully conveyed with dignity and superb videography - the music and the metaphors of time and tide were simple but powerful. RIP Darlene.

What a special women may Darlene rest in peace. Raul you are not alone in this you have a whole community praying for you and your family.

Hi.Leo, how sorry I am to hear that tragic news, one of god’s chosen Angels, how privileged you were to meet this wonderful kindhearted woman, my best regards to you and the team,and her family.B.Haddock.

Fair winds and Following seas indeed. It is amazing what a boat can do. She will forever be a part of Tally Ho.

Thank you Tally Ho for bringing these people together when they needed each other the most.

This channel is a lesson of life and love. Godspeed, Darlene.

May her soul Rest In Peace and may God’s Light Perpetually shine upon her!

I believe the entire Tally Ho family feels it has lost a dear friend. Rest in peace....
