Tally Ho gets a compass and a winter shed! 

One of the most spectacular electrical panels I've seen.

Yes, great cable management. Sounds/seems/looks very sophisticated.

Agreed! ♥️

as an electrician, I approve this comment... although, more use of conduit would be nice, however being on a boat I'll accept it.

@@77marioland Tally Ho has better wiring than many houses I've seen and lived in!

and it's even got carpet!

Leo and crew got me on the front door thing. Seeing them cut into the hull planking ( nice little piece of mock-up) had me convinced. I even went back over previous episodes to find the door.

Well, yeah, it's free.

Honestly most of it looks completely over-engineered and way more effort than it’s worth. More like an art project than a “form-follows-function” vessel ;)

​@@Mike-oz4cvagreed. But they do it so well!!

I appreciate both kinds of things existing in the world. This one feels very zen to me. Like it’s as much about the process than it is about the product.

@@Mike-oz4cv What part of this vessel does not follow function? Bronze is the best material for exposed metal on a boat because it does not corrode. Every single appointment on the deck and internally serves a function. Caprails are sculpted to a smooth curve so water sheds off them and they won’t splinter or split. And wood that is well finished lasts longer in a marine environment. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and the rain cover looks sharp and strong because they are on the seaboard in an area where storm winds can blow strong, and its drum tight so the plastic won’t belly down with accumulated rain potentially tearing it and dumping a hundred gallons on the deck. It’s just tacked together, But built by guys who know how to build things.

I was going to say the same thing. They can definitely shrink wrap my boat!

I certainly hope so

Well hopefully. Otherwise he would have to stop making videos once the ship is finished

Pretty sure Leo has said this before about the future of the channel.

Not to worry because this goddamn boat is never gonna be finished

I hope so. I’m so invested at this point now I want to learn the sailing side of sail boats.

I have a question about the electronics. I've heard of boats being hit by lightning and frying the electronics. Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this happening?

@@deanjones2525 Yes , don't get struck by lightening... 😎😎😎

I noticed that too. I've never been so taken with an electrical panel! It's art and logic combined. A whole brain experience. I like this channel because you get to see the work that skilled tradesmen do on a daily basis. I hope that lots of young people watch and find fulfilling careers to pursue.

no,.you cannot stop a lightning strike. but i read you can put a lightning rod at the highest point, and a low resistance path to a metal grounding plate under water @@deanjones2525

Another retired electrician who always paid particular attention to doing very "tidy" terminations so I totally agree with the other commenters on the critique of the electrical work as well as the admiration and importance related to the extremely high level of skill being displayed ALL AROUND !!!

@@iridium8341- funny !! Also Elon is a d#cK and Leo isn’t 🎉

Ah, found the “free speech for me not for thee.” guy.

I have an archival set of New Zealand paper nautical charts waiting on her visit. I'd say a two year stay would probably be a minimum to do justice to the amazing coastal waters.

we are in Cape Town !!!

I thought the same! It was amazing

@@timogeerties3487 Yes, the warm interior light looked gorgeous.

Nice P O'Brian reference I spy here Matey ! Love his books . I reckon Supertramp would do a free concert for Leo too !

Yeah during winter in the Pacific Northwest....have at it bro!

“Colorful jargon” eh? Just don’t ask about the traditional etymological description of laid or twisted rope - at least if you value your British stiff upper lip …

@@Kathikas1 I'm American and written comments allow me to disguise the fact that I don't talk so good. Any joke involving dicks, farts, or poop will leave me giggling uncontrollably. I'm quite at home here.

There are quite a few commonly used phrases in UK that originated from the days of sailing ships and the Royal navy. One of my favourites it the origin of "That's let the cat out of the bag"

I was chuckling when he was answering this question and my wife says "Why does he have two pencils in his hat?" 1:08 lol And like you said, they are a really great and talented crew! It's going to be very bittersweet to see them finish the build.

And in many many years from now when he dies…it’ll be into the hole he goes!😢

@@stevebutterworth1937 aren't you a ray of sunshine🤣you must be a hoot at parties, weddings, and funerals.😂😂😂

More of a liability really.....a good keel hauling wouldn't go amiss.

You want to keel haul Patrick? What did he ever do to deserve such a cruel punishment? @@bertplank9892

@@sunny71169 it was actually a Dave Allen sketch for funerals …in the name of the father and son and the holy ghost ( hole he goes!)…brilliant! RIP!

I would be highly surprised if every single one of them does not have a folder full of job offers from which to choose once the Tally Ho build is completed.

Only way it would have been better is if they had been able to include it in a "Duchess of Desire" promo!

Drapes not drops; but I hear you......😉

Also a shame he said he wants the kids to read good. It should be read well.

@@teeanahera8949 It's a _ZOOLANDER_ homage - Sense of humor meets pop culture - try to keep up!

@@teeanahera8949 Zoolander....

Yeah, but I bet it was built a lot quicker....

@@desotosky1372 , Then he wouldn't get YT funding ??

They could do just as good work, the technology wasn't as good tho. The things done then were just as outstanding as they are today, they just took longer or were more expensive (more craftsmen finished faster, but costed more).

The biggest improvement is fastening it with silicon bronze bolts. It will last way longer than the original iron fastenings.

Plus in the Old days they wouldn't have had to worry about having a president who was one brick short of a load with a wife who has a doctorate printed on the back of a cornflakes packet. Biden should be made to walk the gang plank of course and given a barnacle massage ...

Yikes is it really 6 years already.

And only 2 years to go.

To have such an excellent and prominent example of the kindness of strangers is a great balm to me in these troubled times, as I'm sure it is to many.

Normally Leo publishes a video every two weeks. However, sometimes an extra (bonus) video comes along, mostly for some mportant reason. The reason last week was of course the passing of Darlene, Leo's host in Sequim

No they would say "we need to make money on this stop being so meticulous"

I think he would have had a less aggressive schedule and likely less level of finish. As he gets more resources, the goalpost of how good the bost will be goes up

Well he jacked up the hull, dropped the ballast keel & the timber keel - then built & installed the new timber keel, pert' much solo. Early days, but that work proved that he had the ability.

That’s pretty much how all these channels start. A go pro, a dollar, some time off, and a whole load of determination.

Would that be Mr Engel?

And the bottom left is two mins out

@@johnvanhal2450 Yes it is !

@@rogersimpson4061 True - it's not perfect but the effort is there. 😄

I always thought the phrase was appropriate for plumbing. "Don't sweat the small stuff--use compression fittings!"

Minus that not actually being the etymology...

The two sailors behind the pin rail are in for a treat and a great work out. They grab their lines, pushing forward, pulling back into a squatting position, and then forward/down to the pin. By creating this triangle with their bodies, they pull the last of the slack to the pin, while we, at the pin, take up on the line. We continue to take up as much slack as possible until the mate calls, “That’s well starboard! That’s well port!” (Coincidently, this is where the phrase “don’t sweat the small stuff” comes from. Not only is it usually unnecessary to sweat smaller lines, since they can be tightened just by hauling, but it also puts undo strain on them.)

⁠@@RandomActofWillExcept it IS the etymology. Sorry. By a whopping lot of ‘supposed’ etymology is based in ignorance of the trades or turns of speech they actually derive from. For example I once read an etymology of “spitting image” as having to do with some Greek myth about a god spitting out their progeny. In fact, it’s just a corruption of the phrase “Spirit and image”. As in someone being the spirit and image of some relative. Lots of idioms of this kind actually come from trades. “Go pound sand” is from foundry work, where the lowest skill job in the foundry that you set the least knowledgeable person to is pounding sand into the cope and drag. “Rule of thumb” is from the fact that if you forgot your folding ruler or tape measure you can obtain a pretty good rough measure of something by leapfrogging your thumbs side by side because a man’s thumb is almost exactly an inch wide. ‘Ring of Truth’ and ‘Sound Investment’ are from stone yards, because if you strike a stone with a hammer ( called ‘sounding’) and it makes a dull thud, you know it has a crack internally, but if the stone is ‘true’ it rings like a bell. Because etymologists often have zero knowledge of trades, you can find false etymology for lots of terms that originate with trades, especially trades that have faded away over time.

Don't ask where "blackballed" and "Giving you the third degree" come from!

_Zoolander!_

Von Tripp, to keep it classy. 😁

_EXACTLY!_ The only thing you know for certain is that you never know .. ... .

You shouldn't call the people working on the vessel "Nuts" that go into it.

@@edwardschmitt5710 I'm not sure where you got that comment from but it was not me. I'll quote my comment. I said "I watched every nut, bolt, screw and board"

Don't worry will be watching for years to come.... YT money keeps coming in :-)

+1 Would be great to share a few beers with any of them.

13:19 - “finally get to do some bricklaying round here”. Brilliant!!😂

Same here. Pity that the sequence is only one video per 2 weeks.(Most of the time) I wouldn't complain even when he was churning out 2 videos per day! I know that's not possible, but I can dream...

Binnacle compasses (I reckon) go well with an exposed cockpit. You tend to keep your head tipped forward, so the brim of your foulweather hood takes the brunt when the apparent wind is from ahead and loaded with spindrift or even green water. A lowmounted compass suits this circumstance nicely. It's also well positioned for swinging the compass, and/or re-establishing the deviation chart, using the shadow pin, something voyaging boats sometimes may have to do when far from civilisation.
