Tally Ho out in the BIG WIDE WORLD! 

I’m jumping with joy for Leo and the team!! I like to say, “80% of the work finished, with only 80% to go!”

At this juncture I would give a shout-out to all the many people who have laid hands on the boat before but are not with the crew anymore. There were a lot of talented people who made it all happen,

I am an Emmy award-winning television producer, who produced hundreds of hours of primetime television for a number of networks. I have been watching this channel since episode one I have never missed an episode. I can safely say that this is world-class content and Leo is as good a television producer as he is a boat builder. Congratulations to the entire team. Just fantastic.

it's not a boat. it's a piece of woodworking at it's finest. A craftsman's dream

What a task just removing everything from the indoor storage, this must reduce your costs, not paying for indoor storage any more, it looked massive in the shed, when you get it out and see the other boats next to it, it looks normal. Leo, the mast looks like octanginal wooden glass, the finish is spectacular. Hats off to anybody who laid a hand on this build, the boat is stunning, the engineering and details that went into this build, and all the angles that had to be figured out, and keeping this project on task, well Leo, you are quite the engineer, slash project manager, slash purchasing manager and everything needed to keep this project moving forward, just an incredible accomplishment you have pulled off here, hats off to you and the crew, it looks absolutely stunning my friend. When the snow hits and it gets covered, I might get a tear in my eye, it is definetly time for the crew to have some beers, what an accomplishment by everyone involved.

After retirement I took a year off to sail my 1984 Passport 40. Upon returning to the yard I was asked if I was looking for a job. No! After a bit of discussion, I spend winters in Mexico, I accepted a seasonal position @ a well known yacht yard in Chicago as a rigger. The yard owner had seen how much I cared and knew about rigging since I’d stored my boat @ his yard since the 1st year he relocated to his new location. I learned a lot in 2 years. The yard stepped and unstepped more than 200 boats every year. Some big, some small. Guy named Matt owned a 100 yr old Alden, he really loved that boat. Wayne, a nationally know boatsmith worked on the Alden every winter. Wayne helped me with my boat a few times. I watched him replace the deck, rebuild the transom, replace ribs. The first 2 years @ the yard I followed instructions and learned a lot about stepping masts. For a couple of years the below deck rigger boss would tell the second below rigger what he wanted the crane operator to do to move the mast, the second below deck rigger would send the message by hand signals to the crane operator. Matt was always on site. Couple of years later I was the crew leader. And then we got headsets. I could actually talk to Daddy Dick, the crane operator. Life was good. Matt was no longer on site when we stepped his mast. Matt’s mast went through the deck 3-4’ and then went through the dining table then the tenon had to match the step. Not more than 1/4” space on a round hole. Never once in my 10 years there did Matt’s mast ever come within 1/16” of contact with the 100 yr old table. Fun times taking as much care of other sailors boats as I took care of mine.

I'm glad Leo listened to his better angels and relented on the mezzanine. Not maiming your employees is a crucial component to being a good leader.

I also noticed how all the other boats looked a bit jealous as Tally Ho moved among them. There were likely whispers across the dance floor of the yard of, “Oh my God, I wish that I was as beautiful as she is!”

This is the only channel where I don’t skip the sponsored add. I love these videos, can’t wait for the last move into water!!

Such a huge milestone! Massive respect to all of you for working hard!

Good to see the old girl back outside. The mast is a work of art in and of itself. Fantastic workmanship on this project!

She’s a stunner! And the mast is on another level altogether.. I know you guys must be proud of yourselves.

that grin on your face in the opening piece just says it all

I still can't believe the amount of detail involved in this project-much kudos to Leo for keeping track and orchestrating it.

This whole project is one giant torch shining a light on goodness in humanity, the quest for competence and skill applied , and great people. Thank you.

I hereby declare for all to know: boatbuilders are the goldsmiths of woodworking

The best sponsorship videos ever. I actually look forward to them and am disappointed when you don't do them. Crazy right?

Thinking about all the talented craftspeople whose soul- and finger-prints are built into this sail-able art -- I'm also thinking about all the people (me included) who Tally Ho has touched, through Leo's amazing video chronicles -- another brighter Saturday (during a pretty dark week for our world) because of this video installment. Is it weird that we viewers and patrons, too, along with Leo and Company, are feeling something like enormous pride?! Again, again, I feel sort of emotional watching these videos -- its mostly the shots of Leo's face and expression (and other team members, too) that gets to me -- so grateful to feel like a small, remote part of this community -- just awesome!

I really feel like there's only about 2 years left before she sails!!!

I love that you moved a forklift with a forklift

Leo, thats been a good 7 years work of a 2 year project from a very sad looking historic vessel to a very proud historic vessel. Congratulations to all of the crew that have passed through the workshop and also to the present crew. We're 7 years into our 5 year restoration / rebuild of a Herreshoff Marco Polo. We're looking forward to when Tally Ho finally wets her bottom.

Been watching Leo since the beginning. Shes a brand new boat. Sail her well, go on adventures, well deserved brother.. all y'all hard accurate work has paid off

That was a good picture of all of you together in front of the boat. Timeless.

Boats belong outdoors… good for Tally Ho! Great job once again by Leo and the entire team!

"Hey! How we gonna move that forklift?" "Use that slightly bigger forklift." "Yeah, but how do we get THAT forklift over there?" "I've got an idea!"

Installing the mast and rigging is a major milestone in this incredible project. It won’t be long until y’all are going to be trying to decide on where to sail next.

10:33 Damn, Leo couldn't possibly look happier if he tried. It's so exciting to see the progress after all these years.

WHY am I so weepy and emotional in every.single. video? No project, video, crew has ever moved me like this one. Been here for every step and every step has been an epic triumph of Leo's dedication, perseverance, insane mental acuity, intensely beautiful craftsmanship and the ability to hold it all together for years now. My hat's off to this magnificent crew of men and women who are like nothing I've ever seen. PROUD does not describe my feelings. Hat's off....salute.....cheers and well frigging done. My friends, you bow to no one... ❤

I woke up this morning and the first thing that popped into my head was "Tally Ho comes out of the shed today!". I may need to seek professional help. Anyway, this was so exciting. Way to go, guys and gals. 🙂⛵

I cannot imagine the stress of taking a big-ass drill to the hull and just thinking "This is going to be fiiiiine...". Fantastic as always and I cannot wait to see the mast stepped.

I just want to say, that smile you had in the intro Leo is the smile of a huge accomplishment! I know that smile all to well.

This is the only video cast I watch where the sponsor's adds aren't fast forwarded. You guys do a great job not just in displaying your building skills but also in entertainment. Congratulations on your achievements.

It's amazing to see how much goes into a project like this and we can only hope this boat lasts for a LONG LONG time!

It gave me goosebumps way back here in Michigan. Can't wait until Tally Ho hits the water.

This boat is a such beaut, she's going to have eyes on her everywhere she docks. Feel proud

As fans of Patrick O'Brien's Master and Commander books, whenever we launch our boat after a long time ashore, the boat seems to come alive, and we always shout 'She Swims, She Swims!'; watching this we get a little prefiguring of that moment but with 'She Flies, She Flies!'.

A big day on the way to The Big Day. There's something about the way the boat finds her balance in the slings that gives an inkling that she is coming alive again - Like a giant stirring from slumber. So pleased for you, Leo.

I watch these videos from Tupelo Mississippi I'm an old pensioner I think you'd call me I build toy boats out of mahogany and ya'll are just magnificent . People who actually act on their dreams I envy.

There she is! A brand new boat. What a beauty!

Massively massive massiveness back at ya.....that mast looks like a piece of sculpture

Congrats She is looking wonderful! Thanks Leo and crew for taking me on your recreation of her.🎉🎉

The mast is breathtakingly beautifully crafted.

I went back 5 years or so just to refresh my memory of where Tally Ho and Leo have come from. So many real challenges that would have been daunting to even the most optimistic and patient of people. Leo you are special mate, you looked like you were 12 back then but with the vision and maturity of 60 year old salty old dog. All the people that have come and gone along the way is testament to your character and skill across all aspects of boat building. So satisfying watching your dream come true. Cheers to you and that awesome crew you have there now.

Under craftsmanship in the dictionary only two words are required “ Tally Ho”!

This is now officially my favorite channel.

Pretty amazing when you think of it, From a one dollar pile of rot to this. Congratulations. I continue to be very impressed.

Now that's fantastic Leo! It's good seeing Tally Ho out in the open air where she belongs! 👍👍

Hi Leo and your team. Quite moving (excuse the phun) to see her in the straddle lift getting closer to the sea. She looks really nice and the mast !!!! well it looks like a piece of quality furniture and will fit well with the top quality workmanship on her. Well done. Ian

Congratulations with the mast: it look gorgeous! And with the milestone of needing to go out to make further progress. Things are coming along nicely!

Please tell me I'm not the only one that got teary-eyed when she was lifted up!

It’s exciting for me too watching your videos from Bergamo near Milan in Italy

Congratulations to all the hard working people, including yourself,it’s been a pleasure to follow your passion and progress.

The old girl is in the elements again! Massive step forward for Tally Ho and Leo's awesome crew. The mast is stunning. 😊

This Is Art! Boatbuilder, sailor AND artist. Very zen the high craft displayed. So many fine talents reaching for the stars on this project. Lighting a giant cosmic Ahhhh, Tallyho comes into being. Watchers are participants too. One fine event unfolding here. Thanks so much to you Leo and all the crew. Patreons too, thank you. Great pathos, cinema photography, humour, love, honesty, but above all, the highest mark of craft that is true art.

As a retired shipwright - What a big day ! First time out the shed is so so huge , especially multi year builds. Congratulations to you and your crew.

Welcome to the world tally ho, You meant a lot too many of us over the last couple of years. Hopefully I will watch your progress till my last.

Fantastic milestone for Tally Ho. Congratulations to Leo and the Tally Ho dream team. The glimpse of the mast at the end is such a tease for the next episode. Looking forward to watching it next week. Thanks for sharing!

As an 81 year old not in the best of health and having watched from the very beginning I was thrilled to see her moving in the strops, my wish now is to see her bobbing in the water God willing. Best wishes to a fantastic group of people from the UK

Exciting times for Tally Ho! That mast is a work of art --- like Tally Ho herself! I live just outside Port Townsend and driver through the boatyard pretty much every time I'm in town. For a couple of years I've been looking every visit to see if the door was up so I could see Tally Ho. Now I can see her every time, but not all that clearly. Oh, well. Looking forward to seeing the mast! Am I the only one thinking Tally Ho has the best advertisements in the history of advertising?

Let her BREATHE!

Love this story and the people ……..all amazing…….love you guys and ladies, so so professional !

Leo, yours is the only AG1 advertisement that I haven't skipped. You guys are FUNNY. The group's creativity and humor make it worth watching. It's amazing to see the Tally Ho finally leaving its indoor location. What a day! So glad we got to see the mast! Can't wait 'til next time.

I love your sponsor skits Leo. I typically fast forward through most channels sponsor advertisements but I look forward to yours. Great work team!!!

This venture is a master class in how very talented craftsmen do things , way to go . Leo Congratulations from a ancient mariner.

I've been watching since the beginning. This is a day to remember, the quality of craftsmanship is just mind blowing. Thank you all for allowing us to view.

Can't believe how fare you come from when I first started watching you build this special boat.

In late-1967, I joined the crew of 'Zigeuner', a 1936 63' yawl, and we sailed her from Las Palmas to Barbados. Somewhere in our wake was' Tally Ho'. We took 23 days to cross in light winds. 'Tally Ho', being not at all suited to light airs (as her gale-hammered 1927 Fastnet win proved), took over 28 days and they almost ran out of water. Always pushing the envelope, that old lady.

As usual, you made my saturday!

I dare say that must have been a less stressful move than the last one. Good to see her out in the sunlight again. That mast looks good on the ground, can't wait to see it in its proper location. Thanks for sharing!

That mast is a thing of beauty. I mean Tally Ho as a whole is a work of art but the mast is the chef's kiss.

I love the commercials, it’s funny you actually pay more attention to them the way you do it

Lol @ "I've been drinking athletic greens for quite a few days now!" Love the sarcastic ads

i have followed since she was a shrink wrapped one dollar salvage. weekly enjoyment but watching her fly out of the shed beginning her journey back into her element. brought tears to my eyes. thank you, Leo and crew. nice work

I am also one of the early ones who found the channel at episode one. I haven't missed an episode yet! I want to go see Tally Ho someday.

BEAUTY! Another Huge Milestone Passed! TALLY HO A GoGo!!!

Congratulations on yet another milestone! I have watched and subscribed since the first video and thought the project might last 2-3 years. Here we are, and each week I have been astounded by the craftsmanship, but that is the sexiest wooden mast I have ever seen. The finish and the fittings are a teaser of more to come.

Good to see her outside :)

Mast is a thing of beauty. I'm always wishing Leo would put more loving slow pans over the boat so we can soak up all the fine craftsman ship that has been done.... But I want to note for anyone else whose watching, Leo sometimes posts nice high res photos on the Patreon, which you can lovingly pan across on your own accord. So that's pretty nice.

Seeing it outside gives a real feel of just how beautiful this boat is. I'm really looking forward to seeing it under sail.

I don't know about the rest of you but I am getting very anxious as this amazing project nears completion. It has been a wonderful journey with Leo and the team and I dread it ending. I must add, the thought of making an error drilling through the huge timber of the stem and the hull penetrations would be nerve racking! Well done all.

❤molto felice è un vero capolavoro 😅

Exciting times! So many milestones on so many boat builds lately. Congrats to the TallyHo crew for getting it this far!

what a very proud moment for yourself and the crew now and passed many a good hand .She looks beautiful made up for you our kid

That rudder is beautiful.

More progress. Every little bit brings the boat closer to launch. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Tally Ho looks so big in the shed, and so small in the yard!

I haven't kept up with all the episodes on this build but want to express my admiration for the skill and dedication of all the crew who are making the dream come true. Can't wait to see her sail.

Wow... We are older now, so cannot do the backflip celebrating. A true milestone. Great work, fantastic progress.

Congratulations and respect in achieving this important milestone.Keep up the good work.Greetings from Gibraltar.

The lines of this boat are a tribute to the genius of Albert Strange. With all due respect to the other vessels in the yard, Tally Ho stands out almost like a goddess among mere mortals. Congratulations to the team! Also, that mast is slick. It seems to be perfect. Can't wait to see it stepped. It was so exciting to see the dance on the mezzanine. A cultural event of great significance.

Congratulations Leo and all of the hard-working crew!

This was one of the best video episodes of Tally Ho rebuilding I've seen. Great seeing her out of the shed and 'yardworthy' (as it were) out in the yard. Good going Leo, guys/girls, and Poncho too... Nice

So Awesome She is Outside in the Fresh air Even Closer to the water where She Belongs!! Great Work Everyone 😃

What a splendid vessel.

I almost lost my stuff when Tally Ho started shaking while moving in the lift.😮

I think we can all agree that it's always been Leo. His courage, tenacity, talent, and charisma has held this project together all these years. Bravo, Leo! Thank you for bringing us along on this once in a lifetime adventure.

Really excited to see Tally Ho in the swings. Always a moment of joy to see when a plan comes together. Cudos to the A team that made all this come together. ❤🎉

Congratulations ❤

I have built a couple of new masts for my schooner, but that mast for Tallyho is a work of art.

Ever and ever again i am facinated by the Quality and beauty of your work.
