Tally Ho's bowsprit! 

Every time he says that, I’m thinking “Oh, he’s in a 12 step program”

now we just need episode numbers back.

haha.. and bob is his uncle! nice bow sprit!

But he was that last week, too! Can't we have some variety!??

Maybe for his last episode he just says "I'm a sailor".

🤣🤣🤣✅

Look Out!!!! Come away!!!!! Come away!!!!! "OMG would you look at how nice the bowsprit that hit Jim is varnished!!!!!"

I think Leo meant that in battle you "stick them with the pointy end"

I am salivating hoping I will soon see Tally-Ho under sail with the spray of the sea blowing over her deck. Beautiful yes, but please let's stretch her legs.

Dear @alanhenderson9092 👍👌👏 Almost exactly what I almost always think and also already commented. Tally Ho should be in a museum to show people how it can be done if excellent craftsmen do it. I'm shocked how much wear and damage for instance Arabella already took and I simply don't want it to happen to Tally Ho. On the other hand: Of course I want Leo to be happy. And without sailing Tally Ho, he will not be happy. At least I guess so. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

I agree the craftsmanship is top notch and amazing.

The modifications have created a few problems, notably the tight tolerances at the heel of the bowsprit created by adding a second Sampson Post. Since the original capstan is going to be reinstalled the run of anchor cable and lines might make an interesting five minutes.

I donated to Patrick Kingshill because I like the comedy the best. I found his pottery site and then donated through his email on Paypal.

@@VitalityMassage I didn't know that that cheerful guy Patrick made such beautiful clay art. I didn't expect that, it just leaves me a bit speechless. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

@@werrrnerrr I also didn't know. I wanted to buy a coffee cup but didn't see any for sale.

Can anyone please tell me how far is the Old Log Inn?

I think this series of videos is of significant historical importance. I think copies of the entire series, when completed, should be put on quality hard drives and lodged with sailing museums around the world. You can basically build a traditional sailing bot by watching these videos...!!! It only takes Elon Musk to buy RU-vid and destroy it to upset the woke libs and its lost... The half life of digital information on the internet is 4 years.

Not only me then...

I did the same, although the champagne (house warming) may have contributed...

Something to keep in mind

Lots of good boatbuilding timber hiding in abandoned sheep sheds.

Rubbed off on all the floor grates (and in the air)… Don’t forget the lanolin. Further protection there.

They're all full.of holes though, you have the holes to mount the line shaft the holes to mount the beam to the poles holding it up abd the holes from where at least 2 types of electric shearing heads I recently donated out lineshaft gear to a mechanical restoration group, but the bean is still in use, has holes in every 4in by 4in square

sounds like you found a gold mine

This Tally Ho is brand new and not as old as the bowsprit.

@@robertharris7027naaa just catching up with 100years of maintenance in a very short time

The first true helicopter flew in 1901, 14 years or so before the original Tally Ho was launched.

@@robertharris7027 The boat is still the Tally Ho she is not a new ship. When you do a rebuild its still the same ship. (see ship of Theseus)

It's looking like 1910 again!

Oh yes! It's going to be amazing to see her out at sea, can't wait for those shots.

It is HER Fault! It would have fit perfectly if she had used 8 coats of varnish instead of 9. 😂

Completely agree!!

In 1986, I fitted Douglas Fir windows in my house. They still look as good as new. The similar age plastic windows absolutely do not.

Amazing varnish work. I’d like to know how many gallons have been put on Tally ho

Heroine? Easy now.

An aspect of this project that we tend to overlook. As well as all Leo's other talents, he has led this entire project superbly - and there were times, especially in the early days, when it must have been incredibly stressful.

That is my favorite part. Never is there drama (unless you count the Duchess of Desire lol) Just a nice quiet confidence and a hardy laugh when something goes wrong.

Watching how the team builds around Leo, gains confidence, some of the members learning new skills and all of them growing to become a real tightly knit little boatbuilding team, is the best thing about this Tally Ho project, besides the obvious 'Have wood - want boat' thing, where we can enjoy how beautifully pieces of wood come together to become this wonderful craft. It's such a joy.

Yes, nobody told Bob they'd be putting 9 coats of varnish on that spar.

If you're interested in some wood-related science, I recently was studying the subject. Ring size is a useful medium for historians, generally enlarging with temperature. Warmer years mean faster growth. The age of sail is entirely within a period called the "Little Ice Age." Temperatures were around 4℃ lower than today. If global temperatures to continue rising, and we continue current deforestation rates, we can expect such nice, tight-grained woods to become quite scarce and valued indeed.

A coffee table book being the apogee of human endeavour ...

Well said.

@@barkebaatNo-one writes epic poetry anymore, Bob

I’d buy that book, as long as it was published by Taschen and featured some ‘artistic’ snaps of the dutchess of desire as well…

I'd buy that book

Good idea. It's been long enough that the old episodes would seem new again.

I’ve done that now a few times. I discover new things every time I watch it another time. The series is legendary!

Saltheart Foamfollower?

Exactly.

@Samps-onBoat_Co Bloody brilliant actually. What you have achieved is truly unexpected and extraordinary in all repects, I imagine you feel this too. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this, your channel has become an important and intrinsic part of my life. I look forward to every episode knowing that it's going to be fun, inventive, interesting and informative. You ARE a sailor and a boat builder but I think your future may lie in video/ film presentation. Up to you of course, but I think, unlikely as it sounds, your best may be yet to come and I for one, look forward to it. Your inate quality of leadership will take care of that my friend, if I may presume the term. Love from an old man in Portugal, also a boat owner, occasional sailor, bike rider, former hang glider designer/manufacturer and studied reprobate.

This is an extra anyway

This is an extra/bonus video anyway
