EPISODE 115
After a snow-white turn of the year, Richard braves the cold to cut the engine beds out of some huge pieces of Purpleheart. These beams will support the engine and connect it to the hull, so they need to be extremely strong and well fastened.
In an unlikely looking white van, we find a large wooden crate - the engine itself! Having broken it out and stared at it for some time, I discuss how this Parallel-Hybrid Diesel-Electric engine functions, and why I chose it.

Richard is truly a sea dog! I've had the pleasure of his instruction at the Northwest school of wooden boatbuilding back in 2001. Not only did I learn a lot about wooden boats from Richard, I picked up an odd saying from him. He would say from time to time in his teachings "this piece wants to be so long" (or something like that), rather than "this piece needs to be so long". To this day, I sometimes say things like "the wall wants to be red" when choosing a color or "it wants to be 3', 6 1/2" when building something. He also left me with the impression that he was no stranger to blue water. Tally Ho wants to have Richard help her float again.

I am sure that, like me, thousand's, find these videos more than entertainment. They are a real time personal insight into one man's dreams. In itself inspirational. How he has secured and organised the wildly disparate resources needed is testimony to the depth of a young man's ambitions. Also the insight into long gone, and barely surviving skills and craftsmanship which designed and built the ships which supported the development of our modern world, takes my breath away. Leo is an inspiration and something in his demeanour exudes the stock of his seafaring forebears.

I love this engine system for this boat. It is super reliable, redundant, does bring all the electrical creature comforts you want on board and still is close to what would have been used traditionally and does not need any solar panels on deck to do any of it. It's having the cake and eating it too and then some.

Dave and Richard remind me of my Grandfather. His hand tools were shaped to his hands like theirs. All I know is he served as a UK Merchant Seaman WWI. It’s clear that he apprenticed as a shipwright and worked on Coastal Traders, possibly Tall Ships. He was the reason I decided to use my savings to buy a model of the Cutty Shark Clipper. This was in 1967. I was 6 and had I saved over 1000 pennies(5/6th of a cent) Currency change came to $10. Thanks for triggering memories. I know he sailed between California and NZ on the SS Something or other. It’s just locked somewhere in my memory. Thanks to all the Cutty Sark comments. Didn’t notice spell check I’ll leave it.

Leo - I have a Beta 30 in my LM. Great engine but it does suffer from one weak point in my opinion. The feed to the heat exchange where it joins and turns at 90 degrees furs up very easily. Every season I need to take it off and use a solvent on it. If left unattended , it blocks completely. Thought you should know! Love the series and keep doing what you do! Happy New Year. Reply: Not sure if the larger engine would have same problem my feed tube is low side of 13mm. I suspect a gentler turn would help flow. The furring does not seem to get anywhere else. The heat exchange is pretty clear. Good news is it’s a once a season simple job. Just add it to the list! Spare O rings for heat exchange and all good. The engine anode also goes in here so that might cause the cement for the furring! Good luck.

I am also a son of Anglia but have worked abroad most of my adult life. I have lost count of the number of times the lag or coach has been argued over even in the UK. The terms lag and coach are both derived from and used in the UK. The biggest mistake made is a coach screw is not a lag bolt but a lag screw a coach bolt is a lag bolt both needing nuts to hold components together rather than threads in the case of screws.

@bradleydoolittle9784 2 года назад

Hi Leo! Looks like the belt for the hybrid system will be trapped by the prop shaft once it’s all bolted up. In the interest of future maintenance can I suggest you install a second, backup belt on the prop shaft before bolting the engine in place. Find a way to secure it out of the way and where it won’t touch any moving parts. That way in case the belt should fail or require replacement, you’ve at least got ONE shot at it without having to pull the entire engine and/or prop shaft (which may require removal of the rudder). Just a thought. Cheers mate!

@rcpmac 2 года назад

Interesting and clever idea. However if one disconnects the prop shaft from the engine there should be plenty of room to slide it outboard to allow for a belt change. 3/4” is probably sufficient.

@@alexandermenzies9954 by day and age I mean the battery/charging technologies. on one hand it would be nice to go full electric, but the energy requirements for a boat this big are too much. on the other hand, going full diesel is stinky, loud and not environment-friendly. a hybrid system gives you the best of both worlds - you can give it full snot with the diesel when there's zero wind and you need to get somewhere, but other than that you can have electricity on the boat for free and happily putter around the marinas without burning any dinosaur juice.

@alexandermenzies9954 2 года назад

@@_f355 OK, Konstantin. However your characterisation of modern diesel engines as "stinky, loud and not environment-friendly" is waaaay yesterday. The days of billowing black smoke and bellowing exhausts have gone in all but the old donks. It's interesting to read some commenters suggesting that sailing with the prop turning the generator is later free energy but of course there's a "price" to pay; energy conversion is somewhat inefficient (less than 100%) so that sailing is slightly slower than if the prop was 'furled', plus the later use of that energy now stored in the batteries is again converted with an accompanying loss (again, less than 100%). Perpetual motion still awaits us :). Not that I'm counting.. That said, Leo's points were well made including not having to start the ic engine for brief manoeuvring in port etc. It's a fantastic purchase.

It is nice to see the engine now after you did all the research and vlog on what you was getting cannot wait to see it installed it will look great the red against the the interior of the stern Nice to see some snow ( might not be for you all working in it ) you all take care 😀👍

Well done for going down the Hybrid route. We went electric on our Trimaran and will be going hybrid with our twin screw 72' by converting the existing engines. Its definitely the way to go given the current technology limits giving long range as well as flexibility.

Pretty neat to have wind, diesel, AND electricity to power a vessel! Always looking forward to a new Tally Ho video!

Man, I really love that engine from the moment Leo mentioned it. It has so good redundancies and really makes it safe incase something happens to it. The only thing I would bring extra would be another belt and a spare propeller ;)

Brilliant choice of engine. The diesel/electric/battery system you describe follows the old 1930's T-class submarines propulsion system, one of which was of course "HMS/m Tally Ho"!
