This episode, I investigate the part of Tally Ho’s history where she was almost wrecked on a remote Pacific Atoll, in 1968. Amazingly, I have been given photographs of Tally Ho high and dry on the reef, taken from the boat that towed her to safety! Because of the accident, part of the hull was rebuilt, but unfortunately not to the original lines. I assess the change in shape, do a little bit of lofting, and remove a lot of hull planks to give me space to rebuild the boat back into her original shape. Unfortunately, I also discover that the other side of the boat isn’t perfect either.

23. The Wreck and the Rescue - Rebuilding Tally Ho EP23
Pubblicato il 2 anni fa
3:57 what a fascinating few minutes. I have a feeling I would fuck that up royally.
Just a thought, I'd buy a half model of her. Build them from off cut's. I'm sure others would to.
I started watching you rebuild her a little over a year now. Then l discovered these. What a treat! One thing l noticed is l think you grew into a man doing it. We need more men of your stature in this world. I'm at the end of my run it gives me comfort knowing not all young men are lost in a make believe world and know how to build without a keyboard.
Not my cup of tea, but amazing project and a lot to learn from, keep it up 👍🏼
The extent of your knowledge is impressive. Watching you do the measurements and comparing to the original design was mind blowing! Great video.
Knows his onions..
i really admire people like you thanks i am learning tremendously i now have an idea of those sailboats big or small passing Chesapeake bay, va thanks a lot.
U know I have learned much watching Leo. Using patterns and systematically setting job priorities
What’s the song around 1:40?
I can see why the wise men chose you to rebuild this boat. Well done.
Maybe too late to suggest that your golden breast guacamaya needs a partner. They pair up for life. The sideways dance is a sign of boredom. Also, if they are able to fly they will come back dayly. They are not dumb and know where the food and shelter is. Give it pistachio seeds and tropical fruits like mango.
This is my second time watching all of the episodes. Your work is impeccable. As a teenager, my dad and I did repairs and wood work on our 34’ wood hulled Pacemaker, which is a motor boat. Those were some of the happiest days of my life. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I think Pancho is a riot. Such personality, and she REALLY likes you.
I want to know what the blue boat in the background is. Pretty shape.
Trying to figure out why he is sweating these few incorrect frames when he is going to replace every frame. Or had he not bitten that bullet when this vid was shot?
One of the best shipwrights I’ve ever seen but I’ve not seen many but wow they have a serious competitor
that old man in the photo is the same fella from an other episode
the bird is so cool :D
A "husk" is "the hard fibrous sheath of nuts. While "copra" is the "dried meat or kernel of the coconut." The copra is the edible part of the coconut after it has been dried. Copra is used exclusively to produce coconut oil, and is not consumed by humans. The fresh meat or kernel of the mature coconut forms a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics.
Now that was a good episode hanging with the design vs as built
I'm a natural house builder (timber, hemp, lime & clay), and it can often take quite a lot of considering for me to find the words and analogies to explain the design, materials & construction methods to my clients. The danger in this is I can end up fooling myself that I know quite a bit. Watching your description of your work to measure & calculate the shape of the hull, I'm 100% cured of that misconception! House-building - even really well-detailed, thermally & acoustically excellent homes - is like Lego construction compared to the complex sophistication of boat building. Immense respect & awe.
This is the episode I've been waiting for ensuring level
Regarding your wonderful parrot. Do you know the film (from the book) "Swallows and Amazons forever? You should give it a once over, if not. It's also a godsend if you ever have chidren. :-)
Are most parrots like yours? I would love one but all the people I know with birds say theirs just squak non stop and they can’t let them out of cages because they would fly away. I don’t want a bird that just lives in a cage you know
You may (or may not!) be interested to know that the forklift is based on an animal...namely the elephant!
Pretty sure your dog is landbound but do you think Poncho the Parrot will sail back to England with you?
Thank you for the free content
Pics of the wreck, nice!
Amazing patience!
I wish there were more people who were not just Interested, but /Openly and Vocally Interested/ in history that isn't focused on war. Hearing about the life Tally Ho has lived and seeing photos of events is so incredible. It's Infinitely more interesting to me that hearing the n-thousandth dude-bro trying to tell me about their favorite battle in WWII. I /don't care/ about people murdering people at the behest of rich people in power. I want to know more about the common people. Tell me about non-military sailors. Tell me about the farmers and their rural communities. Tell me about the lower and middle-class day-to-day. Tell me about the businesses in small towns and big cities and about how people made their essentials and their luxuries before we had the machines to make it easy(ier). Thank you for giving us so much of the journey to rebuild Tally Ho, and especially thank you for covering her history.
Wow! This is insanly brilliant! 😀🤗
Man, who needs Game of Thrones Season 8 when I have this guy doing even more epic things.
You have tremendous skills. I wish I understood more about the keel?
Fast forward... Save girlfriend,humming bird...etc.
Leo is going to end up becoming a pirate with Poncho.
Dude, great catch and camera work with that hummingbird.
Poncho is just watching and waiting for the day when Tally Ho sails. "This is my ticket outta here!" - Poncho
That parrot cracks me up.... I think you are just building a pirate ship for the bird.
Backwards, I know, but found your channel from Finn of KnotFINNishedyet. So awesome you were able to find out more I’d Tally Ho’s history because of your videos.
Go to the original planned lofting
Carpentry, boat building, sailing, video production, drafting ... Good Lord, man, is there anything you for which you aren't skilled?
binge watching your work.... how far are you from friday harbor ? cheers
I also believe you should follow your artistic heart side and do it right this time! I don't think you'll ever be sorry!
I think your parrot is your safety and quality control inspector!
On voit un voilier de loin,sans savoir de quoi il s·agit ? Ben voilà,de près,on découvre un autre monde :celui de la maîtrise de l·être humain ...c·est géant !!---A+
This is starting to look to me like you should have just used the plans and built a whole new boat. It would be worth more I think. You have amazing dedication and skills.
Leo..I am in awe of your commitment and enthusiasm for this project. I have built houses, renovated homes and even scratch build a Zenith 701 aircraft from plans ( 2000 hours ) but this project is mammoth. I am so happy that there are folks like you who have the guts to tackle such a huge , amazing task. All the best.
The bird contributes greatly to the entertainment! :)
Curve job
8:00 to 8:20 nice guitar playing.
You are amazing!
The music sounds like the theme to this old house,or should I say this old boat 🚣♀️.
I love the various types of music you put into the background. Nicely done. Also impressed how you appear to stick to your purpose and mostly by yourself. A lot of ingenuity.
You Sir, are a madman! I love it. This is the best thing I've seen On IThomes.
Man oh man, I can't stop watching these videos.. I post my own on sculpting.. and tonight I was editing and watching yours... Hard to do.. If I could afford to patron you I would but I'm 73, and bronze costs so much... lol I live basically off my social security and occasional sales.. I've passed on your videos to friends who love what you do. maybe some patrons there.. Keep up the build...
Half expected the hummingbird to become friends with the parrot and take up residence
Great music!
I've just come across this channel it really is fascinating. Just one question though how much of the original yacht is actually going to be left?
Another dilemma to consider. I don't think you would be wrong to try and bring it as close to original as you can. You will also be better able to deal with the frame to keel connection as well.
The parrot on the forklift! Hilarious!
Love the chain jig. “Life on the mould” used one as well. Brilliant idea.
Your work on this project helps me put my own repairs and restorations in proper perspective: literally no problem I tackle on my two sport-fishing boats or Lance camper rises to a fraction of the degree of difficulty of nearly any task you face. Thanks for that, Leo, and Cheers!
Just an observation, not meant to be an insult, it seems that you are just using the Tally Ho as a pattern to build a new ship as hardly any wooden part of Tally Ho is being kept in tact...
Leo, I think you made me realize what I really want to do with the latter years of my life. I’ve always enjoyed sailing, and I’ve always been the grandson of a carpenter with modest skills. Together that’s awesome! Never thoought about it till watching you and the blog. Only problem, a failure to visualize a project like what you do and get it done. Man oh Man, if I could roll back the years. Like the parrot, and the farmer.
I hope that you do it over according to the plan as A. Strange intended. That would redeem the vessel and earn a great deal of honor toward yourself and to the memory of the designer.
I have saved a hummingbird from inside of a garage, quite magical to hold them while they are trying to decide what to do before flying off.
I like very much the musical edition for the video back support on the activities..
Simply fantastic video again. So you saved her, rebuild her and now you will reshape her. Will you rename her to original name also?
My wife often tells me “you are the only person that would notice that!” Well Leo, I say to you “you are the only one that would notice that slab side” in that boat. Just a note of caution, should you ever notice “slab sides” in a woman, I would keep that to yourself..... just saying!🤐😜
That patch of purple heart dust from the keel rebuildis one of the things that shows up on google earth now.
Just build a new yacht , what's the percentage of old timbers vs new timbers ? your saying the original builders got the shape wrong , but it sailed from 1908 to 68 when man failed it . from what ive seen in this vid , build a new yacht .
This chain jig is a wonderful idea! I have never seen it before!
So much fucking nagging!
BTW...LOVE the bird!
portly (adj.) early 15c., "stately, dignified," from port (n.3) "bearing, carriage" + -ly (1). Meaning "stout" is first recorded 1590s. I wonder if more then just a term for "weighty" is meant by " Portly" your boat is fat on the port side.....or Portly!?.....sorry, just how my brain works! G>
Poncho seems to be enjoying his involvement with the project. :)
Nice work Leo. Just an idea... (@1:35) you may be able to place the first set of stickers just a bit closer towards center of the filches and then a little down pressure (on the spaced out end of the stack) might fan the second end for placing all the remaining stickers at once.
Interesting to see that the recovery skipper of the Heather George who towed Tally Ho off the reef was Alan McLeod who was a pig farmer from Dunedin New Zealand. Alan with some of his family had traveled to Scotland for a McLeod Clan reunion, he purchased the Heather George in Scotland and sailed it back to NZ.Whether it was during his trip back to NZ when he undertook the task of rescuing Tally Ho or on a later trip. I recall Alan had difficulties with NZ Customs and the Maritime Authority upon his return to Dunedin. Don't remember how the issues were resolved.
What is that evil high pitched beeping in these videos? Its doing my head in.
Now you're a Disney princess. Also a bit of a pirate with the parrot. So maybe a Disney pirate princess.
Am I the only one wondering what kind of music is he listening too. Great video really enjoying your series and can't wait to see how it progress
I have binge watched you videos. What you are doing mostly solo, speaks a lot about those who taught you and how much you have learned. Fantastic job. P.S. great music.
Everybody who restores old wooden boats/ships should have a safety parrot to control the work. ;-)
And, great music on each episode!
Is it possible that the sand that fell while you removed the exterior planks could be from it's time stranded on the reef in the 60's?
This is, BY FAR, the most interesting process I've ever watched on IThomes or any other medium. Your skill in boat building and repair is astonishing. Cheers!!!!
You know you want to loft it out completely... I know you do haha..
Transporting copra in the 1960s?! That's a lie or an eccentric hobby.
Why give this amazing guy 👎 crazy stupid man !
Some thumbs are not sited in for accuracy.
I'm a little horrified that with every new video more and more "historic" wood is cut away. I've begun wondering what in the world will be left original when you finally start rebuilding. Maybe you have been wondering that too. There must be something wrong with your brain that you never get overwhelmed or defeated. Undertakings like this are not normal -not when you are doing it alone.
Holy shit. This is right up there with the guy who tight-rope walked the World Trade Center towers.
That seems an incredible amount of timber! Can’t believe it will all go into that boat.
Leo deserves "at least" 1M subs !! Well Done & looking forward to upcoming episodes and inevitable launch day.
Tally ho was wreck 50 years ago from this month
In episode 23 you mention the lack of tumble-home at the top of the aft starboard side. Agreed, Leo, the elegance of the design line feel is lost when the rise from waterline is vertical and straight. The music of elegance always serves a purpose. You feel it because you have music in you; as noted by the music you chose for the videos and the way you run. I wondered why you did not mention that tumblehome shape also well serves to prevent water from entering the deck area whenever a sudden extreme heeling over might occur (if I understand it correctly); e.g., sailing in rough storm that would send other ships running to port during a race, or when a rogue wave might strike in deep blue water. I recognize that same shape from when I built Kinsac fiberglass canoes in Nova Scotia. The designer was the hydraulic engineer and naval designer who designed the sub chaser, Brad Dor, for the Canadian Navy. [www.google.com/search?q=HMCS+Bras+d%27Or+(FHE+400] The native MicMac Indians liked the shape of the Kinsac canoe because it replicated the shape they used when building with ash and white birch bark. It allowed them to heel over their canoes while sitting close to the middle when paddling alone and allowed them to do so without fear of swamping the canoe. At the same time this shape also provided very easy turning ability for them (because of the buoyancy from the “bubble/bowl-shape” they were sitting on while also able to keep the ¾ inch canoe keel out of the water) to thereby navigate narrow streams or swampy areas. If I correctly understand it fairly, this Tumble Home shape keeps water out of sailing craft at speed when on an extreme heel, when any other design, with straight sides rising from waterline, will have had the top of those sides going below water long before, swamping the craft or worse. Boats without this elegant shape do not survive for good reason, nor do they win races or survive horrid weather while awaiting the competition to see who gets to guide a large vessel into port.
17:17 Why couldn't shims be added onto the outside of each frame without removing them and remaking them? It seems like if epoxy was used that would keep it strong enough, and all those long through bolts certainly would maintain the structural strength. I know it's not a pretty but it seems like it would be much more speed efficient and cost efficient.
Great video!
Every video has an awesome compilation of music....aside from the excellent footage and narration!
Wait..... So other than youtube revenue youre not getting paid for this? Solely for yourself? That is just awesome. Hate to be that guy, but... Murica!!
What dipshit would give a thumbs down.Go Leo
Forklift is a God send.....
