Tally Ho's rig - blocks and sheaves!

I would like to give a big thanks to Leo and his crew for their help. On May 15th of this month i was able to go see Tally Ho in person. I had emailed Leo and told him i was in hospice homecare. Leo told me to stop by if i could. My son took me and i couldn't believe the workmanship done on this boat. I won't be here for the finish, but people try to see this boat if you can after it's in the water. Leo and everyone from start to finish should be proud of themselves for this accomplishment.

Tally Ho is not just a boat, not just a restoration, not just a project on the internet, she's a love letter to wood working.

Note to potential sponsors: these are the ONLY pitches I have ever watched and I would happily watch more. Great job Tally Ho crew!!

This is the ONLY UAclips channel where I don't fast forward through the advertisements! Not only is the crew doing amazing work, but they're pretty hilarious, too.

It's great seeing our silicon bronze wood screws going in to that beautiful deck house! Nice job as always fellas!

The block guy does great work, respect.

Those teak hatches are absolute works of art. You truly have assembled the best of the best to help you. Quality knows quality so it makes sense these craftsmen and women are drawn to you and this project.

Well done TDS!!! Industry leader and supporter of the project!!

Those blocks are beautiful! I would love to see a more detailed description of the rope work going on there!

The slow artistic shots over the harbour, the boats and old ships together with that beautiful music.. You really show of the atmosphere of craftsman, love for boats and a community of passionate people. It’s so much I love about these videos
Thank you

Once again I laughed way too hard at the sponsorship segment. Literally the only channel that makes me not only not skip them, but actively look forward to those bits of the video. 😆👍

It is an absolute joy to watch Tally Ho coming together,brought about by such a skilled and caring team.Thank you,Roly🇬🇧.

I want to see the crew do a hair product sponsor commercial! Someone make that happen!

Another great episode. What a great team of cool, skilled people you've accumulated. It would be great if you could ever find the time to give us an update on the awesome couple that used to be your (and Tally Ho's) landlords back in the day. It'd, obviously, also be cool to see their parrot again. Stay safe out there.

I can’t imagine there’s a manufacturer of supplies for traditional boat building out there that doesn’t know about the Tally Ho at this point. Most businesses in niche markets such as this have an interest in the craft and beauty that their products facilitate and I’d imagine many tune in weekly. Thanks to TDS for supplying the caulking and getting this beautiful vessel one step closer to wet feet. I’m sure Leo’s story has inspired hundreds to one day build their own dream and they’ll remember it when the time comes to cork their own decks. Bravo!

I hope you keep this channels alive after Tally Ho is finished and get to share in your adventures.

Its awesome that Bob is as passionate about his work as the rest of the people who have been working on this project 😊😊😊

Erica is so cool! Love her energy and presence, not to mention her mad skills.

Yes! Finally a new episode... of Dutchess of Desire

Everything going into this boat is just surpassingly beautiful. I know nothing about boats, but I'm here for the passion each craftsperson has for their work, the attention to detail, and the beauty in every single thing being made.
The "commercials" are highly entertaining, too. 😂😂😂

Astounding old-world craftsmanship. For all ye ol’ farts (like me) who complain about the lack of skill and dedication of the younger generations, sit down and watch this series from the beginning. I did. Thank you for restoring my faith in the future of woodworking and so much else. This series is and has been a great inspiration.

The craftsmanship is a joy to watch.... it's amazing that it even exists in this day and age...... massively massive artful work ...true artisan's

I got to admit, I follow a few other projects, and they're sponsored as well, but I usually jump ahead. When I'm watching a sponsor spot for Tally Ho, I always watch because I love their little skits.

Hatches: gorgeous. Head cabinetry: gorgeous. Blocks: gorgeous. We’re getting into a trend here, where the beautifully-shaped hull is turning into a gorgeous vessel.

I absolutely love the fact that so many masters of their craft have found such a passion for this project. Never seen anything like it!

My favorite channel. I watch a lot of UAclips channels. 77 years old and got a lot of time on my hands. But I am a very qualitative guy and can only watch channels that have that. Yours is the best. I look forward to your episodes more than any other. In a couple of years the boat will be ready. Don't know what will happen after that but I am sure it will be great.

I made the pilgrimage! 13,398km from Adelaide SA to Port Townsend WA. It was worth every cent and all the effort. The place, the people, the Port-all are real and exceed expectations. Leo and his amazing team are not building a wooden boat, they are enriching our lives! Heartfelt thanks.

This is such a great channel. First up, Bob and the blocks. They are gorgeous. I didn't know how they were made, and the strops around them are amazing. Secondly, shout out to TDS for their awesome gift for TallyHo! Great job, guys.
Finally, your 'commercials' are great. What a bunch of fun-loving crew members! Makes my laugh, thank you.
Looking forward to splash day.

🙏👏🛥 Hats off to Leo and his crew for their incredible support and hospitality! 🌟 On my recent visit to see Tally Ho, I was deeply moved by the craftsmanship and dedication put into this magnificent boat. Despite my health circumstances, Leo warmly welcomed me and my son. The attention to detail in the rig, with its blocks and sheaves, is truly impressive. Though I may not witness the final result, I urge everyone to experience the beauty of Tally Ho once it hits the water. Leo and the entire team should take great pride in their remarkable achievement.

Bittersweet to see Tally Ho nearing completion. Thank you Leo for bring us all along on your epic adventure!

The creativity and skills of those involved with Tally Ho's build never fails to amaze me. What an incredible crew!

One fascinating aspect of this project is the interplay between traditional design and building techniques vs modern materials and methods. You have traditional wooden blocks with Delrin sheaves. You have traditional cotton caulking sealed in with modern TDS sealant. You have a very traditional sailing yacht with a modern engine and cutting edge electrical systems.

This SV has developed into a true work of art. I am more impressed with every update. Can't say enough about the craftsmanship. Great to see the young craftsman involved.

Man… as much as I’m excited to see you guys launch Tally Ho, I’m going to go into withdrawal; missing your amazing crew doing such a high standard of woodworking. It’s going to be a floating work of art! 🇨🇦

Team,
Amazing work everywhere! My father would be proud of you. He built and rebuild boats along his pathway in life. I still have some of his tools. 4 cheeres🎉🎉🎉🎉 for team Tally Ho. A massive thanks for your wonderful videos, LEO.😊

Such amazing craftsmanship and quality. Great antics and shenanigans to keep the day fresh! Everything just comes alive with the varnish! Beautiful work on the head! Outstanding editing and score! Feel the passion for the blocks! Thank you all for the amazing journey we continue to join you on! Much love! Always! Oh Duchess!

Quality of joiner work is way beyond first class. And like all craftsmen at their level, they love it, they live and breath it !
Absolute pleasure to watch, thank you Leo .

Leo, just wanted to say thank you for leeting us accompany you at this journey. It is so much fun!

Still making the best commercials I've seen. Duchess of Desire is becoming my all time favorite series.

As an aside, the worlds first production line recorded was designed by Isambard Brunels father Marc, this marine block manufacturing facility was producing over 100,000 blocks per year starting in 1802 for Royal Navy ships, the workshops are still evident in the Portsmouth Naval Dockyard and last I heard were in the process of being restored.

Tally Ho really is going to be a world-class boat of the finest quality when she is finished, from stem to stern she's also a thing of great beauty, a testament to you and all who have worked on her, I have never seen a vessel with so much care and attention to detail in her build, so fine, you must be so proud of her.

Handmade customized blocks!! This being Tally Ho (the fabergé egg version of a yacht) I should not have been so surprised, but still ... wow. Super interesting to see how they're actually made. Thanks for showing the process!

Love this channel. After crewing on the Blue Mermaid this last weekend in the Kings Coronation Medway barge match and because of the blood, sweat and tears it's the laughter that makes you keep going. Wonderful Leo and crew

Next level project, next level craftsmanship, and next level sponsorship ads. Tally Ho is one of the best project on UAclips!

LOVE the commercials. Still laughing. I'm looking forward to the completion of Tally Ho. Your adventures sailing her will be just as entertaining, I'm sure.

I am constantly amazed by the myriad of such extremely skilled craftsmen you've been able to assemble to work on Tally Ho. It is truly mind boggling.

Every video episode provides the viewer with interesting insights into Tally Ho's build process. To watch a younger generation applying olde world skills so amazingly skilfully is a joy to behold. Cannot wait to finally see the finished ship take to water. Well done Tally Ho Team!!

Another great episode. The pride and passion of the shipwrights is wonderful to see as demonstrated by the rigger

The craftsmanship on this boat is outstanding. Quality the likes of which Robert M. Persig would definitely embrace and approve of.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance…

12.517 views in 49 Minutes after release, that is record breaking. I have never seen this on any channel!! Grants Leo! You and your team are the best of them all.

I've been watching since the beginning and it's amazing to see the finish getting closer. From the beginning all the volunteers up to the craftsman now all of them are the nicest people iv'e seen online. Like the fellow below (Guy bever) I've become paraplegic since 2018 and any dreams of sailing are lived vicariously through the build shows. I will probably make it to see the launch (online) and hope to see TallyHo at sea. God bless all the craftsman from the beginning to now.

I’m happy that you’re making your own blocks. I’m quite certain that when Tally Ho was first built, nobody went down to the local hardware store and bought them.

We spent years looking at what essentially was a pile of wood (albeit a pretty one), but now it's all moving so fast. The deck is nearly done, the interior is coming together, the rigging is getting a start. Amazing. Feels like any day now she'll be ready to take her first swim in a very long while.

Leo the craftmanship going into tally ho is terrific the hatches the blocks and even the heads you have a crew you can be proud of 😊😊😊

Is Erica the coolest person ever to work on tally? I really do enjoy her and I appreciate her work ethic, her sunny disposition, and her overall cheery self. Thanks Erica!

The production and editing quality of these videos is not far behind the superb craftsmanship, it's a fortnightly treat for me along with a pint of Ruby and sour cream pringles which accompany the viewing. A great combination of British and American as well!

I cannot believe I have been watching this for years.
The Stamina required to see a project of this scale through is incredible.
Wish there was content all the time.
A live cam perhaps......

I’d be certain in 1910 Albert Strange built a beautifully functioning vessel, but I'm sure he’d be impressed with the quality that you and your crew have rebuilt Tally Ho to.

Oh man I can’t wait for the next episode of the Duchess of Desire! You can’t leave us with such a cliffhanger.

Leo, your team of enthusiastic boat builders are fantastic - it is a great division of fun and skill. 👍👍👍

Outstanding job on your sponsor videos, they are the only ones I ever watch. From day one I believe you guys and gall’s have done an excellent job of keeping us glued to the commercial. Thank you.

Compliments on Bob's interview camera work. I really liked the focus and lighting arrangements; very effective! Bob's explanation was alos very well presented and interesting. Thank you.

Hi Guys another epic episode, especially the advert for Surfshark, well done to all the actors on the set.

These Blocks are a Piece of Art ! And the Guy who did all the Work .. Respekt !

The craftsmanship going into this vessel is simply amazing.

Leo deserves credit for allowing his crew to share the videoing duty with him. We've watched Patrick's efforts for a quite a while--Nick being his foil most of the time--but this time Zeal got to step up and he acquitted himself well, too. What a crew!

I can't wait for the next episode of Dutchess Of Desire. The last one ended on such a cliffhanger!

Those blocks look really beautiful and the craftsmanship that goes into them is impressive as well - good thing the artisan only charges 1,99$ per hour ;-) - no, seriously: craftsmanship has its price and I am the last person to deny that.

Those hatches are works of art. The entire vessel is a thing of beauty. However, knowing the state this poor boat was in when Leo got it really makes this transformation nothing short of a miracle. What an incredible and seemingly impossible undertaking this effort has been. It is an amazing story and tribute to his vision, talents and dedication. After years of watching I am already starting to anticipate the day when the sails fill, the ocean slips by the rudder and Captain Leo is free.

I hope your sponsors pay you double what they pay other channels. You guys put so much effort in to the fun custom skits and I never fast forward through them like I do others :)

So much happening in this episode. Beautiful work by everyone.

I would like to give a big thanks to Leo and his crew for their commercials.

I look forward to the sketches.
Oh, and the workmanship is incredible, as always.
Cheers

I'm always so impressed that all these builders are so young yet so skilled in old world boat building/wood working... This whole series is fantastic!! Right on you guys. ✌️

When I was young I imagined working on or sailing on a ship like Tally Ho. I huge dream on mine for many years. However, about mid life I started having major issues with my joints. I hope it never happens to any of you. So when I came upon Leo's buying and rebuilding of Tally Ho it gave me something to hang on to when going through another surgery and rehabilitation. I too am a woodworker not to the extent that Leo and his crew are but none the less the woodworking I watch with awe and anticipation. So again I would like to thank the crew for their contribution to each of the episodes especially the BBSea commercials very funny. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to each week. It has made dealing with this issue more bearable. I can not wait to see Tally Ho being launched and sailing once again.

It's so pleasing to watch Leo and his team's fine craftsmanship presented so well!

I'll tell you sonething. This is the only channel that I watch the sponsor. All the others I just speed through them. Yous people are awsome. Thanks for the laughs.

I came for blocks and sheaves, and found so much more.
Drill braces and all! I’m loving this. 😁👍

Extremely professional craftmanship from the bottom of the keel to topsail - looking forward to seeing her afloat and with all sails set

I would like to see a more in-depth video on the block making.

As an old woodworker, I'm envious of the guys who get to work with the wonderful woods and add their craftsmanship to the Tally Ho. I'm in awe of the quality of the materials and workmanship that have gone into this project. I can only imagine the $$ spent on the Tally Ho so far and can't imagine how Leo has raised all the funds.

Tip of the hat to TDS. Beyond the marketing, that's a class move. 👏

As part of the silent majority, I can no longer keep quiet and just enjoy your videos. So now having given voice I suffer from a lack of adjectives to express myself. You guys, all of you, are absolutely amazing!

What a team!!!
Never got tired of anything that you do, film or say!!!
Thanks for teaching how to work in harmony!!!
BBC should be proud of you!!
And should sponsored your amazing project!!!!
Thank you all!!!❤❤❤❤

Honestly, you guys are going to get hired for commercials and your boat building is gonna became a secondary thing. Good Job.

I Have followed this project from the beginning and have to say I have never seen such a bunch of such dedicated and extremely talented guys. The wood working skills are incredible and I just can never wait for the next episode. Cannot wait to see the launch .

Had to re-watch some of this. Zeal at work is an absolute treat. He's effortless, no matter what he's doing. An artist and a craftsman at work.

Great video as always.
Id love to see more detail on the tying and knotting/stitching of the rigging.
Really fascinating process, Bob seems super cool and seems to have a wealth of knowledge to share.
Really, really looking forward to seeing more of the cordage work!

Kudos to Erica. so much dedication to the crappy work. Seriously, can't wait to see her other projects. All good stuff.

Bob seems like a really cool dude and craftsman.

Every time, the carpentry here just amazes me! So beautiful!

Came for the boat building content, stayed for the brilliant advertising.

The public demand to see the finished boat in person is gonna be high

This was a very interesting episode. Thank you for sharing your amazing boat restoration/craftsmanship process. God bless you all!

You have a great team, having a laugh while you work is a sign of great leadership

This is just such a master class on rebuilding old boats. Thanks for the effort. Can’t wait to watch you sail the 7 seas.

As usual it is awesome to watch passionate and skilled people at work.

There is so much going on lately. I think we need weekly videos, Leo 😉 Seriously, I would have enjoyed an even more datailed look in the actual making of the blocks and ropes. But all of you are doing beautiful work and I'm looking forward to many more videos to come!

It is a joy to follow this project! Not only is the craftsmanship outstanding, but the sense of humour is just brilliant! Go team!

When the boat is done I don't know whether I'll miss the videos or the Tally Ho Players more.
