Hilarious. Multiple use of the phrase ‘dry mounting’ throughout this episode may be an indicator of carnal frustration in the team, drilling holes in things is also a potential hint, not sure how increased carnal input can be had to stop further holes are made in things.

[@pierpalicious]

This is going to be the coolest sailboat of all time. Most youtube channels are focused on quantity of content, changing the subject matter from video to video, staying under 15 minutes, annoying clickbaity titles and people making dumb faces in the thumbnail, etc. People have short attention spans, I guess. But Leo, somehow you've cracked the code on going deep on the subject matter, doing your work to a very high quality standard (and giving the crew the necessary time to do so), putting out longish videos that are also to a very high standard, and keeping the audience engaged and entertained. So impressive. This is my favorite youtube channel by far- I've watched every video for many years now. I can't wait to see the project done, but I'll also be sad to no longer have these awesome videos every two weeks.

[@51pinn]

I can only agree. Rarely have I seen a crew deliver such excellent work with so much enthusiasm over such a long period of time and yes, I too hope that after the Tally Ho is launched we will continue to see the path this wonderful ship takes. I wish her always good winds and always enough water under the keel.

[@The333]

Well said - agree 100%. This is my fave channel too and I don't know squat about boats or sailing.

Leo's (potentially) burgeoning career as a top-notch illustrator is only furthered by this episode!

[@werner134897]

It's good to see everyone is having fun too! One of the main things I like from this channel is the high standard of quality that Leo sets for every part of the boat. And secondly, that he doesn't try to do everything by himself but instead is able to source experts and craftsman to realize it.

[@bvalt1]

Like any great sailor, he immerses himself into every detail of his vessel, he has knowledge of all of them, so that he can quickly assess issues, and track down their causes. He is involved in the design and layout process, and lets the experts deal with the higher technical details. He is an amazing young leader, and he has been so from the get go. Love watching their progress, and growth as humans and craftspeople. As a fellow lowly house carpenter, I am always infinitely impressed!!

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

Dear CalamityBrainBand 👍👏👌 Very well said, very well indeed. Exactly my thoughts too. Therefore I wanted to comment similar, but fortunately you already did all the writing work. 😁 ;-) Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@Bk19731973]

Yeah, no. Dude seems like a prick to me.

[@VenturiLife]

Good summation. Most sailors in time, become Jacks of all trades, because they have to be able to fix a boat, sometimes alone at sea, in less than ideal conditions without a warehouse of spare parts and tools on hand. Knowing your vessel, and the way it functions back-to-front, makes you a good and safe sailor that can perform repairs, and perform emergency actions when needed.

[@haydenw6585]

I think Albert Stranges mind would be blown if he knew all these technological systems would one day be in one of his boat designs 113years later. Impressive team

[@silasmarner7586]

The wiring, so far, is SUPER ELEGANT and well laid out. My compliments to whoever is installing all wiring. For sailboats, this is crucial so you can quickly follow things when you have trouble. Nicely done!

[@philevans1038]

Leo, don’t worry about getting too technical. I simply love it when it goes all techy!!

[@johna1160]

Augmenting Leo's already impressive list of skills is his ability to illustrate and lucidly explain the various systems onboard his vessel.

[@tau3457]

The design/engineering eps where Leo puts everything down in pencil sketches are easily my favs from the whole project.

[@acrabb]

Joe really seems to be the sort of person you call when you want everything done right. The knowledge and attention he puts into the systems is very reassuring.

[@clement7435]

Tally ho is becoming a boat that is combining the best of old and new technology. It really takes someone with Leos experience to put something like this together It is not just the quality of the build that makes this special, it is knowing what you need in a boat to make it a comfortable boat to cross an ocean. A lot of boats may be built with perfect craftsman ship but they may also hardly ever leave port. I don't believe Tally ho has a history of being one of those boats and Leo has never built her as a floating museum piece. But instead he is building a cruising boat as good as the best out there. This combined with Tally Ho history makes it something special.

[@stickhillfarm]

Yours is the only channel I watch the in-video adds, truly remarkable talent. Any advertiser is lucky to have a spot with your team

[@petert3355]

Yeah, could imagine the conversations between the companies and their advertisement consultants after they saw these? "We pay you millions and these boat builders give us a better result"

[@stephaniewilley727]

I like the redundancies built into the electric systems. At sea, what ever can go wrong will eventually go wrong and it's those multiple backup systems that will get you to a safe port. I especially like the dedicated engine cranking battery with the ability to employ the house battery. Many years ago I taught that type of setup and installed it in several sailboats myself.

[@Gottenhimfella]

There's an unlimited number of sailing channels which gloss over some or all of the detail, so it's a real bonus that one of the few which does routinely go there, goes there so lucidly and comprehensively (and comprehensibly). Kudos!

[@raphaelvowles]

Yes - I think the finer details are really interesting.

[@Chucki33]

I can’t even describe what being able to see this progress means to me. First video that was recommended to me a year ago was the 4 year montage (EP 100) which made me start from the beginning. Now this has become my favourite thing to watch, twice a month. I love every video you make, but theres a small percentage of my soul that drools over these more techical videos. Love the crew and the vibe, also you guys make sponsor segments that I have no need to skip, so quality in all forms. Keep up the good work and cheers from Finland.

[@robintheshop]

The way Leo breaks down the electrical system was great. Coming from an engineer who always has to explain technical topics to laymen/developers/architects.

[@philiprogers8620]

Albert Strange would NEVER believe what you have hidden under the stairs!!! 😂 clean install, well done

[@mikeskelly2356]

As a commercial Electrician, I had to make some tight bends in heavy cables (200 to 500 MCM). I made up a couple of thick wall aluminum pipes, one inch dia and 3/4 inch, threaded on one end and with a coupling and a 'smooth bore' bushing. If you can't find a smooth bore, you can machine the threads out of a regular one. If you cut the cable to length before bending, you will have to re-trim the now staggered inner wires, but pre-cutting makes for easier access to the bend site. Since I had access to several lathes, I knurled the end of each pipe to give a better grip, since dielectric grease seems to find it's way onto every tool. They made nice, neat 90 degree bends in the stiffest of cables...👍

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

I will 100% continue to fully watch your sponsor sections if you keep doing them like this. Boat is coming along nicely, too!

[@meganluke444]

Loved the longer and more technical aspect of this video. These systems have gotten more technical and certainly were not imagined when the boat was first built.

[@codyeakle1519]

Your videos get better and better each time! I’ve been hooked for a couple years now. I literally start counting down the days to the next episode the moment the latest episode ends.

[@allanbray852]

Love the videos. The latest one circled back to an interesting technical diversion that is happening within the sailing community. On one side, we are seeing the evolution of foiling raceboats that tear along at multiples of the apparent wind; on the other, we see the use of wind power to create electricity creating the waterborne equivalent of a hybrid car in a rebuilt classic yacht. I've been following your series from the start because I love to see the craftsmanship in constructing Tally Ho (and stand in perpetual awe of Leo and the crew building the boat) and I am inspired to do what I can with my own fibreglass sailboat. Brilliant! Keep up the good work!

[@ianjones1118]

The quality of this build is going to win trophies before it even hits water. It's like an opiate for those who care.

[@skipper2285]

It's a simple thing, but seeing all the wires just long enough to get the job done and all the "blue boxes" aligned in parade ground fashion really warms my heart. I'm happy that you have a skilled professional doing this work. I once had a hot rod mechanic do similar work on a much smaller boat with results that would make nesting rats proud.

[@fearandloathing42]

The content and format on this channel just keeps improving like the boat, slowly, purposefully and with class. When they both are polished and complete the videos and the boat itself are gonna be purely amazing.

[@helplmchoking]

Its awesome seeing just how many systems go into a functional boat! Ive been around boats a long while and have a good idea of the typical systems and their functions but i havent been able to see each one right down to the components like this. Puts the cost of larger boats and the long build times into perspective. The actual floating hull is a lot of work but the systems, even on a relatively simple boat like this, are complicated and time consuming. Its like building the whole propulsion system for a car, and an entire house worth of wiring and plumbing, on top of a large and labour intensive wooden hull

[@snowgorilla9789]

As a Canadian Shipbuilder I am absolutely impressed by your team, vessel, and very very well thought systems. Always stop to watch your vids, even the corny commercials

[@coshtor]

Hey Leo, if you are worried about fire in the electrical locker, there are products that are pressurized tubes containing fire suppression chemicals. You mount them above where fire may break out, and the heat of fire will melt the tube and extinguish the fire. The systems I've had experience with are made by blazecut. They have a stand alone tube only system, and a tube and cylinder system that has a larger capacity, but works on the same principal of automatic detection and dispersion. The tube and cylinder system has the advantage of being able to set off an alarm.

[@Buckey1194]

Really appreciate the level of technical detail and the manner you guys handle the sponsorship. The humor works great.

[@QM1Phrogge]

Years ago, when I was foreman at Bristol Marine in Rhode Island, or later when working at Sailors Wharf in St. Pete, FL, In often bored holes through hulls to install new through hull fittings, and drilling each and every one was a bit mind boggling, since I was boring a big hole through a hull, sometimes below the waterline, but knowing once the fitting and valves were properly installed, all would be watertight. I can only imagine, though, how difficult it is for those working on Tally Ho, to bore a hole through the pristine new hull. My accolades to all who are, and have been working on the restoration/reconstruction of a great Lady!

[@toi_techno]

Great video as ever! This series has shown me a side of Americans i hadn't really seen before. Electricity certainly is dangerous. When i was a kid I used to solder together guitar effect pedals to try to make different noises. At the end of one soldering session in my excitement to try the circuit I pushed the live and neutral prongs in with my fingers. I woke up on the other side of my bedroom, my arms felt like they had been hit with a sledgehammer. When I went downstair mum said the electricity had tripped and did i know anything about why it had tripped. I told her I didn't.

[@tpfmusings]

Hey Leo, I’ve watched every video so far! I’m an electrician in the UK and moving into prosumer AC/DC systems domestically and commercially. This is great to see how your implementing different systems like we do in canal boats here! Just a thought I know your spark mentioned RCBO’s for your AC side circuits feeding the boat but we are moving now into AFDD’s which are an over current device, RCD device and an Arc detection device rolled into one. While there more expensive they are now coming into our industry in certain areas… with the amount of wood in your boat I’d maybe consider fitting these which will trip and indicate with an led if an Arc is detected before it becomes something much worse that an RCBO or MCB might not even detect. Sorry if someone’s already mentioned this haven’t made it through all the comments 😂 All the best with the build. Look forward to seeing Tally Ho on the water!

[@claykarmel7720]

The 12V of your car battery is safe because it's 12V, not because it's DC. Higher DC voltages can be dangerous, too, because when you first touch them, you see a 'step function' of voltage, which mimics AC to your body. AC was adopted for the electrical grid because we could transmit 3 phases on 3 wires (and not need a return wire), and because transformers could readily be used to step voltages up or down. Higher voltage for long distance/high capacity, lower for neighborhoods, and lower yet for end users. But modern electronics has made high voltage/high capacity DC transmission lines viable, too. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. Good rules for electrical safety. 1) Assume a circuit is energized until you know it is not, and de-energize before working on it if possible, 2) Assume a circuit is a dangerous voltage until you know it is not, 3) keep one hand in your back pocket (electrical paths across your heart are worst-case scenarios).

You guys do a tremendous nice job. My compliments. A review on your toilet dump system . It looks good but those Y valves will act up eventually. My 2 cents, make it simpler. Dump the toilet waist via de top of the tank. Dump the tank straight true hull by gravity. With a valve on the bottom of the tank you make the tank a tank. A second hole, stand pipe and cap on the top for emptying the tank at the dock. Install a large filter in between the vent line for obvious reasons. If your toilet hose to the tank is long install a siphon, this to relieve the toilet form back filling. Less valves less trouble. If your tank dump is above the water use a waist pump.

Important systems entered or will enter the boat. It'd be wise to START writing "guides" to those while expert installers are around: how to procedures, troubleshooting lists, fast fixes, scheduled maintenance, emergency instructions, etc. Eventually, cover: pre-sail check list, inventory, engine guide, generator guide, electricity plan/guide, electronics plan/guide, hidraulics... also: "flood" action plan, "colision" action plan, "fire" action plan, "pan pan" action plan, " mayday" action plan, " abandon ship" drill, etc. Keep it brief, a column with relevant issue/part/problem, a second one sending you to a page in a manufacturer manual, instructions or procedures you wrote, plans, drawings, printed lists, check lists, or anything you have on board that may save you time (and more) when things go wrong.

I would suggest that Tally Ho is far superior in craftsmanship and one can imagine the feel of her beating heart the first time she takes the wind. With Leo's vision and all the work from all the craftsman who have been involved through various stages of her revival, every episode reveals her coming back to life, one screw, piece of wood or another bung hole . Now I can turn my weather worn old face into the youthful glow to mimick patricks beautiful complexion, all due to today's episode. 😂😂😂

Congrats on your choice for the electrical attention to detail. Craftsmanship is not only making the system work correctly, but to do so such that trouble shooting that eventual day down the road when something does go wrong, it'll be easy and systematic to diagnose. Also congrats for the amount of redundancy in cross connections of systems. Battery/Motor/Generator/Engine full circle duplication is giving you many advantages for success.

I loved it Leo, thanks so much!! The sponsored bit was really well done too, genuinely hilarious. I work with electrical and cooling systems at work and the work you guys are doing is absolutely beautiful, the access and the flexibility and the layout seems completely top-notch, I'm so impressed.

So I’ve been watching this channel since the beginning and it has inspired me to restore (or more accurately, have restored) a 1950 Trumpy built (!), S&S sloop that was a bit tired, and should be ready for the Maine classic race circuit this summer. But little could I have known that this channel could help look more youthful. I actually bought one those FOREO Bears (not even drunk shopping) and I have to say, they really work. So Leo, don’t be embarrassed to advertise even the strangest items on the channel. At least one person will pop up who is a satisfied customer (although there may be others… I haven’t read the comments.) Ha!

I really appreciate the amount of technical detail that you included. I am in the process of restoring a much smaller sailboat and it really helps. Thanks for making this video!

[@The333]

Without doubt, the only time I will watch integrated ads are when the Sampson crew does them! LOL You guys are like web advertising gold. It's amazing to watch how traditional - old school craftsmanship and wood working is being married up with current marine tech on Tally Ho. Super impressive and fascinating to watch. This is definitely a cool video for all of us techies, nerds, DIYers and gear heads. Bravo.

[@ronaldmallette]

I really appreciate all the failsafes and redundancies that you've built in. Your sailing should be a wonderful experience knowing that you'll have all your problems generally taken care of. We'll done and we'll thought out.

[@amandahugankiss4110]

Finally on to MY favorite part of the project. :) Love you guys!

[@jondamazo4080]

Beautiful installations guys. Not much better than really well laid out electrical and plumbing lines. Love it.

[@samgilkison5481]

Literally the only channel that I watch the sponsor ads looks like the best environment to work in

[@lindacolaprete7324]

Great job Leo !! Your boat is as close to perfection as anyone can get!

[@mdouglaswray]

Loved the video! Your diagrams are wonderful - I'm hoping there will be a book created about this project and look forward to seeing all the various illustrations you've produced gathered together. Also, can vector files of the ships drawing be had? Would make outstanding wall art!

[@marvincultee6740]

Your crew and you actually make me laugh every time I watch your ads. The only ads I watch .

[@areallybradidea]

Your ads, as you are "integrating" them are actually making my day. As a ad exec in this world..... I could only hope everyone who undertakes this genre as personal and purposeful as you all are. Much love- Bradley

[@alanmcinnes1111]

Leo, I really enjoyed your detailed explanation of the electrical system. It looks like you will be set up for any contingency. I’m impressed with how you are managing to blend state of the art technology with the finest wood craftsmanship to create what will be one of the most beautiful wood sailing ships to grace the oceans.

[@anthonyashgrove2908]

Hi Leo, great to see the progress you are making. Noticed a bit of movement in the fulcrum bolt on your engine/gearbox dog clutch. not sure if it just loose or needs a bush, if it does maybe I can make one for you

[@Anand_KL]

Wonderful passionate team. And with your leadership, the heritage boat is transitioning into a modern marine vessel. Great stuff to watch; compelling viewing. With all the do's and dont', the when's and why's, it appears an Operations and Maintenance Manual must be produced so everyone on board knows exactly what to do. Leo, you should consider a BIM model LOD500 which would take managing the boat to the next level

[@ApexWoodworks]

I, for one, genuinely appreciated the details you've provided on the electrical system. There's so many things to understand when undertaking such a mammouth task as rebuilding a sailing boat of this calss. Thanks for that! In addition, I've got to say that I absolutely love your commericals, Leo!! You and your team are so imaginative!! Please keep them up.

[@TitoRigatoni]

I love the technical stuff, keep it coming! I used to work for a naval architect, doing mostly systems design work on superyachts. I find this stuff very interesting :-D

[@robswan5765]

This is a super yacht 😉

[@TitoRigatoni]

@@robswan5765 no, this is a yacht. It's a really nice yacht, but it's not a superyacht.

[@buffetline2605]

Send this project $5 once a month. There is like 100k of us watching this series. We can make a difference.

[@torwel24]

Such an amazing Crew around this Gentleman. Thank you all for the Videos of your hard Work.

[@garybouwman2157]

Just the best commercials. Love the amount of detail in your descriptions of the work being done.
