[@kevinz8867]

yeah, that intro through me off!

[@KB10GL]

If we saw the condition of the boat that he bought for $1US you could understand when I say that it was overpriced. Sadly, about 99% of the original timber was little more than firewood. However, it looks like Leo has learned his craft well & I am impressed that he went all the way to the deep south to buy Live Oak simply because it was the best timber for the job at hand. But seriously Leo, $1? Couldn't you haggle?

Leo, cheap fuel fill tip: soak the wood decking around the deck fill completely with water before you start fueling. The water is heavier than diesel and it fills the pores completely before fuel splatters might be landing. The diesel floats and is wiped up easily without residue discoloration of your wood deck. This works on powerboats too.

[@SampsonBoatCo]

Dang, I used to know this trick too! Thanks for the reminder.

[@aserta]

This is a very good tip. One of the oldest in the book.

[@ningpo6924]

good tip indeed, my favorite method is to get a 12 V fuel pump by an auto wrecker and then with some hoses and a switch you can fill in a very controlled way.... looks good , love your channel... all the systems look SO good.... what a journey it's been... thanks

[@dancarter482]

[@adamspangler5027]

After some more thought, put the fridge in the counter. The lower unit should be the freezer. Yes it’ll be harder to access while cooking, but if you’re tacked over or being tossed around with larger swells, it will be a pain to open or close that lower unit, especially when full of food stuff. Under the counter fridge is the right play.

[@Capitaine.Albator]

Keep the freezer in the counter that way the cold is gonna stay down when you open it from the top. Keep the drawer as a fridge… you gonna loose some cold but in the end it will have to work less than to be a freezer 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

[@herpderp159]

Plus as Patty said he'll need the fridge more often (say for milk to make tea) so it makes sense to not have to clear the counter just to access the fridge. Makes sense to have the fridge be pullout.

[@722garage9]

Question is which one do you use most. As a freezer the counter top can be used more. Paddy might be right, but ultimately, what you cook will dictate daily operations!

[@solcrusher]

This is my main argument for making the counter one the freezer. However most of the thermal mass in a freezer or fridge is in the contents, not the air. A freezer or fridge full of stuff will take significantly longer to cool down or warm up. The relatively small mass of air in a freezer isn't as big of a deal. Especially if you aren't constantly opening it. Actually from that point of view, the cold box being opened more often should be the one that better contains the air. But either way, the difference in efficiencies we're talking about here are pretty small. Tally Ho certainly isn't lacking for power availability, so I think whatever is more convenient for the crew is the right call. For further viewing, Technology Connections has a video that gives a lot of insight into fridge/freezer design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boG3m4OwrJ6Jnrs.

[@ahaveland]

Could put walls around the sides of the drawer for the lower fridge/freezer to help keep the cold in.

[@davidc6510]

Fridge access from galley counter has more space for day to day items and keep the cooler on the open and close. Freezer on the pull out used less often and as such not a big deal for short term cold loss.

[@timloveless5409]

I dont know when I have seen Leo so happy/excited/pleased with the way it is coming together. A person buys all that high powered equipment and you are told how it should perform but there is nothing like the thrill of actually seeing it working.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

I was listening... when Leo said that monitor mounted on the bulkhead would enable him to continue making videos. That was music to my ears. I know I'm not the only person who wants this adventure to continue as Tally Ho launches and begins its journey around the world.

I have been watching you from the very first video, wow ! It’s been a journey, but what I have to say is I never seen such beautiful workmanship on wood , from the butterfly, hatches handrails and that beautiful furniture and woodwork on the interior, this boat I think will be seen by many people throughout time in magazines,special videos and the sailing world. This boat will be a beautiful home for Leo and a true example of perfection in wood boats !

[@timloveless5409]

Leo's craftmanship is indeed other worldly. At times I have wondered if he is actually human. A few episodes ago when after drilling bolt holes he drove the bolts in with the back of the drill. With that act, Leo confirmed his humanity.

[@richardmoist95]

We are old power boater (since 1967) with a little sailing experience The First Mate says that because you can/will use the top of the frig as work space the freezer should be there where you will not need access as much.

[@DavidCAkemann]

Agree whole heartedly. The "Fridge" is always open/shut in cooking. The "Freezer" is open to "to get things out" then shut till the next meal. After all, fridge stuff like a cup of milk or teaspoon of this or that, it's always easier. IMHO Love the videos.

[@sthompson3]

Also, the drawer-style unit is going to let most of the cold air out each time you open it. You don't want that for a freezer. Best to have a top-loading freezer to save energy.

[@crwhittle]

@@sthompson3 I was going to say its much, much more efficient to have a "chest" style freezer.

[@dannyarcher6370]

Defo cover the fridge/freezer. Traffic is going to ding that up pretty good.

[@TomLeg]

When the horizontally sliding fridge/freezer is pulled out, all the cold spills away. Inconvenient if that's the fridge, but a significant power drain if that's the freezer. But opening the top and reaching down is a perfect design for a freezer.

[@MikeAG333]

No, "all the cold" doesn't spill away. The cold in a fridge or a freezer is mainly in the contents (high thermal mass), and not in the air (low thermal mass). Losing some cold air is a pity, but it's relatively trivial.

[@ahaveland]

Just add some walls to the drawer to help keep the cold in when it's opened, and also line with aluminium foil and foam insulation.

[@HunterJE]

While I agree the thermal mass is more in the contents than the air, the air isn't trivial insofar as replacing all the cold dry air with warm, relatively humid air every time you access seems more likely to lead to potential frost issues over time, this is all hypothetical so would need to see how the system actually performed in this aspect...

[@MikeAG333]

@@HunterJE That's all true. I was responding to the claim that "all the cold was lost". It isn't, as we agree. Ideally, you wouldn't want to be replacing the air volume every time the unit was accessed.....but even if you did, that wouldn't mean having to replace all the cold.

[@ahaveland]

@@HunterJE Yes, the entire volume of air will be dumped each time it's opened and replaced with warm humid air which will just condense drop out as frost which will consume energy and quickly build up. Chest freezer is the way to go.

What a transformation from the disaster you started off with. I think Albert Strange would be very pleased with what you've done with his creation. Functional and beautiful at the same time, retaining the "old " ways while incorporating modern technology. I get wanting to retain the historical way of sailing, but even Strange was forward-thinking when he added the parafin engine to the design. That's what he had to work with at the time. I don't think he would begrudge you for bringing the old girl into the 21st Century. I have watched this since you started and have been absolutely blown away at the heart and the craftsmanship that has gone into bringing the Tally Ho back to life. So glad you saved her from destruction. Can't wait to see her launched, finished, and under sail. Great work!

Leo, Your smile meter just reset the bar. Progress is excellent. Gally is excellent. Questions: Stove? Gimbles? How about provisions for straps to secure the cook when hard on the wind in a good breeze. Also, Acorn found that the WB stove was less than optimal as the diesel system worked so well that the WB stove was not necessary (i.e., more storage), and they are in the NE with snow and ice. Thanks again for your wonderful skills in editing and mixing and blending of the content and the music. Side note, Many years ago (a long, long, Longgg time ago) there used to be entertainers that would spin table plates in tall sticks. The would progress by adding plates to an array of sticks. The objective was to keep the plates spinning without letting them fall. Seriously now, I don’t know how you keep all the plates spinning on this project. I guess it’s like the Beatles song, “A Little Help From My Friends” . Again, well done! Cheers.

When I saw the first few episodes of this restoration I thought well that shouldn't be too difficult, just replace all the rotten timber and get those sails up. Now as the finish is in sight, boy oh boy what a project this has been, every single piece of timber(apart from the transom) has been replaced even the lead keel has been recast. The mind bogles at the shear amount of detail gone into the fitout, beautiful cabinetry and varnished timber everywhere, a complex power system, there must be five miles of wiring in this vessel.

That diesel is red because it has a dye in it to distinguish it from regular diesel. It is made for off-road vehicles and does not have the taxes applied to it that regular diesel has.

[@garyk.]

Using the counter top for a freezer has benefits. The cold air stays in versus all the cold air flowing out from a front door unit. Just my experience. Saves energy.

[@idontknow31212]

Also it allows for quick Access to the Beer in the fridge without Standing up

[@bnkaiser09]

Right. But under this logic, if using the fridge regularly, wouldn't it make the most sense to have that in the counter top? That way there is less energy loss for the appliance they use the most. If they open the freezer sparingly, the energy loss wouldn't be as big of a deal.

[@olliecook1982]

I loved this episode! Leo is like an excited kid showing off all these cool things. Great progress! However, i do agree with the draw being the fridge and the countertop being a freezer. Mainly so all the cold air doesnt exit the freezer every time you open it as chest freezers are more efficient.

[@olliecook1982]

And you as pat said you get the extra countertop space

[@toml8142]

On the fridge , freezer argument I agree with Patrick!!!. The freezer is multifunctional, useful for vegetables, meat, ice cream and much more suitable to the cooking area, the fridge can only be used for beer, possibly cider (he is from the south west) and much moor suitable for the drinking area 👍

Keep the fridge/freezer as is: The freezer is used infrequently but if used as a fridge, is a trip hazard, when people are milling about, cooking, eating etc, if the fridge is opened often. A better solution would have been to add a freezer next to the counter top fridge. Cold air pools, so it would stay cooler longer when opened.

Also if the freezer is in the pullout space, every time you open it you dump ALL of the freezing cold air, if the freezer is in the counter space, when you open the lid, you don’t dump all of the cold air out of the freezer. The boat is really looking great!

[@douglasmccowen27]

I vote to have the frig be the pullout drawer, which will end up being much more convenient than lifting up the counter-top panels to access the food.

[@09conrado]

Sit on the bench and pull out a cold beer, eh?

[@Bairdovich]

Having to move things around while prepping food, just to grab a minor item from the fridge would be a pain. Be that as it may, you'll need to label the tops of the items down at floor level or you'll be for ever grabbing the wrong things.

[@HunterJE]

Also in a fridge you're much more likely to need any given item at any given time, which that the pull out drawer with side-access facilitates, while in a chest-loading deep freeze you can put stuff you expect not to need any time soon at the bottom and stuff you might need to access sooner/more regularly on top of it...

When Leo turned on the under cabinet lights, I lost it. Much beauty. Such stunning.

[@katrinebohr3119]

massive, massive WOW! I immediately saw the planking,sanding,fayring crew at work, just as Leo turned on the galley lights ✌️ Remembering those episodes, from Sequim. Bless the Tally Ho crew!

[@Racerman27410]

Fridge up top to conserve power . You will be in and out of it more often and being a top loader it will not let all your cold air spill out every time you open it. Side open not the best design for a freezer but it will need to recover less as they are usually opened less often than a fridge.

[@hannesvau3492]

It was the most fun to see the actual lights turned on and the heating system looks just splendid. Keep up the good work. Hannes from Estonia

[@Coyotehello]

Tally Ho is really coming together and we can all feel and see the excitements in Leo voice and smile. These are just precious moments that they are all sharing with us. Thank you!

[@BrisketChef]

As a chef, Leo I’d be honored to cook in that kitchen! Top work!

[@RobertFay]

*- Impressive amount of complicated precision engineering work!* *- As always, the cabinetry work is beautiful.*

"Oh wow look it’s like fruit punch" Someone hide the tidepods..😂

[@karlzipp3706]

That RED color is an indicator for high Sulphur content diesel fuel. If Loe's engine requires low Sulphur fuel, then he would need the blue/green fuel. Red fuel is ONLY allowed off road .

[@obsidianjane4413]

@@karlzipp3706 I doubt they are going to be driving Tally Ho on public roads very much.

[@steampunkskunk3638]

I suspect that Leo selected Diesel powered devices that are tolerant of different grades of fuel. He plans to travel a lot and the quality and grade of fuel he will have access to will vary a lot.

[@devriesfabmachine8721]

⁠@@karlzipp3706it’s all ultra low sulfur now, the red fuel is the same stuff just with a red dye added so law enforcement can easily identify that it’s “off-road only” meaning no road taxes were paid on it.

[@tomparker9966]

​@@karlzipp3706Here in the US red diesel means no road tax and is basically fuel oil or kerosene. Road use diesel has additives that prevent gelling in cold weather and has a green tint. Diesel motors will run on many types of fuel including jet fuel#2 and mineral spirits or paint thinner.

[@martyb3783]

Yes you should cover the fridge. It will be dented up in a few days. Great video as always!

[@Ec1ipse..]

Have the slide-out be the fridge and the top-down be the freezer. Also Id leave the metal surface exposed since it contrasts nicely with the wood.

[@pchpchpch]

Also, you don't want to let cold air out of the cold box The freezer won't have to work as hard to cool things down again after being opened if it's a chest freezer rather than a drawer.

[@HunterJE]

Plus you're much less likely to have something spill or leak in a freezer (most things being solid at least within a short time after being put in there), which is DEFINITELY a thing that happens with top loading fridges no matter how careful you think you're being ask me how I know. Not fun having to pull everything in your fridge out to clean up that mess...

[@LoneEagle2061]

Chest freezers are vastly more efficient than vertical ones; because the cold air is disturbed less by top access than by a door or drawer (which let it all flow out when opened). Depending on how frequently the fridge is used compared to the freezer, condensation may also be a factor to consider as that cold air flows out of the drawer and draws fresh water onto timbers. My assumption is that (generally speaking) the fridge will be accessed less frequently aboard than ashore, as supplies like fresh milk for tea will be limited.

[@danno1111]

Adding to this, I think the counter unit has more capacity and I'd imagine youll want to keep more stuff frozen over a long voyage

[@tomgidden]

Agreed... from the vast amount of knowledge I have from watching less than a handful of videos on KZbin about chest freezers (hey, Alec), it seems to make more sense for the side-opener to be a refrigerator and the top-opener to be a freezer. I get why it feels the other way -- Leo's "freezer" is more stowed-away kneeling-down under stuff than the instant-access standing-up counter -- but the counter-argument makes sense: when you need to get something out of the fridge, like butter, condiments, beer, you'll probably have ingredients being prepped on the counter already.

[@randyarnold6361]

Leo, you have done an incredibly good job in attracting really quality people for this project! The workmanship is perfect!

[@doico]

The boat is getting ready and I'm already starting to watch the videos with a certain nostalgia. Well, we're nearing the end of the series. Bring on the Series: "The Adventures of Tally Ho."

[@christopherdopp8307]

You and your crew will win the Best Craftsman and Ship Restomod award ever, and there needs to be one!!!

[@frederickstibbert7389]

Classic Boat magazine does this kind of thing, but nominations must include a photo of the boat in the water & under way - so not quite yet for Ms. Tally. Not yet, but soon!

[@jrmarsha9]

Leo the amount of thought and planning you put into the systems in particular is really outstanding. This video is proof of it.

[@cb88888]

When Leo made his first video I am sure he could not have imagined that he would get close to half a million subscribers. It is always amazing to read the comments which appear to be universally positive and today there are at least a couple of people who have commented that they only started following recently and yet have watched all the videos from the start. I am sure Leo is in very exclusive company in this regard. Congratulations to the entire team!

[@robludlow3976]

Try opening or closing that freezer in a twenty degree heel. So fridge best under countertop.

[@tszabon]

Leo looks really happy showing all the new stuff inside the boat. You guys doing fantastic work.

[@ibTeeMac]

It's Alive......... So exciting to have another system up and running. Amazing the complexity of all the systems that for the most part go unseen. 110 years ago they would have thought this was a space boat. GJ and another awesome video
