EPISODE 99
In this episode, we - you guessed it - paint the boat. This video features some of the most satisfying blue-tape peeling footage ever to have existed!
We also explain how we find the waterline, why we don’t want to varnish the planks, why we haven’t filled the seams yet, and so on.
Pancho observes, Backtrack snoozes, Patrick and Megan paint a bed-frame.

If you were here very early (like in the first 10 mins) you may have encountered a lot of ads during the video. That was a wrong setting but is fixed now, if you refresh there should be no ads during the video! Also note that Subtitles / CC are now auto-generated by KZbin, and will be available automatically as soon as they are ready.

[@adamkay9897]

Do you I know, I never noticed there were no adverts during your videos but when I watched this first time I thought something was wrong and the story was interrupted. Thanks for putting you content ahead of endless and pointless adverts, even though you loose out on revenue. Looking forward to seeing Tally Ho in Cornwall one day.

As excellent as your video work is the in-person view is stunning. Whenever I drive down the rural farm road out front of your work area raises my heart when Tally Ho comes into view. The paint on the Tally Ho is stunning. I will so miss the finest sight in Sequim when she departs for all her new adventures. I wish you and the Tally Ho all the Best. Thank you for sharing.

[@moonshine3333]

Lovely comment as (perhaps unfairly) Sequim would never now be on my list of go-to places ... I'd never heard of it before ... but Port Townsend are so welcoming they deserve any associated benefits they get. One awkward neighbour and one rip-off valuation on Leo's temporary shed spoilt the whole vibe for me. But still a lovely comment from you 👍👍 ... thanks.

The planking is perfectly symmetrical and shows off her beautiful lines. That doesn't happen by accident. You have skills beyond your years Leo.

The most moving (no pun intended) part of this video was the “reveal” as the gantries and stairs were removed and the bandsaw disassembled. It presages a new stage and location. I’m just a viewer yet my heart is in this boat.

[@StumpCreekSentinel]

Ann, your comment is exactly what I recognized as well. After my years in construction, seeing the scaffold come down signifies that the job in nearing completion; or for Leo and the Tally Ho, getting ready to move to Port Townsend. I've been following Leo since he first purchased the old boat. He has led me to follow and enjoy so many others who are boat builders and sailors.

THIS video made me so happy to have contributed, along with so many others, in a small way to this amazing project. I became hooked from an early video [the live oak episode in Georgia] and have patiently awaited each video release. It would be absolutely lovely to see Tally Ho when she is finally completed. Until such time, I'll continue to contribute and wait in anticipation of the next new video. Congratulations, Leo and crew. Tally Ho looks beautiful. You have so much to be proud of.

[@dominicglover4118]

I have a confession to make. I feel so ashamed to admit it, but, back in June or July 2017, when I stumbled across Leo’s first video, my immediate reaction was sceptical. “Who’s this clown,” I wondered, “who thinks he’s going to rebuild this huge and dilapidated classic yacht?” It didn’t help me to grasp the situation that Leo looked like a teenager, fresh out of school. Little did I know, at that time, that Leo Sampson Goolden was already an experienced boat builder, bosun on an ocean-going schooner, and an award-winning trans-Atlantic solo yachtsman. Well, the past 4 years have put me well and truly in my place - and I don’t mind that a bit, because watching Leo tackle this amazing project has been such a satisfying pleasure and a thrill. I am so excited to see the next steps and looking forward to seeing Tally Ho set sail one day. Thank you, Leo (and all the amazing volunteers). You’re an inspiration.

*BEEN WATCHING SINCE EPISODE 1* honestly, in the early days, I never thought you would finish it. It was SO BAD, I thought it would get 10 episodes and that would be it, abandoned - HOW HAPPY I AM that it turned into that amazing project and I now believe I will see it launched...

[@davidelliott5843]

Ship Happens (about a badly converted and neglected wooden WW2 torpedo boat) had a similar start but they are making great headway. I do hope that can share tricks with Leo.

[@chuckprichard3691]

Leo was smart enough to recognize that this project is far too big for one man and has put HUGE effort into making these highly engaging videos, bringing hundreds of thousands of people into the project as contributors, dozens of volunteers, and of course Pete. Without all that, Tally Ho would never have made it and would be firewood by now. Everyone works on her all day, but Leo works an extra shift on the computer, I suspect, most nights and much of the weekends.

[@cabanford]

Also watching since the start. Am so impressed with Leo's single minded dedication and endless skills. Made my 80 year old mum start watching from episode 1... She said all of her real projects have ground to a stop - think she's at episode 60 ish after 3 weeks of binge Tally Ho'ing 😳🙂

Pancha was of course keeping a critical eye on proceedings - true to form Leo's attention to detail has paid off. It's great also to see the amazing crew having time to have a joke while getting down to work. This project is far more than the sum of its parts. A huge thank you to Leo and crew for taking us along on this journey!!!

[@randydunning7584]

She is a beauty! Can’t imagine how long it would have taken to get to this point without the volunteers and financial supporters. I think I remember you saying early on that you planned to work elsewhere to finance the rebuild. If that were the case I can’t imagine she would have gotten this level of restoration. I know there is a lot left to do but it has to be a relief to get her structural done. Thanks for sharing her journey back to the sea!

It's work may not be done. I think they still have to plank the topside and inside. And it's probably going to follow Leo and the boat to the new location. But, it may need to be moved out of the way in order for Leo to get the forklift in to work on the ballast. And it definitely needs to move out of the way so the truck can get Tally Ho.

My comment on the bed frame fasteners: There's a saying at German boatbuilders that houses are also just badly built boats.

[@dirtboar]

As a german Carpenter who worked on historic timberframe houses I 100% support this statement.

[@bullettube9863]

A boast builder I met in the 1970s told me the same thing! He knew I had started out as a home carpenter and said the level of craftsmanship on a boat was light years ahead of home building. After working with him for three weeks I had to admit he was right! The apartment building I live in now has so many flaws and examples of lazy work I think it's a wonder it doesn't fall down every time the wind blows!

[@DC-uo5hy]

On Man O War Cay in Abaco, Bahamas, the boat builders, also build houses. They have a saying: " We don't build 'ouses, we build boats, some we just fasten to the land". Until September 1, 2020, they never lost a house to Hurricanes. A monster sat there for two and a half Days. Many boats and 'ouses were destroyed. Many also survived the long lasting 195 mph sustained winds and the huge storm tide. They are still rebuilding... Just a note, the houses are bolted together. The old wooden grocery store from the 1800s survived as did 80% of the buildings.

[@sadiesaurus54]

@@DC-uo5hy In sweden that was also often the case, at least with houses built before the 1930s. There has newer been any need fo clay or sticks and no steel nails on the northern log houses and they last for many, many hundreds of years with very little maintence. Sadly there are realy not many people today here who know how to build netiher traditional nordic houses or genuine wooden ships anymore.

[@archstanton9206]

I have been involved in big projects in the past, (when I was young) I know, that in my experience, I got so completely caught up in the day to day managing of the mission, planning for materials, "putting out fires" solving problems, etc, that I really had no time to stop and consider that the project had reached a point where you could "see" a hint of where it was headed. I wonder if Leo experiences this, and I wonder if the paint and the removal of the scaffolding gave him a moment where he stood back and, just for a moment, looked at the boat he is responsible for bringing to life. I hope so. Sometimes the endless work hides the beauty it is creating. I hope you've had a moment to just smile, and come to terms with the incredible vessel that you will forever be linked to, with this wonderful team you assembled who have given so much of themselves as Tally Ho begins to have a heartbeat again. Awesome stuff. Just awesome.

I come from a background of Victoriana restoration and historic preservation in SF and surrounding area. Worked on some of the famous ladies bringing them back to their original beauty. The work this crew is doing is right up there with the finest craftspeople we have to offer. I was taught by the best painters back in the day to drop the brush from unpainted to painted? That way you cover the drop edge with the next stroke. And lifting off a wet edge leaves little to no brush marks. But who am I to say? I’m just a lowly general contractor who avoids painting at all cost. “A quality painter makes a good carpenter look great”

I must admit. When you started this project, I thought you a couple of cotton balls short of a bail of cotton, Leo. I'm truly impressed with the result from where you started. Marvelous and jolly good!

[@renaudferte5610]

So nice to see those bow counterbores plugged up ! Can't believe I got to drill those ☺️ Congrats on that milestone, and I have to say it : she's starting to look like a boat ! Hope the move will go on fine and that there's enough cut offs left for the pizza oven :) Xoxo Renaud

[@therebelluthierlab1994]

Leo, May the move go well! I know first hand what it is to go from zoned out residential shop (City of LA 2014 made me work quiet as a mouse @ a trickle - which dampened $ & productivity a lot - under threat of fines for 1 year until I lived out my lease - totally strapped when we moved!), subsequent (dual) move of shop (May 2015) to another town Fillmore CA in a commercial space in a packing house and residential move to the next month (June 2015). I was so pissed, depressed. and exhausted! Not to mention the disruption to all my projects! Then, a year or two later, ANOTHER F-ing zoning/conditional permit shakedown ("Failmore, CA" - corrupt as hell, don't get me started) to being Red Tagged (August 2019 = locked out of shop/livelihood) and sudden unplanned move (November 2019, actually packed boxes/machines in the darl of a fire blackout October 31 - UGH), now, 2.25x overhead in a (really nice) commercial space (Valencia CA). and then the freaking pandemic throwing sand at business a few months later! :( Compliant as F and now this? Exhausted!! Leo, I know the stress! Stay strong M8 and it looks like the "Talley Ho" will be closer to water for launch anyway! Looking forward to launch!

I'm waiting to see Tally Ho racing the Fastnet again !!

This is an exciting time in the project.

Indeed.

The 3 dislikes are people who couldnt handle the journey weve been on. Been here since day one cant wait to see her maiden voyage

[@jackielinde7568]

No, the three dislikes are from the nosey neighbor and the two friends on the county board.

[@narmith]

@@jackielinde7568 Haha! And they also watch the progress of this vessel? That would be some win-points. My guess is the dislikes are about the paint... we all love naked wood, but this is a salt-water entity.

[@MrSamrobz]

The dislikes are from people who know they don't have the skills or the spine to build something as amazing as this so they are salty 😆

[@jackielinde7568]

@@narmithYou'd be surprised who watches what. A study of the Howard Stern radio program found that the most listen time per group of people wasn't his fans. They'd tune in for an hour or two and then go on to other things. Nope! It was the people who hated Him and were listening for anything he might say or do that they could use to get the FCC to take down Howard's show. Likewise, most of the people who call into shock jock shows like Howard's were the people with an axe to grind and wanted the hosts to know it. People are f-ing weird.

[@narmith]

@@jackielinde7568 LMAO. Those people need therapy. Around the world we do not follow nor see what we hate or make us feel bad, even if it's your neighbor through a window instead of internet. Seems to me they have a lot of free time to spend on nonsense instead of living the life :D Take care!

[@bradleypark1936]

Just WOW. She is absolutely beautiful. I am looking forward to see the process of re-attaching the ballast. Cheers.

[@1240enzo]

Woo hoo, Tally Ho looks like the grand boat she once was. An absolute credit to you all. How wonderful to see the paint work. 👍

[@stevebutterworth1937]

Just WOW!…. And Pancho will be beside himself if he wakes up to find Tally Ho gone😥

[@jimmiles33]

Poncho is a lady.

[@stevebutterworth1937]

@@jimmiles33 ooops!

[@organbuilder272]

Well, isn't that a pretty sight. Even low-gloss paint looks nice. You don't need a highy reflective surface to be beautiful anyway. The work is just beginning, isn't it Leo? Nicely done. Tally-Ho comes to life once more.

[@bill3641]

The neighbors ( whoever they are ) should be ashamed for chasing this project away . What a great opportunity to watch true craftsmen and women practice their art form . If I were in the area I would have been supportive and visited when allowed and made sure that the fridge and cookie jar were stocked .

[@nielskorpel8860]

from the vids around that time, it seems as if most of leos neighbohrs are actually like this. We never see them because leo never has trouble with them, so we don't remember them either. Now, we are just seeing this one person who isn't supportive. I mean it sucks that one person can ruin things for everyone else, and naturally thats the one that we will remember, but its nice to know most people aren't like that.

[@andrewzanas9387]

@@nielskorpel8860 Whoever it is, she's entitled to the quiet enjoyment of her property. It's been four years. We don't know their circumstances. I get the emotional negative feelings this has stirred up, but hey, they deserve some peace now. I credit the owners of the property who invited Leo to set up there in the first place. That was incredible but believe it's time to move and it's necessary. This move will turn out to be far more positive and productive for all, especially the kids other than Leo who've been making a name for themselves within the wooden ship building community both inside and outside the country. These young people are becoming artisans. Hopefully they can manage to stay connected when this is over.

[@YABBAHEY1]

Looking forward to spar work (& decking) She's coming along bristol

[@brendandonnelly8375]

When I think what the original hull looked like when Leo first got hold of it, rolling back the tarp off the top of the boat means so much more.
