I'm a member of the Nautical Research Guild and we look at numerous ship photos as we research components for our models. In all the ships photos I've viewed I've never seen finer mast and boom hardware, it is absolutely beautiful. The Tally Ho is a very special vessel, may she always take the lead as she dances with the wind.

[@waynegrissom8845]

As she dances in the wind!!!!!! I love your choice of wording as the Tally Ho will soon sail and dance across the seas.

[@nospoon4799]

She is incredible. I like how it is modernised too. I think Albert Strange's mind would be blown by the modern nav system.

[@thecapturban]

She was an orphan of a long forgotten time, only to be reborn as a child of 2 great nations with the sophistication that Britain is known for and the strength of the American Purple Heart at her core! She will be one of the most elegant ladies on the seas when Capt Leo salts her for the first time❤

I always love seeing the purpleheart wood go into the boat. As someone who doesn't do much woodworking other than cutting a few bits of pine now and then, it's color is so alien to me! But kind of like cedar, with how it changes over time and after cuts.

[@lunkydog]

Osage Orange does the same and although I appreciate the patina, it still makes me sad to see electric yellow go away.

[@arminrichard1836]

I thought it was nuts how long those cuts with the chainsaw took. Even sped up it took forever. I would guess that an one cut took about 30 minutes. So an hour just to cut these pieces apart. Crazy stuff

[@ivyisle]

purple heart is a very difficult wood to work with. it's very hard. the only carving I ever did with it I had to use coarse rasps, and my grandfathers WW2 kabar knife XD

[@michaelbright9162]

I make hiking sticks as a hobby with various designs of top. Recently I thought it would be good to make a market stick top out of purple heart. I had never heard of this wood until I started watching Leo and the crew. However, once I started cutting and shaping the wood I was astounded as to how difficult to work so all praise to the crew. I finished off my stick with Danish Oil. While the process was more difficult than I could have envisaged the end result was well worth it and probably foolishly I am just about to start on another. Well done all the crew. There are people who call themselves carpenters and then there is Leo’s crew.

[@benjaminliar]

Xyla Foxlin used a small piece of Purple Heart to make a bass, and said the wood was so difficult to work with she'd never touch it again. Love thinking about that every time they start roughing up another big chunk of Purple! This crew ain't afraid of work

[@andthen0170]

I feel like when Leo decided to polish the bronze floors as opposed to just clean up the castings, that was a defining point on the level of finish. None of us knew at that stage what this boat would become. Now we see all these details and it finally makes sense why he polished those floors.

[@timcarnell5133]

As someone who spent a working life in engineering / fabrication, take it from me, the level of craftsmanship in the bronze work is sensational, it matches the rest of the vessel perfectly.

[@ian-c.01]

Yeah it's so easily overlooked too ! That kind of workmanship (work person ship?) is rare, it appears to be fairly plain and simple but in reality it doesn't get any more accurate or precise ! There's an art to hiding that level of craftsmanship in simple looking pieces and that's hard to learn !

Funny, because I have my own project that I feel is quite significant on the global stage, where I do sponsorship, development, architecture, construction and science and education. But maybe because I am isolated at the end of the road in the middle of nowhere that it is so cool to see Leo and company pull this amazing project off and actually participate to some small extent, knowing that I am am only a 12-hour drive from a potential port for the vessel in the Caribbean.

[@trevfindley4155]

I’m also a little confused about how the teak rail was mounted. Was it in two pieces split down the middle and both notched into slots in the posts. I was expecting the rail to master the posts, then the bolts to go through all of them , but I guess they needed the posts to stick out above…

[@edwardschmitt5710]

Centered to the posts? LOL they need to be centered on the backing oak down below MORE. Where that was is dictated by the support structures underneath. The rail had to be where it is by the distance to the mast. Of course I guess but drilling into the center isn't hard.

For any other non-sailors scratching their heads at 13:35 perhaps this helps: Boom = Wooden pole for controling the lower edge of the mainsail (not a loud sound) Sheet = Rope line (not a sheet) Horse = Iron bar to hold the aformentioned sheet (not a horse).

She is a fantastically beautiful boat Leo, and those drone shots of her show just how amazing she is and how very large she truly is! I’m hoping the work would continue for two years in Port Townsend, but I believe we can measure the time until christening in months. Wow, so much amazing work being shown, and so much more we don’t see. Cheers

I've watched every episode,and enjoyed all of 'em ! The quality of the workmanship,the camaraderie is just great to watch.Got me thinking though about the guy's who built the original Tally Ho,no cordless drills, fancy woodworking machinery etc etc,and just how much would that restoration cost without folks chipping in, having become intoxicated by Leo's efforts ? Whatever, bloody good stuff !

Surfshark really get their money's worth advertising with you guys, the production value is through the roof. Can't wait for the next episode of "Dutchess of Desire, oh and the boat stuff as well of course.
