EPISODE 98
In this episode we welcome Megan and Patrick to the crew, and then continue with fairing the hull and preparing to move the boat! As well as organising a new workshop and place to live, we start deconstructing the boat-shed and lofting floor. Meanwhile, I carve the scallops into the prop aperture area that will help to improve water-flow over the propeller.

"Hi, My name's Pancho. Im a parrot and wood carver. Im on a mission to eat the staging for this 110 year old boat"

[@robinhodgkinson]

I’m sure there are some very strict rules when it comes to Pancho. Take your eye off him and he’d chew a bloody great chunk out of the boat in 5 minutes.

[@robinhodgkinson]

@Captain Sandwich Right, I get it.... Rule 1: I must not chew the boat! Rule 2: See rule 1.

[@stevbrkr]

@@robinhodgkinson, they thought Pancho was a boy until he layed an egg. Now Pancho is a girl.

You should name the tender after Pancho. She is a plank owner for sure and should be remembered wherever in the world Tally-Ho sails.

[@greghart6310]

Only if you let her chew a few chunks out of gunwales! Then it will be worthy of the name:-)

[@RupeeRhod]

When Leo moves shop I assume Pancho stays behind at his current hosts' place. We need him to have a Pancho plush that can overlook the new shop in that case.

[@donnakawana]

Aww Pancho she's so beautiful watching over everything an everyone...

[@davidantill6949]

She will really miss all this activity. 😢 I already feel sad for her

[@Dustmadeout]

Why is she not flying?

[@kentkrieg8747]

As a long time resident of Clallam County I'd like to apologize to Leo and the talented crew. "Great View, No Vision" should be the county motto. What should be a shining example of what this area can produce is instead an example of what dedicated and artistic people can produce under bureaucratic, small minded duress. The energy, money and worries Leo has had to fight is forever a black stain on our county. The most obvious foolishness being the need to move the boat with a beautiful end in sight. More wasted time and resources when only fools would not see an end is in sight. We have great people in the county but obviously not in our bureaucracy. Thanks to Leo and the crew for allowing us to see that artistic people can come together to make something as wonderful as Tally Ho. Leo for being a stellar example of how a good person handles themselves with dedication, courage and true class in the face of unreasonable assault. Thanks to the many crew for highlighting the best traits humans can have, hard work, cooperation, teaching, comradery and good will. An example the world would do well to follow. It's been inspiring to watch. Good luck in Jefferson county. May your move be seamless and productive. I'm sure Port Townsend and Jefferson will welcome you with open arms. I guess we get stuck with a MAT clinic instead. No waiting, no lines (their add).

[@paulwilliams3494]

What does not kill you makes you stronger! If I get the spin here, small minded people are the losers every time. A very talented gentleman named Leo stands head and shoulders above it all. Bravo, Tally Ho...........

[@ulrichhoworka2906]

Your county had the chance to become famous in the world but you missed it. Leo is sheer genius in craftsmanship and pure excellence in team building and team working. Greetings from Germany. Good winds tally ho.

Sadly, there is plenty of room in our lives for counter productive fools and naysayers… Fortunately, there are a precious few visionaries who rise above the critics by sheer force of will and then do so with poise!

[@chewitt6426]

hang on guys, none of you live next door to the relentless sound of power tools, hammering, sawing and not to mention the massive quantities of dust this work must produce (for years). The site is not a boat yard but residential/agriculture so give a little slack to the neighbor/s who complained. we all love the project and a compromise has been reached so climb down from your moral horses and enjoy the next stage :)

You live next door to constant noise...my town has right to peacefully enjoyment of your home.. this is why... great videos just at the wrong place...residential is it not... time to move to a business zone.... be professional... means dont piss off your neighbors... ever live next to a home build??

[@tomoakhill8825]

Several years ago I was minding my own business when a friend tells me about the insane boat-builder in Washington, who has a KZbin channel. I check it out and think, "Ha! That's not a channel. There are only three videos on it, and there is no hope this guy is every going to rebuild that boat." Ninety-five bi-weekly videos later, I am so glad I am so bad at predictions. This is a glorious example of doing something beautiful for no reason except beauty is it own reward.

Most underrated comment I’ve seen in over 90 Tally Ho videos.

[@rustyreckman2892]

Ok so the joke about running your hand on the Hull looking like you know what you’re doing was pretty awesomely funny

[@amandagardner565]

as funny as it was it's also the most effective way of feeling for highs and low spots, the eyes can lie the hands don't. . painters in auto body shops don't wear gloves while sanding because they need the tactile feedback of running their hands over the car body.

[@stevenr8606]

⬆️ that's true. They also don't look, for the eye tells lies.

[@pauleohl]

Running your hand over the part you sanded has some erotic aspects, like running your hands over your lover.

I cracked up at Patrick's intro and him at 6:07 faring and OMG the transformation of Tally Ho at 7:47

[@danrichard526]

Watching you dig out and put back in the slotted brass screws reminded me of when my older brother, a shipwright apprentice, was building his first boat in Victoria (across the way) in the mid 60's. Except that power hand tools were very primitive back then. Drills were not cordless, not variable speed and not reversible. Even with a gear reduction they didn't have a lot of torque. Needless to say there was a lot of work with a brace and bit. Keep up the great work. The craftsmanship that all of the crew constantly display is very satisfying.

[@douglasfrank9323]

I imagine Leo thinking ... Pete's sure to notice the saw if I just leave it stuck there. Perhaps I can name it Excalibur and whoever can get it unstuck it will be the fairingest of them all.

I really enjoyed the scalloping work on the rudder. There are so many technical things that go into getting Tally Ho shipshape. Welcome to the new crew who were introduced to what in legal circles qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment. Fairing a boat like TALLY HO is torture, Leo should spring for a massage therapist to be available at the end of day, along with 96 jet hot tub. I'm glad I'm not a TALLY HO volunteer. I'm sure I would conk out after 15 minutes. Good job team.

I have watched every one of these video’s and every time I go away for a week or two between episodes and then come back for the newest posting, I am struck by one thing. Tally Ho is an incredibly beautiful and well constructed craft. Her fit and finish are absolutely spectacular and it almost seems like a crime to cover such amazing workmanship with paint. This video demonstrates what a talented group Leo and company are and I would literally pay them for an opportunity to go and work on the boat.

[@timwebb8153]

Pete's blown hydraulic line story cracked me up. In college I worked the overnight shift at a ski resort making snow. One night the groomer cat blew a .5" hydraulic hose right in the middle of the most popular run. It looked like a murder had happened there - the snow was blood red. The part wasn't going to arrive until noon the next day, so we had to put snow fence around the cat until we could get it off the hill, as it was considered a hazard.

[@AnthonyHigham6414001080]

The sea is a pretty harsh environment and a paint coating protects the hull. Any part below the waterline has to be painted with anti-foul in any case otherwise marine organisms would grow all over it and slow the boats passage through the water and ultimately destroy the planking. The varnished internal timbers are really beautiful though.

Hey Leo , plastering guys use a light bulb on the end of an extension cord to set fairing while long boarding their walls , arches and barrel cellings . At night it is easy to mark areas of concern for the crew's attention tomorrow . Just lay the bulb against the hull and you can easily see the highs and hollows .

[@sueandpaulstickley7930]

Leo: have you thought about using a propeller with more than three blades? I have not heard/seen it mentioned yet. There is much to be gained from have four or even five blades, and as you will be charging your batteries when sailing by utilising the rotation of the propeller, an efficient prop would be very beneficial. Consider this: with three blades, for every rotation, every blade hides behind the deadwood twice, leaving the other two blades to do the work. With a four-bladed prop, all four are exposed to passing water for much of the time. Five blades will give just a little more, but it's often questioned in cerebral company if the fifth blade is worth it, considering the expense. Just a thought...
