EPISODE 166
In this episode I finally get around to finishing the Teak companionway ladder that is the main entrance to the boat. Underneath it is a critical electrical distribution locker that contains a lot of technology that mustn’t get wet, so I have to design and make some watertight locker-lids!
Meanwhile, Bob does some beautiful work fabricating some custom bronze vents for the lazaretto and installing an elegant fairlead through the bulwarks. Oh - and the Duchess has a baby!

Four words… “ the tiny little plane”! PLEASE show some info on the tiny plane used on the stair tread joint. I’ve never seen such attention to detail. A true craftsman. (It looks like it’s made of brass, has a blade,and is adjustable! One can only imagine sharpening it.)

[@cb88888]

To look back at the first videos to see Leo working by himself and then to see the workmanship of the entire team today and the quality of the work and parts is quite amazing. I can't imagine Leo could look at the boat today and say that it reflects his original vision. What a journey!!

[@johnanderson8096]

WOW... Well Well Said... X 100000000!!!!!!!!

[@000polsris000]

I would say if he looked at the state of the boat today, he'd be absolutely blown away at how far it is already exceeding his original vision. This isn't just a restoration. There's too much love in the boat for such a simple word.

[@kurbelweller1343]

I would argue that the current position and team not only reflect Leo's original vision, but meet, comply with and exceed that vision. The project carries the original concept of restoring, rebuilding and resurrecting the Strange yacht, as Strange designed it, but updated to the point of practicality. The over-riding constant, though, is craftmanship...

[@cb88888]

I cannot imagine anyone who has watched Leo's earliest videos would share your view about the current boat reflecting Leo's original vision. I would enjoy having Leo comment but I am quite sure he expected to take on this project out of love with the intention of doing the as much work on his own to practically restore TallyHo. The funds which Leo has been able to raise and the continuing support he has received from the viewership I am quite sure have wildly exceeded his original expectations (as well as mine), all well deserved and earned!

[@darcyperkins7041]

​@@cb88888I would say that in terms of the work, he probably envisioned doing a lot of the work himself, but as for the vision, he probably always envisioned the highest level of craftsmanship.

If all the historical owners of Tally Ho could see what Leo is building here, they'd be totally blown away. It's the same boat but updated to the 21st century. Luxury has been replaced with perfectionism in terms of usability and craftsmanship. Probably only a master boat builder AND accomplished sailor could pull this off, with the help of crowd funding and a lot of very talented people. Leo's had a positive impact on a lot people, all around the world. That's remarkable.

[@tomparker9966]

This sailing yacht has truly been built back to a level of craftsmanship that dwarfs its original build. The level of detail is a blend of art and craftsmanship. Hopefully it will receive the care and upkeep required to preserve it fo another 100 years as well as provide enjoyment to all those lucky enough to sail on her.

I was doing KZbin search of how wooden boats were built in old days, KZbin search used to work then I got some useful videos and thankfully I bookmarked them. It also suggested videos from Leo's channel and acorn to arebella, latter's channel had started earlier but there was nothing boat like happening then apart from lots of wood cutting, Leo's channel had just started, I subscribed to them both. Nice to see both projects develop over time.

A friend once asked me what was the difference between other KZbin boatbuilders and Leo? and why should they watch Leo? I told him that most boatbuilders build to about an 8 - 9 out of 10 in terms of quality and craftsmanship. I said Leo builds to a 12. The artistry, craftmanship, and total respect for wooden boatbuilding is nothing short of perfection. Someday this "build" will end, and that will be a sad day.

Out of all the many embedded advertisements that youtube videos have, the Duchess is the ONLY advertisement that I not only watch... but look forward to.

REALLY looking forward to mast stepping video... that's a huge milestone!

The fit and finish of the ladder is exceptional. The design of the vents are ingenious, not to mention Bob's craftsmanship in fabricating and installing them.

For information, a Panama lead is a fair lead which is situatied in the bow/stern on the center line of the ship. it's a requirement for ships that pass the Panama Canal. The steel wires to the locomotives that pull the ships trough the locks are passed trough these centerline located panama leads :).

[@moebeddah2288]

What is Panama Fairlead? A non-roller type fairlead mounted at the ship’s side and enclosed so that mooring lines may be led to shore with equal facility either above or below the horizontal. Strictly pertains only to fairleads complying with Panama Canal Regulations, but often applied to any closed fairlead or chock.

Anyone who's watched from the time Leo first bought and moved Tally ho to its first location and started tearing out all the rotten wood has got to be as amazed as I am with how fantastic Tally Ho looks now. Leo had a dream and to be honest I thought he was a little nuts. But he's definitely proved if you have a dream and are willing to work as hard as he has with the help of a group of amazing craftsmen and women your dreams can come true. Well done Leo and all the people involved with giving this old boat a new life. Now to be able to see Tally Ho sailing under full sail with Leo at the helm. I've got some serious health issues and I've hoped and prayed I'd be around to see Tally Ho cutting through the waves under sail, and I think it's going to happen.

Every thing that this guy says about gaskets is what I learned about using O rings.

[@Gottenhimfella]

Except there are a few added wrinkles and benefits: with tubular gasket material there is no need to provide side clearance (a wider groove) to accommodate the displaced volume, and the absence of a gap prevents dirt packing in alongside the gasket. Also the hollow tube does not push so hard against the lid as a solid rod would for a similar hardness (and hence abrasion resistance) of compound, meaning you don't need so much stiffness in the lid to maintain squash force between widely spaced dogs or fasteners.

3:19 rather than CA glue, i would use rubber glue (it's the black one) from Loctite. It's specifically compounded for rubbers and similar materials and it doesn't change the structure of the material where it touches. I've used it for years to glue rubber gaskets and other similar items and it has the longest lasting bond +, as i said, it doesn't change the rubber, it still remains rubber even tho it's bonded whereas CA glue actually does affect the rubber and that surface bond becomes brittle over time, especially if it flexes.

One of my earliest memories is standing on our couch, staring at the picture hanging on the wall of three tall ships sailing in rough weather. It captivated me. I think even at that age I had an understanding, that a ship, or boat, sailing on the wind, isn't just beautiful, it's also very much a living thing. And, watching you bring Tally Ho back to life has been a joy. The dedication, the hard work, the craftsmanship has been awe inspiring. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who get's sea sick standing on shore, so I can only imagine what it feels like sailing on a living ship... and to be honest, just imagining it is making me a little sick right now. 😂 But, I can also imagine... that putting to sea on something you have worked so hard on, invested so much time in, poured so much of yourself into, is going to have to be one of the most amazing feelings you've ever had. And... I thank you for letting me share some small part of that. Even if my feet stay firmly planted on solid ground. 😊

The lazarette vents are beautiful but also ideal wasp nest attractors. Maybe some screens.

Came for the boat building but now I just want to know what happens to Charles and the Dutchess of Desire

It is a pleasure to watch top class tradesmen and women doing beautiful work on Tally Ho.

Need a second channel for purely Duchess of Desire episodes!
