you need some sort of engraving of poncho on the boat , maybe with the names of all the volunteers and boatwrights around it to commemorate the rebuild. it has been an epic voyage so far arguably as historic as the boat its self.

[@lawrenceallen8096]

Leo, I've had a look at pictures of Tally Ho's historical gaff rigging ( no clear, close-up detailed photos I could find). When I saw your newly installed mast with the bow-facing white "H" shaped protrusions about 3/4 of the way up, I thought: "Hey, they installed the mast backwards. Isn't that supposed to be the attachment point hardware for the main gaff-rigged sail? Shouldn't that be aft-facing?" Please explain to me how I am wrong. What is that for? Thank you.

[@mattycreek384]

How is your finger m8

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

sure there is a long way to go yet .. BUT since you started this off seeing it come back together an seeing it's main mode of movement starting to grow ... is a nice sight to see ... the end is much closer now

[@manfredagne6738]

@@lawrenceallen8096Those "protrusions" will secure the (lower end of) the topmast. Traditionally, and I assume for very practical reasons too, the topmast sits forward of the lower mast. I'm not sure about yachts, but in larger sailing vessels, the upper masts can be lowered by the crew when preparing for bad weather. With the gaff and boom at the aft side of the mast, the topmast needs to go down (and up) at the fore.

I‘ve been following Tally Ho from day 1, well, the first video that is. WHAT a transformation, what a milestone! What years of work, wisdom and professionalism put into this project, all the things learned and achieved, all the people who put in their knowledge and effort. And now look at her! YES there‘s lots to do still. But she’s back to being a boat, with a mast! For someone who‘s seen the 1$ purchase and the state she was in at the time, this is nothing short of a miracle, and I guess it’s the same for Leo and the crew. Huge congrats from across the pond, keep it up guys, you have basically now turned onto the finishing straight 💪🏻🚀

[@hanshogqvist7927]

I saw the first video also and my thougt was "You are an idiot if you buy this boat!". I have seen some restaoratin projekts in my life ( I am 74 years old ) and most of them slowd down to a stop! But Leo have the knowledge and the stamina it takes for even a very big projekt like this!

Those two coins are a perfect choice. I wrecked my back lifting a 400 lb wheelbarrow load of cement bags when I was your age. After that I dug out a section of my cellar, 224 wheelbarrow loads of dirt and moved them about a hundred yards each. Three years ago rebuilt the house after the biggest tree in the yard fell on it causing 8o thousand in damage. two years ago built a beautiful shed. 1 year ago put a new rubber roof on the house and this year building new stairs, cement and pressure treated wood, for my parents old house. Your back is probably telling you that your working to hard but it is hard to stop. It's in your blood to work hard as it is in mine. The bad news, your back will go out occasionally. The good news, you will still be able to work hard and have a wonderful life. I'm 75. You and everyone involved it making this project a reality are truly a class act.

Leo, I knew you wouldn’t forget the coins under the mast at the mast step, but I breathed a huge sigh of relief when you placed them in just before the mast was set in. Brilliant!

For your back pain: Run a hot bath. Put one pint of epsoms salt in the bath a🎉nd dissolve. Get in the bath ( with a clock on the side) submerge so neck and head above water. When the clock reads 45 minutes (very important 45 minutes) stand up. Your body will be translucent, having absorbed the magnesium into your skin outside in. You will then go to bed and will sleep without pain for over eight hours. When you awake your energy levels will be high and pain free. Everybody should know this little gem.

[@MidnightMaker]

Dude, as a former rigger, this video totally hit me in the feels. I remember how many customers we had to persuade to pull the mast instead of going aloft several times to replace standing rigging. Several years ago I reached out to you about the rigging and you introduced me to Ian. I was watching this with my son this afternoon and I told him that I should've been there. I'm SO happy with the progress you've made over the years. It feels like it was only yesterday that you were ripping the ribs out of the old hull. Watching the work on the spreaders really made me miss my days with Ryan Nelson at the rig shop. Some of the best years of my life.

Even the failed attempt to pour a ballast keel turned into the best keel possible for you. Your channel is the best one on KZbin, it's smashing.

Leo, I found this when You was still working alone and Tally Ho was a mess. Now: Tally Ho looks like a boat again! She WILL go to sea again! Everybody remember the lofting floor? This is why. And I love how Y´all made her come to be. The most amazing guy I remember was the White Oak saw mill. There´s so much good karma in this build.

Tally Ho - the most perfect work of art ever to be launched on the open seas...and Paddy missed it! 😞😂👍

Paddy probably won't miss the launch, that will be another two years 😀

I am terribly impressed with the number of people weekly watching this amazing build. Leo. Sorry bout your back but soon very soon this will pass. O' ya got a tall pole running through your hull, I'd check that out. It looks right but who knows!
