High praise indeed. Not to mention he complimented Patrick on how well he has progressed as a talented shipwright!

[@Lanxe]

I’m glad they asked for clarification even though I knew what he meant. Gold-plating has a somewhat negative connotation where I am because it’s used as an accusation to corporate or government entities over perceived excess in costs.

The reason I have watched from video #3 and supported Leo with donations every two week, is exemplified by Ray Speck's "Gold Plate" endorsement. Ray has been building boats of the highest quality and craftsmanship for decades. The Tally Ho is also being built to the highest standard of excellence. Tally Ho is such a work of art that it makes my heart ache. I am so grateful to be able to watch these videos. They are an eternal delight, a light in my life, a source of pure joy. Humans building for the pure joy of creation.

I just spent my first week at sea. I treaded my first footsteps on a deck of a sailing yacht. After almost 4 years of watching youtube videos and reading books about sailing, I set the main, held the lines of a genoa and 'solo' tacked the forty footer with an autopilot at the helm (his name being Thomas :D). In notably perfect weather, I learned to trim the sails for a comfortable ride towing a line for swimming along the ship, to wash the toerails in the waves on a close-reach, to give a steady wing on wing without flutter. To set the anchor and tie off the stern to shore. To clean the lines on the deck so that noone would trip. To tie off everything that can, and will, go overboard on deck. For my weary soul, this week brought a glimmer of hope like a far away lighthouse coming up through the waves on the horizon for just a moment. I've experienced peace in my heart after a long time once again. Born in a landlocked country, I snuffed out my own heart. But the sea caught it and steadily pulls it to its depths. Part of the ship, part of the crew. My heart belongs to the sea. *Sampson Boat Co* played no small part in my journey towards sailing. One day.. One day I'll buy y'all a round in some port's inn. Fair winds and may Tally Ho's sails be hoisted soon.

Tally Ho is simply becoming an ever more uplifting symphony in wood and the shipwright’s art, she’s going to be utterly stunning when she’s completed and afloat. What an amazing advertisement for the skills of everyone who’s worked on her and what a fantastic vibe humming away in that shed. The good hearts of all of you shine through in every detail of what you’ve created. Leo, this has been a long road from the time, way back when, that you were a journeyman boatbuilder around the Fal. You’re a master of your art now and a credit to your teachers, if anything else were true you’d not have had such a talented group of people gravitate around the project and trust you with their reputations. I hope that one day you’ll cross the pond heading this way and moor up in Falmouth, Mylor or St Mawes. I’d love to see her and I know so many people around the estuary that have followed your progress would too. I am absolutely certain that there’s more than a couple of beers waiting for you behind a bar or three. Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻

[@frederickstibbert7389]

I'll wager that Tally Ho's crew won't be allowed to pay for their beer at any port or marina bar in the world, for quite a few years.

Who could have known that when Leo dragged home that rotten, falling apart, corpse of the original Tally Ho that it would turn out like this!! The best that I expected was a kinda-OK DIY rescue, but also likely was an abandonment when reality sunk in.

Well done, Leo !

Archiving the videos is obviously a great idea as is a beautiful book documenting the history and rebuilding of 'Tally Ho'.

[@oh8wingman]

I've been watching your videos since the beginning and I have to say that the "Gold Plate" designation that Ray Speck bestowed on your efforts is most assuredly deserved. There are not many these days that are willing to put in the effort to reconstruct anything to the level of perfection that you and your crew have and are doing. I can't wait to see her on the water under sail and heeled over in an offshore breeze. Kudos to you and your crew. Regarding your crew, when you first started you had a group of what appeared to be ragtag drifters, some with skills, some with marginal skills, some completely green. The one thing they all had in common was the desire to learn and work hard towards developing their skills and, not to be patronizing on my part, to better themselves personally. Not one of your people was just there for the buck which in itself sets them aside from the mainstream. Looking today, what I see is a group who still appear to be a little ragtag around the edges, but in reality have melded together to become a world class team of shipwrights, builders, designers, ships carpenters and a crew of shipmates that could hold their own anywhere in the world. Were my circumstances different, I for one would be proud to be part of that team. Take a bow people, you've bloody well earned it. One final thing. When it comes to the "Tally Ho Show", unlike so much that one sees today in the visual medium, I look forward to seeing your commercials. The comedic wit and unspoken giggles behind them make me actually want to purchase the goods being offered. I wish to hell Madison avenue would have a look at what you are doing and change some of their offerings to match your efforts instead of puking out the same old commercial tripe for the major networks and their viewers.
