I am convinced that Leo went back in time to the golden age of sailing and snatched Bob up and brought him back to the present.

Leo when you finish this fantastic ship build, would you consider offering a hard bound book about the boat with glossy photos and descriptions of all the details of the boat.  These videos are great but a coffee table book to hold and look at would be a nice companion and a tribute to the project.

The English brought in a German by the name of Sir Dietrich Brandis to establish a forest management system for Teak forests in Burma.  He is considered the father of forest management and receives far less credit for his remarkable life’s work that justice would demand.  Remarkable man.

Hello, my name is Mel.  I'm a cabinet builder and a carpenter.  I sure do miss your videos when you skip a week.

A tun is a large wooden barrel used to hold wine. By 1450 the French were making tuns in a standard size, to ship wine, because the French king imposed an export tax. The English king was taxing the import of wine, so the tunnage of a ship was the number of tun barrels it could hold. A barrel is a complex shape. Packing any ship's hold with barrels will leave a lot of void space. Thus the volume contained in the tuns in a hold packed tight with tuns, is less than the volume the hold could contain if filled with wine not in barrels. The tax is still in place, though of course the tax law has changed a couple of dozen times in the intervening 574 years. But the lawmakers never wanted to re-measure all the ships currently in existence so they kept using tunnage, now spelled tonnage. In fact the current law, the International Maritime Organization's International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, came into effect in 1969. It initially applied to all ships built after July 1982, and then to older ships from July 1994. This is used to determine registration fees, harbour dues, safety and manning rules. The calculations of tonnage are complex because they have had 574 years to be messed with by lawyers, tax evaders, judges, and lawmakers. Good luck figuring it out.

On the Tallyho even the humble wedge has to be a Woodmeisters tour de force !

Wow! The mast wedges and “chunky” teak 😂 (Leo’s words) winch pedestals are true masterpieces!

I have immensely enjoyed this project for over 5 years. Thanks, Leo, and friends, for taking us on this amazing journey.

"Hi. My name is Leo and I'm a boat builder, a sailor, and a fucking legend."

WOW.... what a momentous day on this epic journey. Congratulations to you and all the crew, you have done an amazing job while educating and entertaining us over the last few years. You are all rock stars. Looking forward to seeing you round the fastnet and maybe visiting us here in County Cork Ireland.👏👏👏👏

Hey Leo! We have just come across your fantastic boat build and it was a lovely surprise to see you chose our Hobbit Stove for Tally Ho, it fits in there so well and we love the tile surround 😁

This boat is looking a million dollars. Those winches are drop dead gorgeous.  Lovely work lads.

Amazing! In awe again of all the skilled crafts people that have worked on Tally Ho!

Bob is absolutely a surpurb shipwright and rigger!

Everybody quiet 🤫 There is a new boat video :)

As a carpenter of 35  Years, I can say these guys skill level is beyond comprehension- great to see

Just jaw-dropping - the skill, knowledge, dedication, and love on this project. This episode was excellent. Thank you.

The intro is back, that makes it even better 😋

Dave Clark the pattern guy deserves some props for that beautiful pattern. It was a mystery right up the end how that was going to work making the mold.

What i find amazing is this museum quality rebuild/ restoration is actually going to be out sailing around the world!   Magnificent design and craftsmanship!!
