“It doesn’t belong in a rural residential neighborhood,” Winborn added. “It belongs in a boat marina.”
This is not unreasonable. I want to support the build (and I've made donations in the past) but it sounds to me like the best solution is to put the boat in a situation where the neighbours don't have grounds to complain. I hope it gets sorted.
nice to see happy leo.

Well that was fun.
Can't say I've drunk on the internet with 15000 strangers before.
It was lunchtime for me, so no boozing :-(, on the bright side I don't live that far from the Sequim area, so maybe when the project moves there will be a chance to visit it.

Thats a job and a half. Used to do my mates boat prior to racing to get it as smooth as possible before new paint.
Must be calking next :?, I've watched a few vids on that and wouldnt envy anyone the job on this yacht.
Looking stunning.
I realised the other day that I didn't watch tally ho from the beginning. I started watching it when someone on here recommended it.
The first one I watched was when he went to buy his live oak, episode 19. So I've started again from the beginning. The live oak one is still brilliant. We'll worth watching again. 8 minutes in he reads a book on live oak, his accent is amazing.
Watching the early episodes, I can't believe just how much he did on his own. He's really come a long way.
Brilliant recommendation.
Making 4000 bungs! I love the way he was doing it tho. Very clever.
I actually joined Patreon to support Leo/Tally Ho. Always enjoy a new episode although I'm glad they are finished the planking. Looking forward to the episode where they move the boat.
That's a lot of sanding!
Can't believe he took this project on, on his own. Some of the early videos when he's on his own moving really heavy bits of wood are inspiring.
He and tally ho have come a long way
While incredible to see how long and how much work it's taken to get to this stage, there's still a considerable amount still to be done.The deck planks,fittings on to of those by way of companionways, hatches, systems of bringing light into the saloon,construction of the masts, stepping them(fitting), running gear, standing lines, and internal fit out. Engine, tiller and etc etc etc. In fact taking all thats still to be done it kind of looks like they're only a 1/3 of the way in from completion.
Scary thing is if 4 years is 1/3 done, that could mean he's still got years left to do.
chin up Leo 🙂
As admirable as it is, a backgarden in a domestic setting is not the place for it.
she's a moving
Christ! I'm an emotional wreck!
Wherever you are, it'll feel dustier than it is.
Great episode...I worry that Pancho will be heartbroken
Oooh, new home time.
What a great couple who hosted them all up until now.
Great video, 😊
333k followers now!
Very moving episode (sorry)
Wonderful to see the mutual respect between them all. And what a piece of kit that trailer is, swaying from side to side to avoid the house/trees
Just hope people take heed about the ‘give us space to work’ request
Great episode, what wonderful hosts. Would be great to get Raul involved in building a little tender for Tally Ho and calling it Darlene. Then they know they will sail with Leo. We hear a lot about the worst side of humanity, but this project also highlights the best.
It looks like a nice set up.
birdknapper! got this image of an old couple pinning up "have you seen this bird" posters all around Sequim 😉

apologies! that'll teach me to have an afternoon nap ! 😉 hard ride to the pub
His attention to detail still staggers me.
What happened to the lead keel casting....I don't think I missed then redoing it after the first disastrous attempt, did I?
Nothing yet....
about bloody time!
Regarding the auction from the last video, the dinghy is now listed for sale on craigslist after the winning bidder pulled out - so if you’d like to buy the boat and can pick up locally, please make me an offer!
bit shit when someone bids then doesn't pay on these auctions
Oh good...that's my Sunday breakfast viewing sorted
Dammit, I shouldn’t open this thread as the Thumbnails give to much away. I’m still back at framing,
Knowing that the boat moves, but have yet to get that far
I'm genuinely worried about Pancho....
Pancho died weeks ago.
Just kidding, it's still in the videos from time to time.
Decks! How exciting.
So much work to do though...
Decks! How exciting.
So much work to do though
Is there anything left of the original boat? So far from memory there's only the transom at the stern of the boat that's original. (check out my boating knowledge 🤣)
Is there lots of fixtures and fittings he saved that will go back in or can he re use the wood to make them?
The more I watch the more I think what on earth was he thinking taking on tally ho on his own! Some of the first videos where he is working in his own lifting/moving heavy parts is really impressive.
new vid is up, Pancho makes an appearance
Great vid, especially liked the heavy duty joinery for the Samson posts.
Indeed, quite nice to see just Leo at it this week as well.
I presume his missus has buggered off?
And the guy who set processes and made the assembly benches I thought he was coming back?
Real dedication and I imagine due to that he'd be very single minded and possible hard work! Though you'd need to be
Anyone else twitching while that chainsaw bounced around and he had no safety gear on? 😱
I presume his missus has buggered off?
We’re still on catch up with this, but I’ve been thinking that she’s absent due to covid travel restrictions.
Me and mr B love this, best thing on tv by far. Is there nothing that Leo can’t do? He even grew a new finger, dammit!
[i]I presume his missus has buggered off[/i]
Sadly I wondered the same, it's been very quiet on that front and I'm sure he could have traveled back if he wanted...although it would be pretty tragic if he came back to the UK for a couple of weeks and travel rules changed so he couldn't get back to the boat for a year
I’ve been following this, it’s great. Thanks for posting op 🙂
oops new episode is up (though it's flagged as a live event at the mo)
Seems to be coming together quite well now, and once the decks on it should only be 3 years from completion 😆
I wonder whether Leo ever wishes he had kept the one dollar purchase fee in his pocket...
'keel maestro' 🙂
I love the world sometimes
I hope he's done all the displacement calculations given its entirely rebuilt. Hate to see it launched and just sink because its too heavy.
Hate to see it launched and just sink because its too heavy
She has a displacement of approx 30 tons, and was designed with an external keel of just under 5 tons and an internal (e.g. removable) ballast of 8 tons. Leo stated the old keel was actually closer to 6 tons and is now roughly 8, to allow for less internal ballast. It all depends on the build weight as he says
A ballast ratio of 43% is not excessively high for a yacht of her age so there would be some leeway to settle to her marks
