Installing the Capstan / hoisting topsails!

Tally ho is such a magnificent boat with all her sails up!

The video we've all been waiting years for, Talle Ho under full sail again just like the old pictures of her. One big step toward being ready to sail the world again.

I've been a powerboat person for 68 years. Today I saw something that puts every single one of those 100's of boats to shame. Just beautiful. WOW nothing matches Tally Ho for workmanship, nothing I've seen in 68 years. Wow!

Leo is no less than a modern genius, in the time-honored disciplines of woodcrafting, boatbuilding, design, outfitting, and general practical problem solving. As I've said before, as a lifelong craftsman myself, I learn something new from every episode. And the footage of Tally Ho under full sail for the first time brought tears of joy. Fact is, I love this project, and the hope it gives me as I head into my eighth decade of life. Cheers, and fair winds! DC

Tally Ho is the nicest piece of custom furniture on the ocean. Calling her just a boat doesn’t do justice. ❤️

Really nice to see all the sails full of wind. She looks beautiful.

The rebuild/restoration of Tally Ho should be added to the national archives of both the USA & the UK....& any other international archive that recognises the importance of the skills & pure endeavour required to achieve this level of craftsmanship, it it a very important archive of information, for future viewers, not simply for boatbuilding enthusiasts, as there are life lessons built into it, for example the positive effects of camaraderie, team work & dedication. Beautifully described & narrated, the level of video editing & content is mind blowing from an amateur, to allow it to be understood by all viewers, regardless of level of technical know how. There are so many inspirational lessons to be learned here.

I ain't gonna lie, I have rewatched the bits where she is sailing 3 times now. GLORIOUS!

I know almost nothing about sailing but the sight of Tally Ho with full sails is sheer beauty in wood and canvas.

I'm sure Keith is smiling while watching you install all his hard work. Your craftmanship on the base is a work of art.

Seeing Tally Ho sailing under a full press of canvas on light airs is one of the most magical things I’ve observed. What a marvel. Well done Leo and crew.

Wow, Leo... The phrase "I'm a boatbuilder and a sailor" does not do justice to the incredible craftsmanship that you and your amazing crew (everyone who has worked on Tally Ho) continually exhibit. Well done sir! An amazing piece of history lives again.

Who knew that even a capstan plinth could be a work of art. As usual, an amazing marriage of meticulous detail and function. A joy to behold!

That boat is just BEAUTIFUL! With all five sails...what a work of marine art! Your years invested in it have yielded something that Albert Strange would be SO proud of. It is a joy to watch!

I never fully appreciated the phrase " does my heart good" until I saw Tally Ho under full sail with her faithful skipper at the tiller. After all these years of talent, determination and charm!

As a woodworker, modest furniture maker, Leo and Company have taught me the greatest wood craftsmen are boat builders. I'm happy to say I've been with this Tally Ho odyssey from the beginning and the reward is to see Tally Ho glide on the waves. What a beauty!

It's incredible. Every piece of wood on Tally Ho, no matter how mundane it's function, is a work of art.

I can't believe I've been following this for seven years, while I've slid into my dotage, waiting for the sight of Tally Ho with all the laundry out. Beautiful.

A beautiful piece of history restored and alive again. Everyone who has been involved should feel so proud of being a part of this historical time. Thankyou for keeping me entertained and captivated for all these years

As a sailor myself I must admit that is the most elegant sail configuration that I have seen in a long time. Also that masterpiece does not need a motor. It will do fine in any point of sail. Congrats Leo and your crew.
