SCAM ALERT! - There are multiple fake YouTube accounts pretending to be me (same picture and almost the same name) and replying to people's comments here. They will try to get you to message them on an app called Telegram, where they will ask you for money in one way or another.
However convincing they may be, I never use Telegram, and I'll never ask you for money!
I've tried to shut them down multiple times, but they just make new accounts. Be warned!

I'll be turning 93 years old on June the 8th, and to see Tally-Ho sail is the best Birthday present I have got. Good Luck & God Bless!

The smile on your face as your lady spread her wings and caught wind for the first time in forever...

[gregzoller]

The “hat rescue” was actually an important exercise. Same basic maneuver to turn around and pick up a person who has fallen overboard, so its good to know how the boat handles that under sail.

When I started watching this, I was a student and the reason why I was drawn to this channel was to learn woodmaking skills. Believe it or not Leo I use the skills I've learnt on this channel to help launch rockets to space. Pretty emotional watching you actually sail this. Today I am a rocket scientist.

[keithpreston]

The smile on Leo's face was priceless. Congratulations for successfully saving this wonderful boat and thank you for posting.

This channel always leaves me in awe and not just because this is expert craftsmanship. I still cannot believe that in the 21st century someone cared enough to spend 7 years and an unfathomable amount of money to preserve something that was almost lost. None of us were alive to watch that boat cross the finish at the Fastnet race. Without Leo, no one would have gotten to see Tally Ho sail again. It's a very significant and sacred honor to be able to watch this boat sail, if only on YouTube. Thank you so much for providing this experience to all of us fans! This crew of shipwrights and volunteers has done something so inspirational and put me in awe of what a group of good folks can do for history and the ancient art of ship building.

I see, Leo can’t stop smiling. What a joy.

[philippegillet]

Leo, 7 years ago you said : ''Should I embark on something really very stupid and try to save this boat?'' ( épisode 1 ) What courage, what generosity, what work! Today we can cry with joy.
Respect !

All the drawings, the moving, the legal troubles, the videos, the templating, the mechanical aligning, the tree sourcing, the laser aligning, the wood steaming, the cutting, the carving, the planing, the sanding, the caulking, the weird sealing goos, the lines, the lead, the brass, the bronze, the cottons, the tars, the deep holes, the huge bolts, the varnish, the sanding, the cabinetry, the bulkheads, the furniture, the electronics, the wiring, the three types of "water", the outlets and inlets, the rudder, the lanyards, the sheets, the stays, the shrouds, the rings, the cockpit, the tiller, the bowsprit, the english sails, the american sails, the personal losses, the energy of the shipyard community, the energy of the yt community and one charismatic macaw and you created magic Leo and the gang. It is a beautiful boat and a great community. Long may it thrive. Oh, and the $1. Congratulations!

[BruceBoschek]

I thought it strange that something so beautiful brings tears to my eyes, but I realized that it is knowing how a large group of strangers that are talented and dedicated can actually create something that beautiful. After watching 7 years of videos seeing her under sail is difficult for me to get my head around, too. Here is a wish of gratitude and congratulation to everyone who made this happen, and to Leo for making his dream come true.

[hazbutler]

Watching his skill as a shipwright, it was easy to forget that Leo is a highly accomplished sailor who has captained vessels all over the world. Sailing is something he has essentially done little to none of in the last several years, so to repress that urge for the sake of building his own boat only exemplifies how monumentous this moment really is.

[abdool]

Very nice to see Tally Ho under sail outside of an antique photograph.

[jayminor]

Wow! 69 year old sailor with tears in my eyes. She is truly beautiful to behold. First sail and a man over board drill already accomplished.

[dropkickdrones]

Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face watching this beauty sailing!

[chiefkalpana]

At 12:26 I got full body chills. “Hey, we’re sailing.” I am in awe of Leo’s determination and steadfastness in saving Tally Ho. The number of talented people who have worked on the boat is truly awe inspiring.

[FondelMikeRotch]

Whenever there is two boats on the water, it’s ALWAYS a race.
Lol.
Looks great guys!

[zsolthajdu]

My partner never understood why I watch wooden boat buliding if I bulid cars out of metal. I told her just watch when all that superb work comes into fruit and it will sail majestically into the open sea.
Sadly I cannot show her this video any more as she passed two weeks ago. But I think she understood after all, and she was just mocking me out of love.

[rainmakir]

7 years ago today I welcomed my daughter Anne Marie into this world. Since that fateful week in the delivery room, the two of us have watched your meticulous craftsmanship and techniques, cultivating curiosity and helping me teach her tool names. It has been a wonderful gift. Today Annie watched this segment with me and gives you a big smile and thumbs up at some remarkable pluck! Three cheers for Tally Ho and it’s crew!

[JeffGeerling]

This is honestly two years earlier than I expected. So happy to see this boat sailing on the water! Hope the propeller issues don't set things back too much.

It'll look even more beautiful as more of the cloth is installed ❤
