Tally Ho - Winches on deck / Woodburner below

----

EPISODE 184

In this episode we start with some tiling around the Woodburner. After lighting the fire, we follow the making of mast wedges, carving in the deck beam, a very fancy engine-room cabinet, and finally the installation of the cockpit winches!

(rebuilding Tally Ho ep184)

[miokti]

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.

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.

As an ex Lewmar technical support engineer I have been on some of the worlds finest yachts, and have to say Tally Ho is right up there with them. Look forward to catching a glimpse if she visits the Hamble or Ocean village. Solid Job everyone.

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

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.

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

[wojtekwesolowski]

Its very nice that there is Polish accent in this project The winches produced by the Polish company WILMEX
Good quality product at a good price for the noble idea of the rebuilting brave Tally Ho .
Regards from Poland .

Leo’s such a class act. I wouldn’t be able to resist snark in the intro - “I tried to make a change, but apparently it’s desperately important that people know that I’m Leo and I’m a boatbuilder and a sailor.”

[william]

Leo, you are getting close to 5 hundred thousand subscribers. I remember the first video of you showing tally Ho in her old home and who ever thought she'd be turned into the thing of beauty you and your craftsmen and women have created. You had a dream and a vision of what you wanted tally ho to become and you have surpassed all expectations. I hope I'm able to be around to see you and tally ho under full sail on the open ocean. 5 hundred thousand people watching this build is pretty mind boggling when you think about it.

[stephenrichmond]

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

[horatiohornblower]

All the people working on Tally Ho are first class tradesmen, but Bob beats them all. He’s the finest shipwright I ever laid my eyes on!

[russellbarnes]

Tonnage admeasurement, in the time that Tally Ho was built, was roughly the same as what the United States was using. In fact, the British began using the Moorsom system of admeasurement in 1854 and in 1865, the US began using a very similar system. Both countries had been using the "Builder's Old Measure" which was rather inaccurate in gauging the ship's tonnage. The Moorsom system was a bit more complicated, but it yielded a calculation of the internal cubic capacity of a given hull and reckoned that 100 cubic feet of internal capacity was one ton. So, if a hull measured 1000 cubic feet of capacity under deck, then it measured 10 tons under deck. The enclosures above deck (cabins) were also measured the same way and their internal capacity was added to under deck tonnage to give gross tonnage. The areas below deck that could not carry cargo (living quarters, gear storage) were measured and that capacity was subtracted from gross tonnage to give net tonnage. The calculation was simple math based on the internal cross section measurements taken of the existing hull on the inside. There were governmental regulations to cover each measurement and how the calculation was done.

I don't know if I speak for the rest, but for me in this instance it is becoming more and more difficult to wait for the next videos of Leo and his crew.  The degree of progress of Tally Ho makes me so anxious to see how that dream continues to grow. It is very difficult to get to the weekend without checking the YouTube update every two minutes to see if the next chapter is already up.  

Congratulations Leo and Crew!  Excellent work!

[waynemills]

I spoke to Bob briefly during a visit last year and he was informative, and genuine as he explained his work to a layperson like me. I actually found the people working on the boat more of a collective expression of the project than Tally Ho herself.

[georgeroy]

Still the best videos on all of YouTube, hands down. I am a live-aboard mariner from the great state of Massachusetts and I have rebuilt my 1976 Silverton 310 convertible. I have watched this series from day one. Still amazed with the consistent dedication to quality workmanship and design. The name Tally-Ho will always be remembered due to Leo's attention to detail and passion for excellence. He has inspired a collective of viewers who, although may know little about sailing, recognized and respect quality in workmanship and perseverance in attaining one's dreams. Hat's off to you, Leo.

[Racerman]

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

[TheMikesylv]

I just realized why Leo has a permanent smile, he’s on the verge of finishing his home, mobile home, a massive marketing billboard that says “look what I can make” oh yeah it’s all paid for too because I have been working my ass off for 8 years (with lots of wonderful help)

[cyrilhudak]

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.

[toddr]

Another fantastic video. It was so nice to see Pancho again. He has been a part of this restoration from day one.
