A Stiff Breeze to Bermuda (Restoring Tally Ho Ep9)

[TheNimshew]

A little info on Adix. One of the 10 largest sailing yachts in the world, steel hull and teak superstructure it was owned by an Australian brewery owner(hence the name?) Sold to a Spanish banker in 1990.( Banking must be a money making business) It's for sale, or was, for $31.5 million. Leo was the 1st officer. No mean feat for someone who's 28 years old. Yes? So, if anyone expresses doubt as to his bona fide and determination to rebuild Tally Ho, think again. Safe as houses.

I think that's the very first, "Hey what'cha doin?" at 3:12 :)

[MM-rrkp]

i believe we are witness to a practical example of the phrase "do something you love and youll never work a day in your life"
Bravo Leo, admire you for the life you lead and the work you do.

[terrulian]

I am astounded by the entire project, from your skills of draftsmanship, seamanship, shipwrightship if that's a word, and the audacity of taking on this massive venture. Together with your excellent skills as narrator and videographer, it is almost incomprehensible that these talents would be located in one brain. I about had to change my underwear when, without assistance, you were raising the boat off its keel.
I don't say these things idly. I've done a circumnavigation, built a small boat, and confess to being an avid consumer of boatbuilding and woodworking videos. Your story is truly remarkable. Best of luck with this project.

I cannot imagine anything more satisfying, or mentally and physically rewarding than to be young, fit and skilled, and a useful member of a well organised and motivated crew on such a beautiful vessel.

Leo, as it turns out you are my land neighbor. I don't have much time but I get laid off every once in a while, I'm a traditionally trained shipwright and would love to check out Tally Ho and possibly lend a hand once in a while.

[svpearlsailacapegeorgesail]

Adix is a beautiful boat! What a contrast though, going from a fully crewed boat to your lone project! You are a brave determined man!

[thecasualcitizen]

You seem young to be as experienced as I perceive you to be. An accomplished builder of wooden boats, and an accomplished sea going sailor, First Officer, navigator. Very impressive.

[austingode]

My father was a naval architect and yacht designer, he did a lot of draughting of the deck layout for Carlos Pedomo the man who had Addix( Jessica ) built in Mallorca

[daleskidmore]

Wow, Adix is beautiful. I am beginning to see that Tally Ho is not just in a good pair of hands, she is in the care of the best she could hope for. Keep on keeping on.

[Tutamunga]

This must be such a wonderful job if you are a keen sailor - sailing someone else’s £30 million boat around the most beautiful places in the world!
As for your project ... truly an inspiration - all the best from Devon UK

[tamar]

Hi Leo, like many people i am re watching tally ho from the start. I can't believe what a task you took on. And the work you did alone at the start is unbelievable. Well done young man 👍

[justaguy]

I hardly ever comment on any you tube video's, But this guy is a true Englishman who's skills and knowledge are great to watch let alone have..

[rogerrearden]

Looking back again at this video remembering you are first and foremost a sailor. Your wood working skills are awesome as your sailing.

[bingbingbongbong]

One of the best video's on You Tube.
Excellent footage, music, mood and editing.
Thank you for sharing your remarkable "journey" !

[woodash]

I liked the quick shot of Orion at around 4:40.

[NSMike]

This is one of my favorite videos on this channel. I come back to watch it every now and then because the sailing is just so fascinating. Can't wait to watch you make videos like this aboard Tally Ho.

[UweBehrendt]

I wish I was 30 years younger and made better choices maybe in my next life, well done thanks

[charles.neuman]

Wow, there's a lot packed into this one episode. Adix is an amazing boat, and she clearly has an amazing crew. What a way to make a few bucks! For some, that passage would be a whole season of a youtube channel. Impressive.

[theblairisstillaround]

As a Bermudian I loved seeing the Island in this episode!
