In this episode I search for - and find - the perfect sailing tender for Tally Ho!

We also meet the crew of a local fishing schooner that delivers their Alaskan Salmon by bicycle, and witness a trawler-yacht be transformed with a spectacular paint job.

Tally Ho’s remarkable new sailing dinghy (EP136)

[caseygroves]

When Tally Ho is launched, it will likely be the most loved boat in the ocean. Everything about it will be nearly perfect and loved by hundreds of thousands of people. So awesome.

[jsyts]

The dinghy should be named "Tally Row"

[R.J._Lewis]

Possibly the most impressive thing about it is that the PT 11 looks completely seamless on video when it is assembled. The craftsmanship is clearly apparent there!

[asakurad]

Of all the aspects of this project, the one that seems not to get enough praise is Leo’s skill as a storyteller. It’s not just that he takes lovely videos of beautiful and interesting bits of a beautiful and interesting boat, it’s also that he weaves all of that into compelling story that would work even if it was all told in prose alone.

[davegrimmer]

I love that you chose a Russel Brown design. He is a great designer and excellent human. And the fact that a little bit of Port Townsend will be on deck is fitting and sweet.

[richardwallinger]

Being an ex dingy sailor I was amazed at how stable the tender dingy was . OK so Leo is no beginner when it comes to handling a sailing dingy. Priceless advert for the Hands on designer . true professionals are usually modest .

[JakDanielz]

That dingy is such a fantastic piece of art and utilization! Love it!

[sgsax]

That is a really slick design. It's clear he put a lot of work and consideration into it. It will be an excellent addition to Tally Ho. Love how you continue to support local shipbuilders and businesses in your efforts. Makes you a good neighbor and a good human being. Thanks for sharing!

[glrider]

Hats off to the painters of Kintore, what a lovely boat. It just seemed so.. "homey"... Absolutely lovely.

[bobwatkins]

I am not exaggerating when I say that the engineering excellence, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that went into the design and construction of the PT11 brought a tear to my eye. Truly inspiring.

[wisedupearly]

Once again I plead with those in the field of public education to consider using these videos as materials for teaching, in schools, what life can provide . Leo continually demonstrates the joy possible by engaging with reality in a rational manner. Whether the task is minor or major, Leo shows his engagement. There is no competition, no winner/losers, just action. His skill does not demean those w/o skill. He is entirely genuine.

[NavidIsANoob]

I hope someone is keeping a list of all the extremely interesting people Leo has met on this journey so far! It's really becoming a treasure trove of wisdom and experiences.

[olavthyvold]

I built a PT 11 and absolutely love it. Its a fantastic dinghy and an absolute joy to sail or row. I had it for about 6 years and the design effort Russel has made to make the dinghy robust has really paid off. Congrats Leo. You have a truly fantastic dinghy for Tally Ho.

[ryanwalters]

The dude building the PT11 is full of stories, information, and life. Could have a whole show around him, certainly.

[MrDangadave]

Port Townsend is now on my list of places to visit in America. Thank you Leo, I probably would not have known about such a gem of a town otherwise.

[davidcrawford]

I have a PT11. It is all the video portrays and more. It rows faster than walking pace and goes upwind like rocket. it is the best!

[aserta]

The thing i love the most about Leo and this channel: every decision is driven by a sound mind, anchored in logic. That original tender would've been lovely to see built, but it does not suit what Tally Ho is now.

[HarryP]

That dingy is a work of genius, and one of the most beautiful pieces of practical art I've seen. The perfect combination of form, function and amazing good looks.

[bertmacdonald]

I`d add a notch or rowlock on the transom so you could skull, for instance when you had to carry long or bulky items that prevent rowing.
I think Russell has done an excellent job with the PT !

[alangilchrist]

Leo, I love the fact that you introduce the local talented individuals that have been involved in facets of the re-build of Tally Ho, and other boats in Port Townsend. Besides highlighting Tally Ho you put a spotlight on some exceptional people and are a true ambassador for the Port. All that and another great video! Thanks Leo!
