EPISODE 197

In this video we sail TALLY HO North, all the way up the inside coast of Vancouver Island, BC. We hoist our Jackyard Topsail for the first time (with a small snag!), we test our Autopilot / Self-steering gear, and we transit some crazy rapids. We also run into some dolphins, say goodbye to some friends, and swim in a glorious lake. Oh… and we also find the "largest burl in the world"!

    When Tally Ho is under sail she is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
  • @genewilliams245
    Great to see Tally Ho under way and living her best life after all the hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship to restore her.
  • @RTJsims
    Leo's editing skills, accrued over years of the build, are paying off big time with the adventure episodes. The production value of these is, impressive.
  • @bigains
    Patrick the happy soul. He is always looking on the bright side. We need more people like him.
  • @IR-nq4qv
    It's unbelievable how good Tally Ho is operating, navigating and handling so far, good luck and Godspeed Tally Ho and all those who sail with her.
  • @abarratt8869
    Several years of patient viewing, Patreon subs, highs, lows, thrills, spills and shaggy hair, and we get Leo stood on a piece of burned wood striking a pose and proclaiming, "Burl". Worth every penny! Fantastic to see Tally Ho in her element! 👍👍

    I still remember when this british guy popped up on my feed back in 2017. He bought a an old sailing boat for the price of $1 that he planned to rebuild. I've watched all the videos and was a patreon back in the beginning. I've enjoyed all of it so thank you very much Leo for bringing us with you on this journey! So happy to see it "finished"! ❤
  • Leo looks so much happier now. I can't imagine the toll that dedicating 6 years of your life and all of your financial resources to a single project while being 9,000 miles from home must take on someone. Cheers to Leo and the crew for making this voyage a reality!
  • @gp89312
    This channel is a feast for the eyes and the soul. Thank you Leo and everyone!
  • @xremming
    I still have a hard time believing the boat is sailing. This is so amazing. Enjoy your offline time, we will be here whenever the next episode will be out!!
  • @bucc5062
    I am blown away at the nature in the background of this video. Between the mountains, the islands, the water...god how I would love to sail around there. Thank you for sharing such beauty with all of us. Seeing Tally Ho lift her skirts and really sail blue water is what I long for next. She's ready for it...are y'all? 🙂
  • @tombieruk
    I don’t know if Leo will see this but can I just say, your YouTube videos are amazing! I’ve been watching since day one and the videos now are worthy of a television channel! The production and music is amazing. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻😊
  • @tossedman
    Just spent the past few months binge watching the whole series. So good to see Tally Ho sailing. Welcome to Canada. Enjoy!
  • @meldert
    Wow! Tally Ho looks absolutely beautiful sailing with the jackyard topsail and all three foresails!
  • @m2autoworks
    I thought I was going to be sad when the building stopped, but this is wonderful. I love it.
  • I imagine it was probably kinda nice having no internet and being disconnected for a bit, yes? Happy to hear of safe journey and good times!
  • @s3b_Leney
    Ayy! I have long looked forward to the day that this channel changes from boatbuilding to sailing! Not that I don't love the boatbuilding, but it marks the completion of this incredible project!!! mind you a wooden boat is never really Finnished...
  • @tomjewett5839
    After binge watching all of the 200 build videos, this has been the longest two weeks I can remember in a long time. 😁😁
  • @toddr2893
    I have been following Leo and his crew from the beginning. Numerous episodes have brought a joyful tear to my eye, including this one. The utter beauty of Tally Ho under full sail is mesmerizing. The amount of effort, planning, coordination and skill that went into this rebuild is something that may never be replicated. It has been an absolute joy to watch and I am glad I could contribute in a small part. Leo, your journey was not easy due to luck, it was because of your skill and talent in all things you touch that made it seem that way. I applaud you young man and am a life long fan. Godspeed and safe voyages ahead. See you next week.
  • Never lose Patrick, such a naturally funny geeza 😂✌️🇬🇧
