    An absolute must watch episode as we get to meet Leo s hosts and get some insight into that relationship. I have great respect for Leo. He is just a good person.

      That was most excellent.
      The human interest story was fantastic.
      Now with the boat inside and totally out of the weather, things should go smoothly.
      I do wonder how long it'll take Leo to finish and launch her.
      Typically, once the hull it complete, It is said that you are 1/3 done with the build.
      I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

        One of the best vids ever Leo. Love the people and I want a girlfriend like Meg. Worth watching these for the music alone, I wouldn’t care if he’s building a boat or not. 1/3 of the way eh, loads more years to come yay.

          Just a little too much of that for me. I'd rather see the volunteers working on the boat than working on motorbikes.

            Fair go - let em have some down time , they’re volunteers after all. Gives a bit more insight into their characters.

              That and there is not a lot of boat work being done while it is being moved. Some insight into their various skills and interests is good.

                That and a very impressive rig with a damned good driver. About an inch clearance from the house eaves, after he was committed.
                Kudos!
                It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

                  Each to their own. There's only so much giggling I can watch. I just skipped forward in the end. I was much more interested in the couple who have hosted the project for 4 years plus, and in the amazing driving that went into getting the boat out without a scratch.

                    Agreed, I can see why they wanted that driver for the job.
                    There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.

                      Leo,

                      I was blown away by your latest video.

                      Thanks so much for including Raul and his lovely wife in your video. What amazing people!

                      Leo, I have to say that when the drone footage of Tally Ho appeared, I got shivers down my spine! The shape of the boat is absolutely beautiful!

                      Keep up the good work!

                      Ralphie

                        I find the cheerfulness and camaraderie ("giggling") of these younger people who are obviously talented and hard working very refreshing.

                          100% agree! They are not professional performers, just eager, talented, hard working folks.

                            Anyone know when Leo's next video is out? It should have been this weekend in the normal course of events.

                              I would imagine that he's spending a lot of time cleaning up the old property, transporting materials and tools to the new place and setting up the new shop. Probably nothing too exciting for video.

                                "There is no new video this week, I'm afraid - I just couldn't get it finished on time. Sorry guys!But moving into the new workshop is going well and it feels great to be joining the wonderful wooden boat community in Port Townsend.

                                This is what Leo put out a few days ago. Looks like he is enjoying his move.
