Re: One insane englishman trying to rebuild the 1910 gaff cutter Tally Ho, in WA. (VI
Just a curiosity, is there an advantage to lifting the boat up off the ballast as opposed to lowering the ballast out from under the boat?Comment

Forgive me if you have already said, but what material are the keel bolts ?'' You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know. ''

There are very few people in this world with both vision and drive. I have been lucky to know some of them.
My hats off to you, your project, and progress!

leo, have you calculated how much of the original timber in the hull you will be able to preserve into the building of the refurbished vessel?Last edited by Bernadette; 10-30-2017, 11:43 PM.Comment

It looks like some considerable renewal will have to take place and I suspect that a renaming ceremony might be appropriate...how about 'Spirit of Tally Ho' ! Joking aside, some WW2 Spitfires have been raised from the dead on the strength of only a makers name plate! No matter what percentage of wood replacement, it will not detract from the marvellous effort and enthusiasm being put into this remarkable restoration. I remain totally impressed by this man called Leo.Comment

Hi Leo, Congratulations with 12.000 subscribers for your YouTube channel. As I wrote on another thread on this forum the films you make are well worth watching and to me much more interesting than for instance Discovery Channel. 12 K subscribers and 60 K views could give you a monthly income. Maybe it is a good idea to make one video to outline the plans you have for the boat. I know you have to take a lot of decisions regarding what materials to use and so on. What are the parts you can re-use? What are the parts you have to build again? Will you be using modern adhesives? Will you stick to the way the vessel was built originally or do you take the liberty to use more modern constructions, like laminating frames? Anyway, whatever the plans are keep up the good work!

By the way, I saw Tally Ho when I was working on a job in Brookings. She is a very, very well built boat. Those Brits can do a good job. I did not go aboard but from what I could see, she is in remarkable shape. She had work done by local marine carpenters in the small town. Their work, not surprisingly, was not as high quality as the original. But it was not awful. My guess is that the hull will be not have to be rebuilt. (I have restored boats that came to be 85% new wood.)
It's going to be a huge job...I hope Leo gets additional help and is showered with dollars. The boat deserves saving.Comment

I believe the planking and keel can be saved.
Wrought iron floors...maybe. Iron hangers yes.
Clamp and shelf, if he laminates frames.
Frames and deck,na uh.Comment
