Top Comments of this video!! :3
I am an avid sailor. It has always amazed how many non-sailor I meet that find out I'm a sailor and the first thing they want to ask me is if I'm keeping tabs on Tally Ho?
I'm hoping this channel keeps going long enough to infect all those people with the joy of sailing the ocean.
Congratulations a thousand time. I hope to see you out there some day.

Leo…my husband is a 55 year old carpenter in England who has been reduced to a blubbering wreck of a man after watching this video. He raved about you so much all those years ago that I finally gave in and started watching your adventure as well. Needless to say that I also got hooked! 😂 From someone who gets extreme sea sickness even on a boating lake, I would just like to thank you, and all the crew / volunteers over the years who have educated and entertained us both, for taking us on the best ride of our lives and for showing us all that humans can be wonderful when we put our minds to it. Cheers to everyone around the world sharing this moment ❤

I’m from a landlocked country, get sea sick in a merry-go-round and never stepped foot in a workshop. Found this channel during peak covid, while in lockdown and a bit depressed. It was so inspiring seeing a man with a vision, surrounded by an incredible team working together to create something as beautiful as this boat. Seeing her launched makes me surprisingly emotional and I want to watch all the episodes that I missed over the years. Thanks for uploading this journey and save sailing!

27 y.o. from Italy - Been watching Tally Ho silently for years, never wrote a single word here; even thought I'm not a super boat fan I always couldn't wait to see new episodes during the weekend and yes, a tear dropped as Tally Ho touched the water.
Leo and all you guys are amazing, thanks for these emotions.

As a 74-year-old retired scientist, I thoroughly enjoyed every one of your videos and learned a lot as well about boat building. More than anything I admire your leadership in assembling and coordinating a very diverse and talented team members to make it all happen. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND ALL THE CREW.

I've been a Patreon supporter from the start and am tearing up again re-watching the launch. Leo, you are a boat builder, and a sailor, and a hell of a story teller. Nobody else is as capable or more deserving of the future that you and the rest of us have built.
My brother was a fan and before he died he and I would watch together. He would use the word "stunning" a dozen times every episode, and he thanked you for finally teaching him how to sharpen a chisel. Your positive influence carries further than you'll ever know.
I'll be sailing my dinghy on Lake Champlain in Vermont this summer inspired by you. Cheers! fair winds and years more stories of friends and adventures.

The first person I thought about when seeing the subject line was Darlene. What a wonderful tribute to her Leo by dedicating the boat to her. I cried tears of joy when Tally Ho was launched. What a wonderful project with so many talented people. Godspeed Tally Ho! May she be bless in all her adventures!

I got the significance of the wreath the moment I saw it. I presume it's made from branches of the conifers around the original location of the boat, at Raul and Darlene's place.
A lovely tribute.
What a bag of mixed emotions the crew must be feeling right now and it's no wonder Leo was speechless; the look on his face was enough to convey how he was feeling.
Also, did I spot Leo's parents in among the melee?
Well done to you all

Being the 2,555th comment, I don't expect this to be read, but I never thought I would get as emotional as I am know. It is a sweet moment, with a bit of sadness mixed in. Sweet because I have been to Sequim once to donate some things, and to Port Townsend once to donate about 400 pounds of the lead used as ballast. The last time I was there I told Leo I'd see him in 2 1/2 years, which comes up this October. It was that stretch of time , previously, that I had been in Sequim. To see Tally Ho in the water was something I've wanted to see for a long time. The sadness comes from the fact that due my age and health issues, and Leo sailing around the world, I'll probably never get to visit him and the boat again. To Leo and his amazing crew, well done.

I live in Bonham, Texas. I know nothing about boats. I have watched every single episode. Every one. This is an incredible project and I cant say thank you enough to Leo and all involved for the countless hours they have put in to this project. This has been an honor to watch and has by far been better than anything a person could watch on TV. Simply the best of the best. Leo thank you brother. If you ever sail that thing to some weird Texas port (do we even have those here?) I will be there waiting to shake your hand and buy you and the crew beers. Godspeed friends.

Have watched Tally Ho's re-birth from day one and marvelled at the skill and attention to detail lavished by Leo and his many, many helpers. As a fellow Englishman I feel proud that a boat originally conceived and built in England and ending up in America as a rotten hulk, has been reborn using those same skills and crafts. To me the whole project is a metaphor for the founding of America by groups of settlers from many nations who set sail all those centuries ago in simple wooden sailing ships.

Why did I just spend six years watching a man build a boat? I don’t care about boats, dislike sailing, and wasn’t super interested in woodworking. I think I understand now. It’s because Leo is such a masterful and effortless teacher. He taught me to love boats, to love fine woodworking, to appreciate sailing. Thank you, Leo.
