In this video I talk about why I am rebuilding this boat, considering that it would probably be easier to build a new one. I also get some help to take off all the deck planks and demolish the deck beams, and I consider the next stages of work.
I am considering starting a Patreon account. Please let me know if you think this is a good idea. If you haven’t heard of Patreon, you can find out more here
Support the Tally Ho project here
I’m on a mission to rebuild a 107-year old English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel – but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now starting to rebuild her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK.

Rebuilding Tally Ho E11 – Demolishing the Deck / Reasons to Rebuild
Three things a man must have done in his life:
– To father a child,
– Plant a tree.
– Build a house for his loved ones and themselves.
Should not work with the house, he should buy an old wooden sailboat and renovate it, so it comes back where it belongs!
I can not imagine anything more romantic than renovating a wooden sailboat and sailing with it afterwards. Amen.
I completely agree with Leo.

Really enjoying the videos. I think a Patreon account is a great idea. We’d contribute!
