Support TALLY HO; http://www.sampsonboat.co.uk/support Become a Patron; http://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco ---- EPISODE 219 We start this episode by anchoring our dinghy off a rocky island to search for some special wildflowers. We are given a fish, cross paths with Orca Whales, ghost underneath some huge cliffs, and arrive in a secluded anchorage where we tour another wooden boat - a beautiful 1930s Yawl. Meanwhile, I work through the job-list on board Tally Ho - servicing the heater, mounting a vice in the forepeak, and attempting to fix a water pump. ??

We also test the autopilot and trim-tab, now that the rudder is swinging freely - and race a friendly Yawl around the Gulf Islands. ??

First I talk about the Tally Ho story - how I started the project and how we rebuilt the boat, including some details that have never been shared before. In the second part of the talk, I discuss the stories that inspired me to start boatbuilding and sailing in the first place, and the importance of risk and adventure in storytelling and life in general. ??

Support TALLY HO; http://www.sampsonboat.co.uk/support Become a Patron; http://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco ---- EPISODE 217 In this episode we talk about various tricks that can help when manoeuvring heavy vessels under power - particularly long-keel, single-screw sailboats like Tally Ho. At the beginning of the episode I find myself losing all my crew, and having to pick up the anchor and move the boat alone. Once I find a sheltered anchorage, I am met by a huge group of seals? shortly followed by a pod of Orcas (killer whales)! The next leg of the journey takes me to a marina where I have to manoeuvre Tally Ho backwards into a really tight berth. I use some tricks to help overcome the prop-walk and get the boat secure. ??

REBUILDING TALLY HO - WATCH FROM THE BEGINNING https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB00JHoTw1TeX82Qw8hoFLRJI89Us_jMw&si=4yX-Zx4wFlNfI0rV ?? I purchased the boat TALLY HO for $1 in 2017 and moved it to a friends house to start work. I didn't know how I would fund the project but luckily my YouTube videos picked up some momentum and people started wanting to get involved. Eventually the whole rebuild process was funded by its online audience - through donations, patrons, volunteers, and many other acts of kindness. I'm so grateful to have been able to facilitate the rebirth of this historic vessel and I'm honoured to now live on board. The next challenge - sail halfway around the world to compete (100 years later) in the same race that she won in 1927. --- To become a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco To donate or support - http://sampsonboat.co.uk/support My Wishlist http://a.co/76y5IZP For sneaky previews of what?s going on in between episodes, follow my FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/sampsonboatco and INSTAGRAM http://www.instagram.com/sampsonboatco.

Years of accumulated tools, timber, and other boatbuilding junk is packed up for storage, sold, or given away. Meanwhile, Bob rigs Ratlines on Tally Ho?s shrouds so that we can quickly and easily climb up into the rig. Finally, after the huge ship saw and my trailer of tools are taken away to be safely stored for the next project, we take advantage of a calm day to leave Port Townsend aboard Tally Ho, headed North. ??
