How we actually sail Tally Ho - a technical gaff-rig walkthrough

We explain the jib traveller, the difference between stays and shrouds, and the multi-part purchase systems that allow each crew member to multiply their lifting strength by 12 times! At the start of this video we also document the complex customs / immigration procedure that we have to go through when visiting a Central American country by boat, which involves renting a motorbike to get to the relevant offices. Finally, after setting off on a long passage, we discover a serious issue with our Hybrid Motor, and are forced to anchor Tally Ho under sail.
