1. The Caprails look so good … the deck is gorgeous … I can just imagine walking over it and feeling how strong and well built it is … the day Tally Ho sets out on it's Maiden Voyage will be one great episode and with all of her sails filled with the wind will be a sight to see ….❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 … ps … i wish I could be own her when this happens … a dream come true … 😊

2. It seems I'm the tiny overlap of Aurora Tech AND Sampson Boat Co followers.

3. Any issues with thermal expansion or contraction of dyneema?

4. Can we get a super-edit of every time Leo has said "a lot of work" throughout the entire project?

5. Really enjoyed the milling of the material for the mast. I wonder what it would look like if you took all the wood used for this project and stacked it up (before cutting and planing and sanding…just the raw boards). Lots of wood! Also, I really like when something that is being built/rebuilt traditionally, like Tally-Ho, uses modern materials where it makes sense to do so. Dyneema for the rig makes so much sense. It's cool that you can even use more traditional techniques to install and finish the new material too!

6. Gaff rig ., enough said,. But a good choice

7. You need a deadline. Like step and race the next week..That was often a driving factor!

8. Thanks very much

9. The boat is just turning out beautiful. Very impressive 👍

10. I don't understand why galvanized wire should be difficult to find.

11. Tally Ho is the perfect boat. Just perfect!

12. They called my wooden boat in Stepnica (PL) a "furniture". Your´s is a wooden Skulpture !!

13. Austinetic stainless steel is susceptible to a form of corrosion called chloride stress cracking. The metal has to be in tension (like standing rigging fittings) and has to be in contact with chloride ions (typically found in abundance in sea water). The chloride contamination would be universal in a wire rope application, with the cracking not showing on the surface, and with the strands of the wire rope allowing the chloride contamination to wick into the interior of the wire. Individual strands would eventually fail, reducing the overall tensile strength of the rope and can lead to catastrophic failure of the piece. This type of corrosion likes high temperatures (>60C) but will occur at lower temperatures at a slower rate.

14. looking good!

15. Use of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene rope as standing rigging makes sense, and the traditional serving of the line does appear to mitigate the potential aging and wear vulnerabilities of the material. Dyneema is the trade name of this product as used on Tally Ho.
    Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is very surface slick, so it doesn't like knots. One the one hand, a knot will slip under load and on the other, it is really hard to get a knot out of the stuff. Although noted as a strength of the material, the material does not stretch more than 4% before it parts, so being able to assess the condition of the rigging under heavy loads that may compromise the rope is difficult by visual means.
    It should be possible to over build the standing rigging to withstand a greater than worst possible case with ease, the only obstacle being the cost per linear foot of the appropriate rope diameter and stranding. Hopefully, that is what has been done on the design of the standing rigging on Tally Ho.
    While this application is nowhere nearly as critical as the design and use of materials was in the failed Titan submersible, it is still based on the newest wonder stuff. It appears that the rig will be good for 10 years at least, but beyond that is well past the history of this material in shipboard use. Just sayin'.

16. Leo… have you a lot of work to do? You never mentioned it. Seriously a beautiful boat you are building.

17. Leo, as much as I like interios joinery, to a sailor the mast is super interesting. Can you do more on it, like a walktrough of every foot and every fitting, please?!

18. This project NEVER ceases to amaze me! Even the milled lumber is beautiful…

19. Dyneema is cool stuff

20. You got the corrosion mechanisms correct. Good Job.
