EPISODE 246
In this video I get to work repairing Tally Ho’s wooden planks and keel, putting in some new graving pieces and shaping the lead with a power-plane. The painting team prepare the hull while I go on a trip to meet Marit, but rainy season arrives as I return. With tropical thunderstorms blowing through the jungle, applying the paint becomes a real challenge!

I’m on a mission to rebuild a 109-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.
