That video was a honor to watch!
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.
From wikipedia:
Tally Ho is a gaff-rigged cutter yacht designed by the artist and yacht designer Albert Strange. The 48-foot (15 m) yacht was built at Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex in England and has previously carried the names Betty, Alciope, and Escape. By 2017 the hull had nearly rotted away, and was in danger of being scrapped. Its owners, the Albert Strange Association, sold it to an English boatbuilder to be completely refit. Seven years later, in June 2024, with the restoration nearly complete, Tally Ho sailed in the open water of Port Townsend Bay.
