  This is exactly the kind of video that is the reason I have been following the channel for 7 years.

  One hundred percent, you are a boatbuilder and a sailor.

  I once thought that the reconstruction of TallyHo  would be the purpose of these videos, but now realise that was only the preliminary . Actually sailing this wonderful vessel is providing the most  amazing  immersive videography. Well done  Leo, and thank you.

  I am in awe.<br>You do the work of three, cope with a &quot;code brown&quot; situation dressed in a lifejacket and nothing else, remanufacture parts and still have time to video it and edit the lot for a post.<br>And above all, remain smiling.<br>Bless you Leo, you&apos;re an amazing human being.

  For anyone who has been more than 4 days from any shore and found themselves having to change a sail that is flown from a bowsprit, or as Leo found, having to clear up after an accidental gybe at 2am, then they will know what Leo was going though on Tally Ho, all alone, with only his will power and stamina.<br><br>This is sailing. &nbsp;This is what is needed and this is what gets done.<br><br>Day after day ….. until Tally Ho sees Land Ho!

  In the midst of it all. &nbsp; &nbsp; Again the man produces some of the best sailing footage possible. &nbsp;Alone… &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hats off Leo!!! Ohh and those waves at the end -camera makes em look small 😂

  That little slap by mother nature when you say you&apos;re in control at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dghqFQISO7Y&amp;t=980">16:20</a> gave me a chuckle. &nbsp;In as much control as you can be.

  Man this is what I&apos;ve been missing from La Vagabonde and other sailing YouTube channels - actual sailing. &nbsp; Appreciate the struggle and seeing Tally Ho heeling over crashing through waves. &nbsp;Beautiful

  Mate. That boat is not designed to be sailed single handed. You are a dead set legend.

  The passion to rebuild the boat, the years of labour, the friendships , the volunteers , all the people that one way or another helped to bring Tally Ho to life must be so proud of the work you did. It is amazing to see such a dream come true. I&apos;m a simple viewer and I can&apos;t be more happy to see such an achievement. hats off.
