And also, from Uffa Fox’s “Second Book”, casting a 28 ton lead keel at J Samuel White’s yard - note the four melting vessels:

Good grief can you imagine anyone publishing a book like that today? (Watts and Jurd).

That’s the 1970 edition which I think is the last. I also have a copy of the first, 1947, edition (just “Watts”) which goes into much less detail, presumably because casting a lead keel was a common operation that most yacht builders were used to doing.
Jurd was Technical Manager, having succeeded Watts as Chief Draftsman, at Camper and Nicholson.

Well Tally Ho is now moved.
However the keel still has to be moved, before or after the casting (part or full).
Will it be done at Rauel and Darlines or at Port Townsend or at the foundary he used for the bronze?
Then there is the significant amount of Tally Ho’s original timber’s and equipment at R&D’s which has to be moved /disposed of, a big project in itself. Probably a video in that.
