When he gets the bill for the casting and machining it's going to take a fair lump out of his cruising budget, expect a begging video shortly.

An excellent workshop and the working museum and a fine craftsman and engineer, it's provided quite a lot of interesting viewing for me.

Very cool to see the boat sailing. I can imagine the buzz after all that effort, nice to see the other gaff rigged boat in the frame as well.

Big long keel boats are heavy on the helm especially to change direction ontheBrito, Channel cutter es a couple of turns round the tiller with a rope add it easier to hang on

Been watching the work progress over a number of years, I have to be honest, the craftsmanship that has gone into her is astounding, she is a simple boat but beautifully crafted. Hope to sail out to meet her one day.

Metal tiller...would have thought a beautiful laminated timber one would be better. Surprised by that choice.

I think the original idea was for a simple boat but, as his YT income grew, he added a fair bit of complexity - a hybrid engine, HUGE chart plotter, etc. I absolutely don't blame him; I'd have done the same.

Tally Ho might even increase the footfall at SIBS should they choose to bring her over....
Can't imagine it will be this year though

It is not a plotter like an MFD. It is PC based software running on a computer, with a large monitor. Very likely quite low cost, compared to say, the equivalent Raymarine glass bridge.
IIRC, he said it is Time Zero, one of these packages TIMEZERO | Marine Navigation Software

Can the trim tab be used to reduce the weight on the helm?

It's a good job that Leo is only paying for the materials because if he had that work done professionally he would be looking at significantly more than £20,000

I reckon he might be about $3-5m in on the project by now. Just a guesstimate, I have no knowledge of the actual finances.

You mean all those that have opened their wallets to finance his dream and future lifestyle are $3-5m in
