110 yrs ago they planted a tree and cared for all this time to become a mast for a sailboat that people would build somewhere sometime...Lets all take the time to thank them, and all who are continuing the tradition. ❤️

I'm re-watching this video and I just heard and saw something that I missed the first time through. At time index, about 1:58, they talk about that the tree for this mast was planted in 1903 for the sole purpose of being a Mast on a ship. The thought that there are trees planted and grown for over 100 years to be a Mast on a ship, knowing that the person who planted it would be dead by the time it gets harvested, is absolutely mind boggling to me. The fact that there are forests, trees, foresters with pedigree's kept on trees for over 100 years is really amazing. The thought and dedication to a particular object for over 100 years and the people and company dedicated to it for that soul purpose has just left me with a profound respect and bewilderment of the dedication to the craft and art of ship building. Thank you Leo for sharing this part of shipbuilding with us in this video. I makes me wonder what else are we or have we missed, that the general public has no clue exists. Keep up the good work Leo, I always look fwd to your video. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

The history of that tree is an integral part of the boats history now. Its this sort of historical detail that has gone by the wayside in modern life. I remember reading about old English gardens where the oaks would be planned 500 years ahead, bushes would be planted around the sapling for the first 200 years in order to keep the branches high. That would include maybe 5 different replanting of bushes that have a different average height in order to get the right branch height on the oak. Now days we cant see past next year or maybe 5 years ahead. Its why its important to keep these traditions alive.

So true. Only I don't think folks really even see a year in advance in today's disposable world. It's all about instant gratification now. Projects that have an end date of two or three years out are seldom found now, let alone a hundred or more years out like planting a tree to be used as a mast. Nothing but respect for guys like Leo and Luke.

to be fair, that's a measure of the comfort of modern life, AND the modern processes of building. Once you build steel boats, all the time it takes to build wooden ones and growing your timber become a lost art. And too, ship building has been all about economics since forever. It's rare to build them just to sail them, and even this shipwright admits without his benefactor, this one and the next would be impossible. I wish there were more benefactors to put seed money behind keeping impractical or just lost mechanical knowledge in use ( say like steam engine locomotives and ships) . We're one comet hit or Sun emp away from living day to day again and not enjoying it much. Heh.

That's not entirely correct. Modern forestry techniques still allow for old growth trees as well as younger, production type trees. There are still many companies that specialise in the maintenence and growing of large, mature trees for specialist applications such as this. n fact, that part of the industry is increasing.

France has been doing it forever and the forestry business around Oak there is massive. Another Country is New Zealand where exotics have been planted and farmed since the 1930's. South Africa also has huge tree farms. They are a very long term investment but provide stable incomes for Nations who have enough foresight to do it. Unlike Indonesia, PNG and a lot of South American nations whose cut and clear mentality is costing future generations .

The NZ forestry industry could hardly be described as thinking long term. Thousands of hectares of clones the fastest growing tree under local conditions; Pinus radiata (Monterey Pine) planted in monoculture with a harvest age of 30 years. The soil is becoming poorer and poorer under these trees which have an acidifying effect on the soils. Only recently are plantations being made of trees that grow slower and thus produce more enduring timber of character. The timber is exported in logs or chips, so little added value given to the primary product that must be heavily treated with chemicals to give it any reasonable structural life. The trees are felled en masse leaving exposed hillsides to erode in following periods of heavy rain.

The worlds oldest surviving Clipper ship is in the process of being preserved to be the centerpiece of a maratime precinct after being to Adelaide on a barge from Scotland where it was slowly rotting away. She is made of Wood but has Iron frames, and was consructed in 1864 making her older than the CuttySark. The website is at www.cityofadelaide.org.au Cheers Eric

Wonderful video! There is something about seeing a wooden boat being restored or built new that is like watching an artist paint or sculpt. It is not the same as with steel or glass although there are some beautiful classic style boats and ships out there of these materials. But they seem to only gain life when the wood is added to them on the trim and interior. Maybe it is that wood has texture and color and shows its life in all of its parts cut from the tree. I don't know but I do love these videos.

At 6:15 Luke Powell begins to describe Project Management. The profession of figuring out the order in which each component must be installed into the finished product. Many components are themselves complex projects which need their own Project Management. Even something as "simple" as Stonehenge required Project Management. We *know* that they ate cattle from Lincolnshire, 200 miles away. How did they order, pay for, and move those cattle? How did they get them on-site for slaughter when needed? How do you plan the cooking for the large number of people moving the larger stones. If there were 200 men moving a stone, you need 600 eggs, 50 loaves of bread, and 10 hog bellies (bacon), every single morning. Those men needed PowerFood to do that work. Yet everything I read skips this part, and speaks of them as simple primitive people.

Leo with regard to "crash jibes" is that particular hazard why some cruising yachts I have seen have a sort of supportive frame under the boom near the stern? In my youth I saw some yachts with a sort of lateral travelling block acting on the boom from below via lines so apart from controlling the set of the mainsail is it also some form of restraint which can be applied to the boom when running with the wind a bit like a spinnaker pole does for that particular sail? Or is the structure primarily a rest for supporting and securing a large boom with some kinds of rigging when not under sail?

Fantastic project with very honourable aims, saving traditional boat building skills for future generations. Pellew is already a tremendously beautiful boat, I cannot wait to see her finished, fitted out and on the water. When I left the Royal Navy in 1991 as a marine engineering mechanic & living in Cornwall with aspirations to become a traditional boat builder & repairer, I approached several boat yards & builders to learn the craft from the ground up, the overwhelming response at every door was "Cornish jobs for Cornishmen" , the only job offer I got almost led to the yard downing tools! Needless to say the offer was quickly withdrawn. I sincerely hope that attitude has changed now for the sake of saving the skills and passing them on. Subsequently I sold my home, left Cornwall and returned to the home counties and unfulfilling work ever since, I sometimes wonder about how different life might have been if I'd have managed to get a toe in the door with someone like Luke and the satisfaction this kind work brings. Watching Tally Ho evolving is giving thousands the opportunity to vicariously enjoy and take immense satisfaction from your hawkish attention to detail and the magnificent job you're doing on her rebuild. Bravo Zulu!! 👍

Hi, I'm from Oz, and will try to get in touch before long. I used to sail little skiffs, but what you are doing has a special level of knowledge. I am preparing material on Noah's Ark, a (largely) wooden ship 500 feet long, which was constructed (carbon dated wood) about 4,500 years ago. Its remains, and they are very substantial, are in three places in the same approximate vicinity in eastern Turkey, and it had a sharp bow, a rounded stern and was constructed with a high degree of skill, in every detail. It is a vast project. The outer hull now petrified wood, at 6000 ft, is evidently made of cross laminated and glued solid timber about 5 layers thick. The bilge strakes are fixed to the ribs with advanced metal rivets of large size, composed of 8 metals in alloy, laboratory tested as titanium, aluminium, manganese, iron and four others. I would be keen to get advice from yourself as an expert or anyone you could recommend, as to the correct names for the parts, the most well preserved of which are in the solid ice cap in large quantity in the NE slope of 14,500 ft on Ararat itself. Much of this exposed by searchers can be viewed online. I suspect it had sail propulsion available, and it evidently used dragging sea anchors to keep the bow into the waves. These are there too. There are a lot of signs of prior occupation by animals of various sorts including straw, ropes and hitching rails. You probably had an ancestor or three on board. .

PS. It has/had a lead (?) keel for stability, which is still there, suggesting sail/sails, but not in the large relative proportions as a sloop.

My dad worked on a friend of his boat back in the late 80's. It was big but not that big. She was named the Tecumseh and was a 1914 schooner 63 feet long with a 12 foot beam. This video brought back some good memories. My dad is still around but his friend died quite a while ago. They never finished the Tecumseh but she was close. I wonder what happened to that boat and if she ever sailed again. Nice video I'll be keeping an eye on your channel thanks

Had a friend, carpenter, who worked on the rebuilding of Windsor Castle after the big fire in the late 80s . The builders and architects worried over sourcing the oak timbers needed until someone pointed out the oak groves planted in the grounds the year the castle was built! 400 years of timber grown for just that reason!
