Oh my word, would somebody please do a TV series which follows this wonderful boatbuilder? I was once lucky enough to sail for an afternoon under Will Oxley. This gentleman exudes the same humble, confident, complete familiarity with the environment he's in charge of. There aren't many things as enjoyable as watching people of such calibre pursuing their art.

I’m an Aussie sailing currently in Europe’s North Sea and found this channel by accident I think and what an absolute pleasure to hear Aussie accents! I cannot wait to see how this progresses.. 👍. I have a restored 1974 Swan 38 whose layup started the day I was born, and I also know people who had a yacht of the same name as Wyruna... serendipity!

Great Enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to your journey. I am already watching - Salt and tar, Acorn to Arabella, The art of Boat building, Tally Ho, Tips from a Shipwright and The Western Flyer a few more but great to watch something Aussie.

There are few opportunities in life that enable you to preserve family history. To renovate a wooden yacht showing such graceful lines is a sailor's dream. Combining these two aims is laudable. Your shipwright has his priorities clear. This endeavour has all the ingredients to be a storming success.

Great music, beautiful boat and interesting people. Loved the first episode, roll on No.2.

Nice to see a beautiful wooden boat being restored. Very pleased to see how well the Kauri has stood up over 100 years, my boat is NZ Kauri (triple skin cold molded) built in QLD in 2007 so confident she will outlast me by at least twice as long.

Wow, what a project, beautiful still, love the story!

So nice to see a serious restoration. Thank you

Adding this boat to Acorn to Arabella, Tally Ho, Salt and Tar, to my play list...Hope to see a series of regular videos, in the restoration progress....

Great stuff. Looking forward to part 2👍👍

Nice to see another wooden boat being restored. A similar restoration is Bothan Boats - restoring Idler. I do look forward to future parts.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very ambitious project.

What a beutiful boat in its day. Looking forward to seeing it restored.

Great to see an old classic being restored. Looks like a good man in charge and an owner who will grit his teeth and see it through. There are still small lots of kauri available now and then here in NZ, mainly from farm blocks and also from building demolition. The Classic yacht Assn. has some beauties that have been restored and my own 32 footer is a cold moulded kauri built in the 70's, still a spring chicken for a kauri boat. Good luck.

I discovered your beautiful project a few moments ago and look forward to see it evolve. Wyruna and the work to be done are excitingly similar to Lona III that I restored a few years ago. She will make a magnificent gaff boat - no doubt about that! You might hit some harder spots as you progress but these will make the ultimate satisfaction only bigger! I will follow you from now on. Success, and take care!

Wow talented people working on boat . I could listen to him all day . Good luck

You guys are crazy and I love it

Well done everyone on the project keep up the great work -

I "assume" you've all been following the "Tally Ho" restoration here on KZfaq?

VERY EXCITING PROJECT‼️ Good Luck Guys, will be Following Along‼️⛵️. Vinny 🇺🇸

Looks like an exciting project

Good video good music. Looks like the right Shipright. Would love to see more of the actual work and maybe some discussion of the processes. You'll have an enjoyable and beautiful family heirloom when done! I've subscribed!!

Mingus' Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. Nice selection for the background music. Hope to see and hear part 2.

this is great!

Following Tallyho, Acorn to Arabella, Salt & Tar, Odd Life Crafting (plastic boat but a good series), Brupeg (Steel research vessel being crafted in Australia by a couple of KIWIS), Dangar (another Aussie steel trawler but an excellent show. But for something gob smacking, have a look at Sailing YABA. This is a 70 odd foot sailing vessel being rebuilt in South America by a naive couple who bought a worm ridden, rotten yacht but are giving it their best shot. Best to watch it from the start. WYRUNA looks like it will be a great series to follow and an Aussie one at that.

Hi there looking forward to the restoration of your boat Barry here from Melbourne and have a happy new year

Interesting project. I subscribed. The music, alone, is worth the price of admission.

Just subscribed looking forward to seeing the progress... thanks for sharing Cheers

10/10. Grazie Mille!

Progetto interessante! Buon lavoro :)

I have a plastic boat but I would love to have owned a wooden boat but the maintenance frightened me off , good luck with you restoration

Great video guys, very informative and very down to earth. I'm about to start on my own resto so this was a great help and boost.

A great choice of music.

Very interesting!!!!!!!!!

I really wish you luck.....the lesson from Leo & Tally Ho is that the video work is the gateway to appreciating the work..... that that doubles the work. But ‘subscribed’ and along for the journey

Shame the prior owner left her on the dry so long without repairs. All the finessing to return her hull to the original shape is a labor of love. Sure she'll be an amazing showpiece when your through with her. Lovely old sailing rig.

My goodness - that sax!

I too am already watching several boat restoration projects so very interesting. Sub-titles would be a nice addition for those of us with less than perfect hearing and not tuned to the Ozzy accent.

Interesting project, and also can se nice Tumlare in the backround

On board for the rest of the story. Constructive criticism: dialogue is a chore to make out at times, especially in the beginning. Audio loudness is poorly balanced between dialogue and musical interludes ( music choice is stellar).

Extremely interesting

Love what you are doing. I am on a similar journey (much simpler) refitting a carvel boat that my dad built when I was young which was built in Adelaide and being restored and refit in Melbourne. Where is Wyruna being worked on?

Wow!

It's the tree that does it for me !!!

Ferdi is one of Victoria’s best Shipwright. It will an interesting journey.

Get the steambox ready and lets build her back for the waves.❤❤

Teased at 38 seconds, in full at 12:15 - why you seek out boat wrights of Mr Darley's caliber! I have 1939 San Francisco Bay Bear Class sloop. Owned by my grandfather; loved by my father. Wooden boats most definitely a tug on emotions.

Interesting to hear how you approached her shape. It would be interesting to compare the current state to the naval architect's intent through lofting and templates, like what Leo Sampson has done in the restoration of Albert Strange's design for Tally Ho (nee Betty).

“Has she ever gone north, tropical” sounds slightly strange for a mid-European ;-)

I have some new Kauri some been air drying for 5 years some still outside in the field.

São muito bonitos e tem um envolvimento histórico, mas estão sempre húmidos precisam de muita manutenção. Com esse desenho de (casco) faria em fibra.

Unfortunately don’t see any additional videos on the restoration

I think we'd all like to see an update.

Is there a part II to this?

I hope to see some work next time. Talking about work is all well and good, but not as interesting as seeing craftsmen doing their thing.

I’m guessing… the owners sold the boat along with the dream. There appeared friction between them and the initial boat builder bought in. So, I’m guessing the plug was pulled. Anyone know any different?

Any news on part 2 release date? Cheers. Bob

Where is part 2?

Glad to see not only the old folks take on big challenges. Don’t let the “ Fire-Brigade” ( the people who show up with all the cold water to throw on your project.).. if think I exaggerate get in touch with “ Tally Ho “ they can sing a tale of woe. Keep the slave labor I really enjoy the program.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

Did this project come to an end?

I lived on an old steel Dutch barge and it was bloody freezing in England lol

Where's part 2?

no part 2?

I have a great idea about a guy who finds this fantastic but throughly rotten wood sailboat; sees it for what it is, burns it to the ground and says “lets just build a new one, eh?”

Making a copy of the old one to put in

Hay mate - I’ve seen that shipwright - I’ve seen him at the GMC dealer - been lookin at a beautiful new truck - it’s ah beauty mate - big truck mate - cheers !

This should be titled : "Lots of talking with occasional jazz music". At this rate I would consider if you have 20 years left to see it finished. Good luck though.

There s a pub called tally Ho to in England in Devon to

Where’s part 2?

Is it warmer to live on a wooden boat ???

This here the Harvey boat?

What is this Talley Ho copy? No Leo???

Looks like a great project, look forward to following . It, sorry but the music is awful and too loud

This boat was originally built to be a cheap budget boat. I'd burn it instead of attempting to restore it.

she is a she not an it.. nice boat

What an interesting project! I am watching "Tally Ho" and a few ,these videos can be hypnotic but please,please and please again make do with the two bar saxophone interludes,it is loud,it is painful, it is an insult to music,it is an insult to jazz wrong place wrong time for the great Mingus

My Father purchased a wooden sailing dinghy under pressure form his regiment Colonel in 1966 he put it in his garage started pocking it then cut it up and burnt it in his wood burner.

Who's the git in the red jacket? He's pretty rude, just talking over people, and changing conversation direction in the middle of an explanation.

How many more boats to be restored on KZfaq. When must be join your patreon group? How much do you want? This is becoming a real boring topic.

Natator is funny...."could've got a nice new plastic boat that would be more comfortable and sail better....." 😂🤣😂

Videography is good, discussion is interesting, music is too loud, too often, and intrusive. I am having to repeatedly turn the volume down during the sax, and up during the conversation. Of course, I am not a modern jazz fan by any stretch.

I want to see the restoration work going on like leo is doing on Tally ho not a bunch of people yapping on aimlessy with boring middle class dinner music played intermittently. Stop the idle chit chat get the tools out and show that please.

No thx too much talking for me

this is so ugly wheres the restoration? +??
