I recently watched a couple of early episodes, amazing that he took that on with the expectation he’d need to work to pay for it.
I guess if we want to watch it, there’s a compromise
I think Leo was fully planning to pay for it all, when it was a renovation. I’m sure he’d have built something, but not the boat he has now.
When it became clear it was a full rebuild (compared to talk of saving the centreline & half the planks for example) & that the YouTube support was going to be significant, things moved on.
I have no issues with this, and happily pay for every video he puts up. He’s earned every penny Tally Ho will be worth, employed good people, supported local craftsmen& businesses, and published *hours* or entertainment along the way.
