The restoration of the wooden sailing vessel Tally Ho reaches a critical milestone as the crew prepares for its upcoming launch.0:37 To ensure proper trim and waterline depth, the team casts and installs approximately 1.5 tons of custom-shaped lead ballast into the bilge, fastening the ingots to the frames to prevent shifting in the event of a knockdown.7:37 The crew also applies anti-fouling paint to the hull to prevent marine growth and installs the rudder, securing it with a block to prevent it from lifting out of the gudgeons while underway.8:37 Additional final-stage tasks include carving the boat's name into the transom, rigging the topmast, and mounting the gaff.11:52 While the boat remains unfinished, the team prioritizes the launch to complete necessary work that can only be performed while the vessel is afloat.1:16 The project relies on calculated estimates for ballast weight and distribution to achieve the target waterline.8:09
