EP224. Repairing Tally Ho’s electric drive - was this hybrid system worth it?
🕑 Added 2025-08-02 18:52:01 +0000 UTCIn which I have to repair the hybrid-drive, Marit returns to the boat, and we sail (with topsails!) into the beauty of Desolation Sound.

Also, Leo, this was the most relaxed you’ve been on video since early days. I used to be a homesteader, and I know that these “simple” lifestyles are endless work and have their own complications. So it’s great to see you so relaxed and able to enjoy ride. Really fun to hear a little more from Marit, too!!

I was surprised, that when discussing the capabilities of the hybrid setup, you only mentioned electric drive and motor-driven battery charging. So I’m glad it sounds like you will put out a sail-powered regen video soon! Blessings on all the trip prep!

Hey Leo! I sent you a DM on instagram, I have an old photo of Tally Ho and met an 83 year old who sailed on the boat with the New Zealand owner in 1967. Let me know if you’d like the additional details.
