Sampson Boat Co

I'm on a mission to rebuild a 1910 English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now rebuilding her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK.

Sailing Yabá

Hi! We are Ben & MP and we now own a massive wooden schooner that needs A LOT of work done. Many people told us the boat we chose was doomed, but we refuse to settle on that thought and we are going to do whatever it takes to make this boat a happy sailor again. We are both rookies when it comes to boat ownership and carpentry, so this is going to be a steep learning curve for us which we are ready to embrace. Luckily we found an amazing team of shipwrights that accepted the challenge of bringing Yabá back to life. But we are not only watching them work, besides documenting everything, we...

On this channel we're currently documenting the process and restoration of the historical ship The North Star of Herschel Island. The North Star of Herschel Island is the last surviving Inuvialuit arctic fur trading ship, built in 1935 primarily as a motor vessel to transport arctic fox pelts, she was later modified as a square rigged ship. From 1968 to 1973 she was used for scientific expeditions in the Arctic Sea, she was later used to survey the British Columbia - Alaska border and was at one point commissioned by Cambridge University to search for mermaids in the north. She is a ship full of history and we're proud to be able to restore her and document the process for the world to see.
