Similar boat building skill level to tally ho, thats why i asked

Although anything boat or sail is good for me Im kinda more interested by the sailing adventures than the boat diy. Leo and his Tally Ho rebuild are an exception due to the historical ancient hand construction and his clear explanations and openness with his demonstrations. I think traditional boatbuilders and their students are going to be referring to his films for years to come. Hes done a great service to that and very well done too.

Agreed. It's stunningly informative and well done.
 
the last Morse Code station


Morse code is not quite extinct: The U.S. Navy still teaches it to a few sailors, and in 2017, a British man who had broken his leg on a beach used it to signal for help in the dark with a flashlight.

You still need to be able to read it ( in slow time) to identify aviation beacons.

when i was a boy scout we had a choice, morse or semaphor. i chose semaphor, becuase it was so useful in manhattan (joke*), but also becuase i could see a system in it that i couldn't see in morse.

* on second thought i can easily imagine communicating rooftop to rooftop this way, so you parents wouldn't hear your phone conversations

My first division officer job in the USN was signals division officer. The signalmen are the ones used the semaphore flags you are talking about, among their other duties.

The flags contain a neat language that, once you become familiar with it, is highly useful in ship to ship communication
