Watch Leo Goolden as he brings back the 47’ teak-planked TALLY HO to the glorious gaff cutter she was when launched over a hundred years ago in England. This vessel, designed by Albert Strange, lies under a shed in Sequim, WA, that Leo built next to the shop/apartment he rejuvenated—helped out occasionally by Poncho the parrot and Brian the dog.
The backstories, and there are many, can be found on Leo’s website, his Facebook postings, and on the Albert Strange Association’s TALLY HO pages.
In addition, Leo wrote a piece on TALLY HO for SOUNDINGS Magazine – “Tally Ho, Adventure! The Quest to Put a 1927 Fastnet Winner Back on the High Seas”.

By supporting TALLY HO”s bow and stern, while cutting away her iron floors, Leo gets what remains of the hull to settle down onto her new (and perfectly straight) keel timber. An intriguing procedure that took planning, required common sense, and benefitted from a bit of good luck.

This young woman should have her hair tied back or in a net when working around heavy machinery. If she insists on letting it hang loose, you should NOT include her in the video. This gives a bad impression and sets a poor example to others.
However, this is a very nice segment, and my husband and I are enjoying it.

A few OH&S transgressions in the OCH vids – no jewelry, loose hair or clothes anywhere in a factory/workshop!! Same when racing…..
