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, now lies in a shed in Boat Haven in Port Townsend, WA.
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”.
November 25th, 2023 – TALLY HO – Episode 173: Sad News.
Back when TALLY HO was just simple videos made by one guy and a boat, he was working out of the shop of a very sweet couple named Darlene and Raoul in Sequim, WA. They’ve made a few appearances over the years, and Leo and his followers have helped them through serious medical issues. These kinds of relationships give the Youtube series a lot of heart in addition to the information and entertainment elements. Leo starts this episode with heartfelt messages from and for Darlene.
“It’s amazing what a boat can do…” Darlene closes with.
David and Margaret Tew says:
RIP Darlene and family. What an amazing gift you’ve created for all of us following and supporting this project.
