TALLY HO – Episode 156: Fitting the Solid Teak Cap Rails


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 websitehis 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”.

Leo gets started making Tally Ho’s cap rails – the large teak pieces that curve around the top of the bulwarks. They also get out for a sail on another old British Gaff Cutter, the bulwarks get faired, and Paddy does a dance! We also catch up on progress with the Teak cap rail, and the Bulwarks get their first coat of paint.
