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”.
March 16th, 2024 – TALLY HO – Episode 183: Raising Tally Ho’s topmast (without a crane)
In this episode Leo and his crew raise the topmast – this is an interesting operation because they are raising the top of the spar much higher than any of their hoisting points. Leo explains how it’s done and then they get on with it! After that Bob and Leo climb the rig to take a closer look and install the wind instrument.
