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”.
August 24th, 2024 – TALLY HO – Episode 199: Searching for a Metal-Lathe! – Repairs and Mods while Sailing North BC
In this video Leo and his crew continue to sail North, doing some metalworking repairs and modifications on the way (after they luckily come across a metal-lathe!)
They visit the huge abandoned cannery at Namu, and discover layers of history under the detritus of industry. Nick demonstrates how to start the amazing 1941 6-cylinder Gardner diesel engine that powers Argonaut II, before TALLY HO sets sail across the notorious Hecate Strait.
David Miller says:
Tally Ho is a real joy to see underweigh. I really felt the magic of Haida Guai in this video, thankyou so much!
