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”.
April 5th, 2025 – TALLY HO – Episode 215: Dealing with Corrosion / RE-LAUNCHING At Last!
In this episode Leo and his crew attempt to explain Galvanic Corrosion, as Leo needs to add another Zinc Anode to fully protect the bronze propeller.
After more antifouling paint they enjoy some extremely satisfying tape-peeling, and finally they relaunch TALLY HO and do some maneuvering to test how the boat handles with a freely moving rudder.
