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”.
May 31st, 2025 – TALLY HO – Episode 219: Maintaining a Wooden Boat in the Dramatic Gulf Islands!
Leo and his crew start this episode by anchoring their dinghy off a rocky island to search for some special wildflowers. They are given a fish, cross paths with Orca Whales, ghost underneath some huge cliffs, and arrive in a secluded anchorage where they tour another wooden boat – a beautiful 1930s Yawl.
Meanwhile, Leo works through the job-list on board TALLY HO – servicing the heater, mounting a vice in the forepeak, and attempting to fix a water pump.
