TALLY HO – Episode 221 – A Realistic Day Living Alone On A Wooden Boat


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”.

In this video, after getting up, making tea, and watching the ferry come and go, Leo tries to fix a stuck bow-roller – while the anchor is in use, he’s balancing on a chain over the ocean, and it’s pouring with rain. If you think that sounds silly, you’d be right.
