Watch Leo Goolden as he sails the 47’ teak-planked TALLY HO after restoring her to the glorious gaff cutter she was when launched over a hundred years ago in England. This vessel, designed by Albert Strange, was rebuilt in a shed in Boat Haven in Port Townsend, WA and is now out sailing.
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”.

In this video, Leo and his crew sail Tally Ho South, on her longest offshore passage for several decades!
Donald Fraser says:
I have watched the re-build over the years with great interest. Good to see Tally Ho sails so well on her first offshore passage. I’m sure they have the mast chafe issue at hand by this time. Fair winds, crew!
