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”.
November 8, 2025 – TALLY HO – Episode 232: A Nervous Departure! Starting a Long Voyage, Shorthanded.
In this video, Leo and his crew get ready to leave Ensenada and head South – onwards towards the Panama Canal and their goal of eventually taking part in the Fastnet Race 2027. For this next leg down the coast of Baja California, they have decided to travel with just 2 people on board, and they face some nerves about if they can handle the boat on our own and get enough sleep!
Before they set sail, they get their dinghy back and check out the new paint job, they work on the deck, they rig up a new spinnaker, and they even get out to see some Mexican Wrestling!
