TALLY HO – Episode 236 – Sailing Reality


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 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”.
