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”.
January 3, 2026 – TALLY HO – Episode 237: High Winds, Midnight Engine Work, and Storm-Sails – through Central America by Wooden Sailboat
In this video, Leo and his crew transit from Mexico through Nicaragua, where they spend an unusual Christmas. They cross the notorious Papagayo winds, they have to work on the engine in the middle of the night, and they test out our storm sails. Finally, they arrive exhausted in Costa Rica with an amazing downwind sail, and meet up with old friend Patrick!
