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”.
May 9, 2026 – TALLY HO – Episode 246: Tropical Boatyard Woodwork – Repairing Planks and Painting the Boat in a Thunderstorm!
In this episode Leo and his crew get to work repairing TALLY HO’s wooden planks and keel, putting in some new graving pieces and shaping the lead with a power-plane. The painting team prepare the hull while Leo goes on a trip to meet Marit, but rainy season arrives as he returns. With tropical thunderstorms blowing through the jungle, applying the paint becomes a real challenge!
