Leo Goolden plans to sail the wooden boat Tally Ho from the Pacific Northwest to the United Kingdom to compete in the 2027 Fastnet race.0:04 After testing the rudder and a budget Simrad autopilot, Goolden confirmed that reducing friction in the rudder assembly significantly improved the boat's tracking.1:55 He evaluated four potential routes for the transit: the Northwest Passage, the Panama Canal, Cape Horn, and a westward circumnavigation.5:44 Goolden ruled out Cape Horn and the westward route due to time constraints, noting they would preclude meaningful exploration.6:20 He also rejected the Northwest Passage, citing the risks of navigating a wooden boat through ice, the requirement for hull sheathing, and the desire to avoid the stress of an accelerated refit schedule.10:37 The chosen route involves sailing south along the Pacific coast, transiting the Panama Canal, and crossing the Caribbean toward the Atlantic.12:50 This path allows for seasonal weather planning, potential stopovers in Antigua, and additional time for boat maintenance.13:42
