Leo Goolden moved the 48-foot gaff-rigged cutter *Tally Ho* from a mud berth in Penryn to a winter storage location at Ashley Butler’s boatyard.Watch Navigating the shallow, muddy creek required assistance from a work boat to push the bow and stern, as the vessel’s deep keel repeatedly dug into the bottom, increasing the turning radius and causing the boat to get stuck.3:42 To reach the quay wall before the tide fell, the crew ran a mooring line to a shore-based strong point and used the boat's capstan to haul the hull through the mud.4:06 Once alongside, the stern remained too far from the dock due to a trench created in the mud; Goolden manually excavated the sediment with a shovel during low tide, allowing the stern to be winched flush against the quay as the tide returned.7:23 The boat will remain in the mud for the winter, which provides a stable platform for deck and interior maintenance while preventing marine growth on the hull.11:03
