The 65-foot gaff-rigged cutter Tally Ho completed a 1,600-nautical-mile shakedown cruise from Port Townsend, Washington, through the waters of Haida Gwaii and around Vancouver Island.11:33 The nine-week voyage served as a test of the vessel’s systems ahead of a planned transit to the United Kingdom.0:03 During the passage, the crew utilized a two-watch rotation and relied on an autopilot connected to a trim tab for steering.6:59 Post-voyage inspections identified three primary mechanical issues: the gaff saddle is undersized and requires fabrication of a larger unit to prevent mast damage; the capstan’s chain stripper requires a redesign due to structural interference with the gypsy’s mounting bolts; and the steering system exhibits excessive heaviness, potentially caused by slight warping in the purple heart rudder stock.16:25 Additionally, the current tiller pilot on the trim tab lacks the necessary responsiveness, prompting a search for a more capable autopilot unit.19:04 The vessel returned to the Port Townsend boatyard for these repairs and further outfitting.13:16
