Leo Goolden, a boat builder and sailor, presented the seven-year restoration of the 1910 gaff cutter Tally Ho at the Classic Yacht Symposium in Helsinki.0:17 Goolden purchased the vessel in 2017 and rebuilt nearly the entire structure, including the center line, frames, and stringers, using southern live oak milled by Steve Cross.3:28 The project relied on global volunteers and crowdfunding, which Goolden attributes to a character-based storytelling approach that connected with a half-million subscribers.1:02 Tally Ho retains approximately 20% of its original material by weight, including the anchor capstan, mainsheet horse, and lead keel.14:42 Following the restoration, the vessel underwent sea trials in the Pacific Northwest, including an uncharted anchorage in Haida Gwai.15:45 Goolden plans to sail the boat back to the United Kingdom to compete in the 2027 Fastnet Race, marking the centenary of the boat's original victory.26:28 The project demonstrates that structural restoration of classic yachts requires long-term determination, community support, and a willingness to manage significant personal and financial risk.
