Hi! My name's Leo, and I'm a boatbuilder and a sailor.
TALLY HO is a historic wooden sailboat that I bought for $1 and rebuilt with the help of an incredible community.
Now I’m sailing her back from the North Pacific to the UK, where she was first built in 1910.
Our goal is to arrive in time for the 2027 Fastnet Race - which TALLY HO won 100 years before.
An incredible community.
Rebuilding TALLY HO took seven years of blood, sweat, and tears... and an amazing group of people came together to make it possible.
Friends, volunteers, and skilled craftspeople all became part of the story, and the rebuild was funded by the community that grew around the videos.
People remain at the heart of the TALLY HO videos - the crew on board, the characters we meet along the way, and the viewers whose generosity makes it possible to maintain the boat and make the videos.
This is just the beginning.
Since I found TALLY HO as a wreck in the Pacific Northwest, the dream has always been to sail her back to the Fastnet Race - and we still have a long way to go!
This voyage spans 14,000 miles of changing climates, cultures, and challenges - and if we can make it to the start line, the Fastnet Race itself will be another huge test.
After that? Who knows - but whatever happens, I hope to keep documenting the adventure!
