The Historic Cutter Tally Ho
Tally Ho is a gaff-rigged cutter yacht designed by the artist and yacht designer Albert Strange. The 48 ft yacht was built in 1910 at Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex in England. Tally Ho was one of only two yachts from the fifteen starters to complete the 1927 Fastnet Race under heavy conditions. While still based in Southampton until the 1960s, Tally Ho made multiple transatlantic crossings. Later (until 1987) she worked as a fishing boat out of the Port of Brookings Harbor, Oregon. By 2017 she had nearly rotted away, and was in danger of being scrapped. She was sold it to an English boatbuilder to be completely refit. Seven years later, in June 2024, with the restoration nearly complete, Tally Ho sailed in the open water of Port Townsend Bay.
