Open House 2023 Sunday 10th September, 9am - 1pm

All time-slots are now booked, but if you’d like to attend the open house, please come between 9am and 1pm and there will be a queue for people who were not able to book a slot!

We are located in the Port Townsend Boatyard (the exact location is shown on the booking page).

What to expect;

When you arrive just before your allocated time, you will be guided up some steps onto a mezzanine, where you will be able to see Tally Ho’s deck for a short time. Then you will pass into the woodworking shop where some of the crew will be answering questions, before exiting.

We are anticipating a lot of people, so we have to limit viewing time on the mezzanine to try to ensure eveybody gets to see Tally Ho’s deck. After you have passed through the workshop you are welcome to spend more time in the big shed looking at the Tally Ho from below.

Please be respectful of other businesses in the boatyard, and keep out of the roads and access areas.

Be aware that there could be a wait, even if you have booked a slot. Bring food, water, sunscreen etc if you need it.

There is no fee, but feel free to give donations to the project or tips to the crew if you feel like it.

There will be no parking in the boatyard itself - we recommend parking across the main road in the Safeway parking lot and making a short walk from there.

Our open house event coincides with the final day of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival (which I highly recommend).

The unofficial home on Lemmy for the YT channel Sampson Boat Company, which documents rebuilding Tally Ho, a beautiful wooden boat originally built in 1910.

Starring the Duchess of Desire.

From Leo:

I’m on a mission to rebuild a 1910 English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel – but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now rebuilding her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK.
