    black sails

    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    Shamrock V ? I had an afternoon sail on Shamrock V about 1995. She had white sails and a green hull. The deck house looks the same. I believe she has changed owners since then, if it is the same J boat.

      Another thing, Shamrock V had two head sails, one quadrilateral. Things can be changed.

            There are only two colors to paint a boat, black and white, and only a fool would paint a boat black.

            What's not on a boat costs nothing, weighs nothing, and can't break

              Her standing rigging and way she is upgraded to handle those new sail must be something special. it might require a personal inspection.
              Without friends none of this is possible.

                She is a recreation of Endeavor II. Endeavor was launched in 1937, built in steel and built to the maximum J class waterline. She lost to Ranger. Was eventually scrapped in 1968. Hanuman, is modern, built in aluminium, is luxuriously appointed below deck.
