Find a slip, rig ratlines for Tess and her friends and get an eye patch, cutlass and parrot for yourself. ;)

I've really only heard the word 'yar' used once, by Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story". She said it means speedy and maneuverable. What does it mean to others?

I've heard "yare" as quick and agile.
But Yarr?
"Yarr... Thar be pirates, now..."
(Actually, the definition of Yarr is to growl or snarl like a dog.)

Getting that fisherman (?) to set well will be difficult.

I wonder if that is a proven sail or just someone's idea of one. A fore-mule, perhaps?? :D
We have a 50-footer stored here in the yard that has that schooner rig. Probably too unwieldy for any usefulness. As I recall, the boat has circumnavigated once and done several voyages above the Arctic Circle in the North Atlantic & North Sea, all with a crew of two.
