If you haven't seen this story, it is worth it IMHO. It is 22", so pour a good one and enjoy. CBC | Land and Sea

Thanks. I wish they had not included Dan Moreland,he excites my bile.

[tigerregis]

Do not become bilious, my friend, it does not become you.

[Hwyl]

OK I'll back off

[tigerregis]

That bile portion was meant in jest, the friendly part I meant sincerely.

You posted this while I was on the road. Got home last night. Woke up early and fixed myself a good Irish Coffee and sat and watched this in my boxers. Thanks for posting it. Schooners rule!

[Bobcat]

Thanks! That was great

For efficiency and quick reduction of sail I'd prefer a wishbone cutter rigged ketch. (with a gaff/gunter rig on the mizzen)

Proved wrong expensively time and again.

I think the term 'catastrophic failure' was invented for those things.
Never heard of a gaff or gunter rig on a mizzen with a wishbone main,I just can't see how the rigs would stay up without a standing backstay... but they don't tend to anyway .
