    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

      Grayhound. Delivers beer and wine “smugglers runs”. You can be on it for 4-5 day trips about £600. Or week trips for £1300. Uk and Brittany. Its a new boat.

          Not so new anymore. Original owners sold her some years back to a couple of Swedes. Friend of mine worked as crew last season. Broke the bowsprit on the way out to the Azores and had to cancel that voyage.

            So are the upper square sails topsails, topgallants, skysails? Is there a different name for them on these rigs?

                      wait, wait, wait!

                      you actually have boat related 'stuff' to add to the forum?

                      well, da-um.

                      and bummer about the aborted trip.

                              Just so.
                              The lower topsails are from the front, Petit Hunier, Grand Hunier and Hunier de Tape Cul
                              Above them are the Petit Perroquet, and Grande Perroquet.
                              It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.
