Not 'square rigged' schooners
BAY area Schooners: ALMA-built 1891 gaff'd with top sails;MARTHA-built 1907 lower foremast & two ungaff'd boom'd aft-sails=schooner no top'sails on Martha . A schooner w/o topsails is 'bald headed schooner'. Gaff'd schooners, while very esthetic, require dual halyards and much adjusting while underway; modern versions are simpler with single halyards; a serious consideration for old sailors taken to falling through hatchways... The sail gloves (my previous post) are completely shot after two months on just a single-mast sloop rig Catalina.THIS ONE has it all: SV SEASHELL Holland-1920 Gaff rigged, square rigged, and top sails!(5,500 square feet of sail)
