Beautiful Sailing Ships
The Age of Sail is long over, but sailing ships still remain beautiful in their own way. The way the bow breaks over the waves and the ensign flying at the stern, it makes my heart melt.
Who else thinks that sailing ships are beautiful, even when compared to today's yachts? Last edited by CaptainRamius; 11-26-15 at 01:12 AM. |

How to flunk seamanship 101: gravity is not 64 yr old's friend
I'm in the Galley on the laptop as we speak...shop-vaccin' the rain-water outta the bilge and restorin' the teak table. At some of us 'talk the talk' ...and 'sail the sail'... I would say 'walk the walk' but I fell through the open sliding hatch two weeks ago (sober, I swear), hoisting a wind-driven mainsail; The (totally destroyed) galley table which broke my 6' 240lb fall and turned most of me purple left no bones broken (padded life jacket and thick-gauge plastic skullcap for boom-hits) after a trip to the hospital for x-ray'd lacerations, contusions. That's the CA Maritime Academy Golden Bear training ship(my nephew is enrolled) and Mare Island in the background (and occasionally use the marina's really big shopvac...for those really critical tasks.)

Four brave British crews thought: "THIS is an Ugly sight": History's #1 Frigate (as per post 1's French frigate) and still shootn' and (rarely) under her own power! (winds over 5 mph or she won't move but under 15 mph she's too old for more)

I do like the tall ships, I sailed home from douarnenez some years ago when a couple of tallships sailed into a fog bank ahead of us, very eerie when all you can see is the very topsail.
