Deal!
While the AH II is certainly the more modern ship, the HW/Eagle does look much sexier!

Don't know when the OPsail is, but there are no journeys planned to the US till April 2012 (the ship's page states no dates after that)

She does look sexy but only from a distance. Like any old lady, underneath all that paint and make-up are some serious wrinkles that just can't be ironed out.


I think April '12 is when OpSail is scheduled. Always a sight to see when the tall ships gather

Don't know when the OPsail is

It runs before the tall ships race, OPapr-jun....TSjul-aug

ANY tall ship is sexy. I love it when they get together.

Ditto I'd love to go on a cruise on one of those lovely boats.

She is beautiful Skybird. I love the dark green paint chosen. Maybe she will ply the waters to the Chesapeake Bay one day. I will see her in person.

See, that's how easy you can rip off us Eurotrash: just add a little bling-bling and we'll buy it!

However the old ship has character, something the new one has to earn first.

Nice ship. It would be cool to sail on her.
