I recently signd up for a trip on the Europa to the Antarctic Peninsula
for the next austral summer.

I picked this ship over a 'Death Star' liner partially so I could
experience the sailing and the ship. Can anyone recommend where I
could find information on barks, their riggings, theories of operation,
or anything else I should know to help make this more of a hands on
experience?

Help is appreciated

David, you lucky b******!

The Jubilee Sailing Trust publish a useful booklet for a few pounds called
"Square Rig Sailing Simplified", very much based on their barques Lord
Nelson and Tenacious. Contact via website www.jst.org.uk

There are diagrams of the sails of Lord Nelson at
