Did anyone see the opening sequence of this season's Survivor?
The schooner was so heavily laden it was hobby horsing so
badly I would not have been suprised if someone was pitched
overboard.
She has an overall length of 85 feet, a beam of 16 feet, draft 8.5,
and displaces 60 tons. I'm guess it is 65' on deck. It tops out
at 9 knots according to one article--that seems quite slow for a
vessel its LWL.
