Default Homer's look

This looks like real sailing

However "breezing up" just does not look right

See what I mean? And breezing up is worth 5X's Catboat.

Looks like the former is a crude watercolor of the latter. But neither
are cat boats as neither are gaff-rigged. Looks like Breezing Up has a
sprit sail and it looks like Homercatboat deleted it and tried to make
it look like a big jib. . . I think you might have gotten either the
pictures or your descriptions backwards as it looks to me like Breezing
Up is more realistically portrayed.
