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.

Joe

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.

Crude? Haa! Simple maybe, but not crude.

Is this crude?

Same anchorage that " Cut the Cheese" is moored.

And no, I did not get the pictures backwards. The motion of the boat
and rudder looks real in the Catboat pic, but no so in the "Breezing
Up" picture.

Joe

Look at the pictures again, Joe. Breezing up has weather helm and the
rudder is trying to correct for it. The first picture that looks like a
watercolor has the rudder centered with no wash coming from it.
