Tall Ships Youth Trust is to sell one of its brigs

The Tall Ships Youth Trust is to sell one of its brigs and buy four of
the Challenge yachts.

They cite lack of funds and although I have not seen the actual
release they will sail the four yachts in company and call them Tall
Ship Challenge 1 to 4.

This winter they will stick one brig against the wall and take the
other to the Caribbean. The four yachts will winter in the Canaries.


A 'brig' is the term used for a prison. You know like, "Throw the
******* into the brig!" Buck up there, man! Call a spade a spade. It's
a 'brigantine.'
