Cool looking boat

Arrrrrrrr


It is a cool boat, but I don't think it's worht $6 million to play
pirate. And I also don't think it's that accurate a reproduction of
any 16th century rig much less a Barbary pirate. For one thing, they
barely had t' gallants much less royals, and for another, they were
lateeners not gaff rigged.
