Here he is at full sail HiFlyer

Looks like a 4-masted schooner with a metal hull. If it is Spanish
Navy, it must be for the same purpose as the American Coast Guard
training true "tall ship", the Eagle, pics attached.

She has indeed a steel hull like The Eagle.
Here a nice little movie of the Juan Sebastian Elcano on youtube.

As you know, Bouler, I'm not a fool and I don't lead with my chin wrt
facts or things I assert. So, I either can be reasonably sure by just
looking often, I can and do do some Googling if my comments might turn
out to be embarrassing if I'm really wrong. Thus, I was Ivory Soap Pure
sure that the Juan is steel-hulled, just as I correctly nailed the same
thing in a number of your reposts for me when I first docked in this here
deep water port.

As for YouTube, never touch the stuff! Most people know I have an
information security background that's pretty extensive and I also have a
MAJOR committment of time and energy to everything digital and techie, so
I already KNOW that YouTube is a really juicy place for the bad guys to
plant nasties in the videos, and do other not-so-nice things such as grap
IPs for future compromise attempts, maybe snag an E-mail addy from them
stupid enough to post in the clear, etc. And, ALL of the dangers are an
order of magnitude higher - maybe 2 orders of magnitude or even more - if
one is running on ANY HTTP system vs. NNTP.

Well I liked the movie with information of the ship.
