184' three masted schooner ADIX

I guess it is 184' LOD

216 ft must be LWL since I've heard the boat was 248' LOA

Whew that's a lot of rigging! This is going to be a nice contribution to
the Spencer Rigging Co retirement fund I bet!

I found a nice article referring to the sailing of 'Adix.'

I was looking for one on the original Atlantic, which was also a beauty
and fast enough that modern boats have a hard time beating her record...
IIRC she was a Burgess design...

'Atlantic' was designed by Wm. Gardner, not Burgess.

Crew size must have been huge to handle those sails.
