"John Ingram's ketch Saracen is, in real life, the
remarkable, 80-foot blue-water racer Storm Vogel,
constructed entirely of plywood in 1961. The custom
ketch has won virtually every major ocean race in the
world through the mid'60s. After many years and
several owners, Storm Vogel had wound up in Sydney,
Australia.

another boat," states Miller. "But to get to that
boat, we had to cross the deck of Storm Vogel. And, as

voice, we said, 'No, no not that one, this one' And we
made a deal with its owner." "

Greetings to all

My wife and I just bought the movie Dead Calm, we haven't seen it in
about
ten years now and have gained a great intrest in sailing since then.
We
were wondering what type of boat is in the movie and how big it is.
We are
disagreeing on how big she is.

Thanks for any replies.

I shore will....

You may be required to deck the hulls.

Thank you so much for solving that mystery for us. And the link is much
appreciated as well. We figured if anyone could answer the question for us
it would be someone on this news group. Thank you to all who responded,
even as the discussion devolved into bad (but cute) sailing puns. (But
then, there's no such thing as a good pun, sailing or otherwise.)
Horvath, thanks for trying to answer our question without having seen
the movie. When you are consoling yourself over Bush's embarrassing loss on
November 2, you might pick it up at the video store and try to raise your
spirits with a good sailing thriller. And I am really glad to learn that
the Titanic was not, in fact, a sloop. I had always wondered what a
schooner looked like

You can't face reality, can you?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Riiiight, so I guess the boat in Titanic was "probably a sloop"?


You could say that, in the same way that "Horvath is probably a mammal."

Actually, the Titanic was a schooner.



If you are thinking about her masts then you are mistaken.

A schooner is a fore and aft rigged ship carrying a smaller _sail_ on
the foremast and the main mast stepped nearly amidships or a vessel with
3 or more sail carrying masts.

Or are you saying it was a drinking vessel?
