Click this pic to full size and you'll see one. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...0093894541gYua UA Very cool photo. If those modern fiberglass things weren't in the way, this could be a pic of 200 years ago. Yes, sometimes I had to wait a while till those damn clorox bottles got out of the way. The catamaran appears to be like a Wharram design, they often have sprit and/or gaff rigs. Did you get a closer shot of it? No, I didn't even notice it till late in the day, as it sailed away. It just happened to be in that shot. You got some GREAT shots, I love the one of Pride reaching by with square sails braced up and a man aloft on the crossjack. Yeah, she's a beaty, eh. BTW, there's 2 guys up there. But who let the barkentine join in a schooner race?!? I don't know, but I'm glad they did. She needs a little paint though. When the wind died, she just sat there, didn't move an inch. As did Norfolk Rebel, the Tugantine. Most of the others drifted. Even when the wind picked up, from the South, she couldn't get going. Finally she moved, but across the bay, not making much VMG at all. Also, Norfolk Rebel started her engines and finally left. Scotty Sure is an bunch of nice looking steel sailboats in the pictures Scotty. You must of been motoring at full speed to get so many good pictures. motoring? what's that? U know. Joe |
