Default The Texas Tall Ship Elissa takes first place in her division.

You think Red Cloud could beat her?

Maybe when I extend her to 62 ft and add another mast.


Nah, all you need to do is add some topmasts to the ones you have now.
Add tops'ls, t'gallants, and royals; you could beat Elissa! And if
not, think how much fun it would be climbing aloft to your new
yardarms.

Biggest disadvantage in modern rigs IMHO, you can't swing mutineers &
pirates from the yardarm. Swinging them from a carbon fiber spinnaker
pole just ain't the same.
