Yep. Beautiful ship.

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.

hey Doug, I saw this sweet looking small 20' boat the
other day, 2 masts, a long 8' bow sprit and yardarms for
small square sails ( not up when I saw her). I had my hands
full and couldn't get a pic.

The Elissa could make 14 knots under some conditions. Not the fastest,
but not the slowest either.
