that's actually a schooner. A windjammer has four masts and has an iron or steel hull.

Beautiful.

I've never been sailing before. Viewing this lovely ship makes me want to rectify that, though.

About as close to the real thing as you can get, very authentic, slews through the waves like a wet knife hissing through flames...

I've been to Somes Sound. I like the thick masts with the penants on top and the elaborate rigging. I'd be tangled forever the minute I touched one rope.

A proud ship, the J and E Riggin. I am not sure if the image would be improved much by the entanglement of Deviant photographers!

Heck no, I plan on seeing the replica of Henry Hudson's ship, The Half Moon, in Albany in September..I won't touch that one either...though I would love to sail on it...
