The more I know about something, the more I know that I did not know as much as I thought I knew that I knew.
Re: The Tall Ships
Too cool. I've been on a 3 masted tall ship, but those 5 stack boys are something to behold. Thats a lot of canvas aloft!
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!
Re: The Tall Ships
I would love to go for a ride on one of those huge ships. Maybe spend a week on board of one of those 5 mast ships... Maybe one day... if I won the lottery, i buy one for myself and just live onboard and travel perhaps around the globe...

Re: The Tall Ships
You buy, I'll be glad to sail with you, but I sure as heck don't want to pay for the maintenance of those sailsmjsigns wrote:I would love to go for a ride on one of those huge ships.

Re: The Tall Ships
Those tall ships are totally awesome in appearance!

The 60M Brig, Prince William is for sale.

Doesn't say how much, but I'm sure at 8 yrs. old and 1.5 million nautical miles somebody could work out a deal.
Personally though, I'm holding out for a Barquentine. There were a couple in the video. Think I'll outfit 'er with haze gray canvas, deck guns and gun ports.
Okay, the wife is looking at me a little funny because I keep running the video over and over (really cool clip), and jumping around between different pages on the 'net.
I think the two nearly identical ships are part of the Windjammer Barefoot Cruises fleet.

The five-masted ship is the Royal Clipper.

At 439 feet with a 54 foot beam and a mast height of 197 feet, and at 5,000 tons, she might be a little tricky to trailer.
