Thanks to Elizabeth, here’s a photo of what could be perceived as a strangely-articulated four-masted schooner with two fairly short mizzens and a pinked stern.
Here’s another of her photos, both taken in September 2005, of a folkboat* and the Lettie. Anyone know where the folkboat lives or what it’s called?
A good thing about all this spring rain is that it brings us closer to the time all these sails will be adorning again the harbor.
*I stand corrected on this point thanks to Xenon: the nearer sailboat is a knarr, not a folkboat.

Wouldn’t it be cool to get a picture of the RR sailing along the Lettie G? Big green & li’l green.
Nicely spotted on the bridge btw! Fun idea for a photo series, there, too.

But a schooner is never four masted! I thought what made a schooner a schooner is its schooner-rigging, right?

That’s not a folkboat.
