    Holy cow is that your yawl (forgive me if I got that wrong. Afraid I've lost a lot of my knowledge. Otherwise I'd say schooner rigged yawl?)
    Beautiful!

    Sadly, no. But what a great daysailer that would make..

    Sea legs of mine got tested once on a sailboat from Aruba to San Blas near Panama - of which several days were rough seas. The neat thing was with the extra air inhaled at sea is you could sleep 12 hours a day. At least I did, but stepping on land was an out of body experience. An absolute thrill.

    Yawls and Ketchs have a second, aft mast. The yawl's mast is behind the tiller and a ketch's mast is in front of the tiller. Hope this helps.

    I could spend all of the rest of my days in that place....

    I taught sailing to youngsters at the St. Joseph River Yacht Club Junior Foundation way back when. Would love to have a boat of my own again one day. I haven't "shopped" for one in a while, but I love the helm and rigging on a mid-sized Hunters... nice boat that is easily sailed by one person.
