  1. That's the J Class K-4, the Endeavor, in the heyday of the America's Cup in the 30's! Those beautiful creations carry over 7,000 sq. feet of canvas. What I'd give for a ride on that. Great choice Cee Dub!

  2. no no. I'll take Quarrel or Crossbow II. That is just wrong! Spinnaker, Jenniker, Genoa, jib and a main. No no no no. Downwind you move, at best, at the speed of the wind. OTOH, with the right cocktail, it could be a cool sail....
