And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
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!
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....
