sailing


A couple of very nice sailing photographs.  The recently launched three log canoe Bufflehead from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, above center, sailing with some of the larger log canoes.  Aren't those sails beautiful.  And below, from Rik, his Pathfinder Vanessa sailing with what looks like a reef or two tucked in the main.  

No sailing for me this weekend, I'm headed to Charm City for some seafood and an O's game.  Can't wait.

Thanks for the post Steve. Yes, Stuart made extra deep reef lines for our regular 20+ knots winds. The second line leaves a perfect patch which, together with jib and mizzen, gives her good sail area and excellent speed. The outriggers/boards on the other picture look awesome...
