Bob's Photo of the Day

By WetCoastBob

Schooner & Vintage Tug.

Fabulous gaff-rigged schooner with self tending jib leaving Ganges Harbour. I was hoping they would set sail, but looking at the sail covers it won't be happening soon.

I found it noteworthy seeing this rig on a relatively modern hull. Gaff-rigged schooners are my favourite. You can pack sail on them until the cows come home!

In the day they were the rig for the "America's Cup". An example here.

Best seen Large!
