Nope two boats. Could be the Spanish invading I suppose Must have heard that the Victory is top mastless at the moment

Looks like the "little brigs". Some kind of youth sail training outfit I believe.

Surprised that they haven't already done so.
Must admit they looked really good

They look great.
I'm selling this at the moment and was invited on board her to dine at the weekend.
Incredible yacht, a proper little ship but capable of being sailed two handed. Currently being sailed by a couple in their sixties. The owner has spent 5 years restoring her and the quality of work and time spent wouldn't have left much change out of about half a million if she had been put into a yard for a re-fit.
Told swimbo to sell the house and wer'e leaving I've found the boat. She said ok then, which has thrown me a little.

Am I right in thinking she's moored (or was) at Itchen Marine Towage or thereabouts? I've definitely had a good gawp each time I passed by
. Looks even better in that picture.Pete

I wasn't sure how blatant we could be regarding sale of boats. But since I have no interest nor am validating it in any way I guess I can mention that an acquaintance is selling this folkboat.

Yes she was there for a while but arrived in Falmouth last week where she will spend the winter.
Unbelievable attention to detail from the owner for her re-fit. I was staggered.
He used to run a classic yacht restoration yard in the Itchen about 15 years ago.

Oy you lot, this isn't a boat sales thread, it's about little square riggers so clear off

Jonic's one is a square-rigger of sorts though.
Not sure I agree with the "brigantine" label though. It's more of a topsail schooner, although you then need to shoehorn the word "staysail" in somewhere to indicate that there's no gaff foresail. "Topsail staysail schooner" sounds a bit silly, so I can see why they chose the label they did.

Lovely boats - and I have great respect for them - we have enough trouble with two sails - look at the number there!

Well apparently its based on this
She is called Varu and this is her off Tahiti. She featured in a book called "To the great southern sea"
