A couple of proper raggies

It looks bigger than it is

The little ones are rigged as brigs; two masted square rigged. Spanker on main mast.

Check Nicholl's Concise Guide front and back covers if you doubt.

Must be fun to sail.


Where can you buy one?

....not really a brigantine schooner like the ones in the thread though is it.

No, I was just pushing the boat out to see who would salute it...

I always thought a yard would make for an easily handled downwind sail. I remember Ewen Southby-Tailyour had one on his Black Velvet a Tradewind 35. I wonder in fact if the yard was easily rigged?

There's been at least two recent threads discussing the practicalities

Nope, no doubts. See post 4.

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.

I've got some pics now from the nice weather the other day.
