Yes but Spirit Yachts arent proper boats. They are just vanity objects and not that attractive to my eye..............

You need to get out more! ….. :encouragement:

Boom barges

They sound interesting, where could I find one? Online or in real life..

I can't find anything much on line but there is plenty of information, plans, and photos in these books:

"Spritsail(sic) Barges of Thames and Medway" Edgar J. March

"Sailing Barges" Frank Carr

"Last of the Sailormen" Bob Roberts

"Mistley Man's log" R.J.Horlock

They were also referred to as barge ketches.
