this is an image of one of two wood built replicas of working schooners built by hand, operated and maintained by the city of Biloxi.
this one is the "glenn l. swetman"

everything is done by hand, no high tech lines, winches, etc.
I could enjoy a boat drink or two whilst sailing along under the effort of others on it pretty well. It's a bit beyond my Hobie 14 level of sailing skill.

it's not so much about skill as it is harnessing the wind and having a good time....going no where in particular....
