the Royaliste

Welcome, mate. The few times my feet want dry land, I'm on your western state line, Big Stone Lake. Not there often, tho. Enjoy the site, try the links, and Fair Winds

RR, She's a hard virus to shake, mates. HHere's the fix, from the Royaliste, watchin' ye'r backside http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...moval.tool.html Good luck mates, you'll need it.

Here's one for the wenches, whilst I be cleaning cannon barrels. Tampion-Swab/Plug for muzzle of cannon, letter 'i' dropped when you girls adapted it.

Tallship Royaliste prints from originals available thru me website....

Historically accurate for both Royal Navy and pirates alike tended to be either nothin' for ye'r britches, or marlinspike seamanship with leftover cordage....Officers, well, that's a whole thread in itself, wealthy,or not, ......

Well, three pirates drove 1700 miles each way to sail her this weekend, what's yer holdup??

Here's a couple, and then I gotta put away sails. Barque- Square-rigged ship with 3 masts, and usually a riding sail on the mizzen. Brigantine(Brig)- Square-rigged ship with two masts, rear one taller. Schooner- Fore and aft rigged sails with two masts, both equal or rear larger. Ketch- Two masts, foreward larger, rear mast ahead of rudder post. Yawl- two masts foreward larger, rearward behind rudder post. Cutter- one mast, two or three foresails. Sloop-one mast, one foresail. Crew- Captain, the boss. First mate, next in charge Bosun- calls Sail and change orders on deck. Lines out crew. Not many more officers on a privateer. Zillions more on a Royal Navy rig.

then you really need to be specific as to your expertise. Things like full and by, loose cannon, son of a gun, chock a block, I mean, whattya wanna know exactly??? An Able Bodied Seaman. P.S. No mockery was intended. Seaman's lingo as spoken daily. As a sea captain I'll cut and run, leavin' this to some scholarly bastard to put up the halliard.....
