The Ides of March...........


the Royaliste

Recommended Posts

I wish I were in CA. I've got a working knowledge of all manner of sailing vessels. The pin rail is easy enough to learn once aboard.

As for the flag, a red background would be very nice. Have you thought of a design along these lines?

Especially since you are not a commercial vessel, and therefore do not have to necessarily worry about offending others.

Coastie :ph34r:

She was bigger and faster when under full sail

With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail

Any excuse to rise a tankard, eh mates? :ph34r:
