Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Quill, I think ye be needin to contact Lynn at the Grays Harbour Historical Society. She be the one who schedules all the sails for the Lady and HC. Ye can reach her at 1-800-200-Lady. Talking to her crew does little good with the limited time a person has to crew. The day I sailed with her, the Lady was under command of a "guest" captain (dressed in modern garb). It was clear he wasn't as well versed as his first mate (who was wearing a HMS Surprise tshirt with a Amistad jacket) who in turn wasn't as well versed as the Bosun (only one in pirate garb). It be best to talk directly to Lynn. Good luck in the communications department. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 The unanswered question is do they want us or not? That's our point of confusion. It's really beginning to look like not. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastie04 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 all other ships sudden look like tug boats by comparison Speaking of which...

Coastie04 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The boat pictured is the Norfolk Rebel. She's classified as a "tugantine." I've seen other pictures of her actually flying a spinnaker!!! It's really one of the most unusual boats I've ever heard of (though unfortunately I've yet to see her myself). Apparently, she is a working tug and fishing vessel. The sails have saved her money in fuel, and even added power when towing on occasion. If my memory serves me correctly, she often saves up to 30% of her fuel consumption with her auxiliary sails.

Isabella Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Oh, Great Lottery Gods, send your great white numbered ping pong balls and your great Red Bonus Ball onto my ticket!. She's beautiful! It would give me reason to visit my sister for long stretches at a time if I has money to buy her. I love that she's unusual. It means we would be a fitted pair. :) I'd probably do a Pirate cruise on her. *grins* Yo Ho Boy-os hoist the rigging, put yer backs into it! They do a cool enactment of what it was like to live on the MayFlower, would be neat to do a Pirate style one. *grins* Best friends dad was a tub boat man. He was as hairy as he was scary!

Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 She be quite unusual. I can't help but wonder if it be such a great idea for sails on a tug, why aren't there more just like her? She is definitely a must see in person. Where is she based out of? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Isabella Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I think it's a interesting idea. My best friend's dad the guy who is as hairy as he is scary, used to tug all up and down the CA Coast, sometimes down to Mexico. Sails would have been a nice change from the chugging of a moter, me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
