My apologies that they were already posted. I only looked back to about mid-November and might have missed that discussion. As I said, those inspections were all made as a dockside attraction...

Thanks for the compliments. I spent several years before I joined any Tall Ship (or ever sailed, for that matter) working in maritime museums (Civil War and Jamestown eras), and I have been known to...

This is easy. No, no, and no. An adequate safety margin? I don't believe that there is any such thing. Do I think that certain vessels may be more "prepared" or "seaworthy" to handle battling...

I've had a busy weekend :) Phew.. this one's gonna be a toughy, mostly because of memory. Making the decision to sail depends on decisions by the captain and mate, as well as the reasons for...

I hope you know I am laughing at the absurdity of this line of conversation. Tall Ships America has their classifications, but I can assure you, few Tall ship sailors give a whit. It is a term that...
