Recently, I saw this schooner anchored outside the port of Kawaihae. It’s been a couple of years since I last saw it (here). The vessel is used for sail training and research and is operated by the Sea Education Association.
The top photo was taken on a bright, sunny morning, and the other two, the afternoon before.

We keep a similar vessel here, for similar reasons. Given how far we’ve come in sailing, I find it a bit risky.

They might look old-fashioned, but the boat and its equipment is first rate I would bet. It’s probably safer on there than driving into town!

A good looking ship. Don’t think I would be able to sail, I’d get tangled in the rigging for sure

I’d have jumped at the chance to sail on a boat like that in my younger days. Not so much now.
