@randbinak If you are interested I could recommend "The last grain race" by Eric Newby.
He sailed as an apprentice on the Braque "Moshulu" in 1939

i sae the full footage of that at a museum and it was soo amazing what they had to survive through

YARRR.

Fuck that! 200 foot up a mast in 60 foot seas without a safety harness? I'd have given my eye teeth to have stayed on land ;-) But you should read "The Last Grain Race" for an account of what it could be like.

No harness, no life vest, and a small wooden life-boat that would swamp in those waves....

@StaEstonia also solution

@kenyakimbo if you aren't lucky you will loose your teeth there
-
@kenyakimbo Keep your eye and teeth and take part of the Tall Ships Races 2012.

Even in the age of steel hulls and automated sails, it takes a lot of skill, experience and guts to sail the Untamed and succeed.

Those guys were brave!
i would give my eye teeth to be able to go back in time and sail aboard ship like that
