Ah! I see that there is an infernal combustion engine a-work there!

nice ship looking forward too see the ship in delfzijl in 2009 with delfsail

ps where is the music from?

[fletchap63]

It is a lovely ship, pity it's up for sale. Delfsail 2009 looks like a wonderful event, I've never seen more than one ship at a time.

The music is played by a group of Whitby buskers called Freedoms Road, they sell their cd's on the street where they play.

I took a tour of her in September or October 2004 when she was visiting great yarmouth and I was there on holiday...there was a little bald guy who gave a bit of a talk about life at sea in the late 1790s.. very friendly chap and well informed

Ngiyabonga! (IsiZulu: I thank you!). The old gal certainly skedaddles along with those two assisting her.

Jeg ELSKER denne båten!!! xD

I LOVE this boat!!! xD

[barrowbiker88]

worked on her as a crew member for a bit, fantastic boat to sail on

I was wondering how she was making so much speed with only 3 small staysills up, then I saw the propwash. Is she a modern built copy of the era.
