Good grief Mick, this is a very popular topic, how do you do it? 2298 views!

I particularly enjoyed the Russian Square-rigger video - very nicely fimed. It almost makes me want to go to sea again. Captain remided me of Rusell Crowe in Master and Commander.

Have you read the Patrick O'Brien books?
