Sailing under command of the current owner, August 1997.  These images are somewhat fuzzy due to the fact that they were captured from a video tape that was made to promote an antique and wooden boat festival, hence the lettering superimposed over the sails on the last picture.  The diagonal wrinkle in the jib is due to the camberspar tube in the pocket in the jib.  And yes, there is reverse headstay sag due to this spar.  Camberspar (tm) jibs are self-tacking. The last picture clearly shows how small this 29' ketch really is.  Of course any larger and she would be too large to comfortably single hand or do maintanence on.  Any smaller and she would be too small to be really comfortable in.
