Hauling on the Jib sheet
Adventuress is a 133-foot gaff-rigged schooner launched in 1913 in East Boothbay, Maine. She has since been restored, and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. She did some Arctic exploring and later was a pilot ship in San Francisco. She now sails out of Port Townsend as part of Sound Experience. On this trip in the San Juan Islands, we caught some strong wind that whipped up some spray on these folks hauling on the jib sheet with their rumps on deck.. The foresail can be seen furled down as she sped along with the jib and mainsail. (www.soundexp.org).
