RE: [bolger] Re: Folding Schooner and Light Schooner
I had a Light Schooner (back then it was called “Scooner”). As Bolger said, he piled on the canvas. Fast of the wind, but it needed several people to keep it upright in a breeze—not “seaworthy” in the normal sense. The “His and Her Schooner”, with its more modest sail plan and retractable keel might be a better choice.
