Very nice! Gotta love all that baggy-wrinkle. First one looks like Lady Washington? Don't recognise the other.

They sail together quite often to stir up business and charters. You can watch them together doing their mock battles here.

Last year we watched them from our boat coming out of Cap Sante into Padilla Bay where they were doing their mock battle. Interesting to watch.

Looks like too much fun, Terry. Sure glad ours are a little easier to sail.

Why that’s the brig Lady Washington.
I crossed her bow in Port Townsend Bay. Could of had my way with her had the canons been charged.

She had attempted to board a State ferry earlier. 2E413B9B-1F65-4E5A-A957-B11C04FA8BA4.jpegB44CD031-CB76-4A0E-8DAD-B4B8BC5D02B9.jpeg

Saw the Lady Washington many, many times on SF Bay, and also in their homeport of Westport, WA on our way up here in 2016.

Terribly large sprit for such a small kite though :)
Beautiful looking rig.

While visiting in Grays Harbor, the Admiral and I enjoyed a "battle cruise" on one of these. Broadsides! Noise and smoke rings! Huge fun!!

In light air the young crew hauling on the sheets and braces worked very very hard as the two vessels maneuvered ponderously to gain advantage on each other.

Try to get this sailing outing onto your personal 'bucket list'...
matter of fact some friends of ours chartered the Lady Washington for an afternoon for their wedding ceremony. Everyone was in period clothing, also.
