Howdy Marlinspike friends! Or tall ship enthusiasts. Hell, i'll take schooner sailors. Like boats? Like water? Do knot work? Come chat, talk of boats you've been on/want to be on. I sail the Kalmar Nyckel in DE and i'd like to sail the Picton Castle in Canadia.

I saw the Nyckel in Provincetown last week. Do you know her displacement; a friend and I were wondering about how many tons.

Never been on a tall ship before. I sail small boats and have always dreamed of sailing any boat that can carry more than 2 people.

Well the line handling is the same, in theory. Thrice holds the world and all that. No jibs nor booms aboard though and bringing the main course down is a bit of an affair for any first timer(i still have trouble) What state do you live in? I can look about, see if we can find a boat in your area

Hell, the Kalmar is up in Wilmington. Right near the Pa line, less an hour from philly. If you ever want to come down and check it out we'll be down rigging in October(stripping the boat of lines, courses and other stuffs) so we can have her sea worthy for next season. We need all the help we can get. Volunteering is free and you can learn if the boat is a match for you! Getting onto the crew does cost some money though, a little over 120 all told. That's for materials and the like since KN is a non-profit organization

There actually is a lubber's hole, technically, it's filled with line, and the mast. When she's down rigged for maintenance in the season there's room to climb through but most climber's have too much gear on even when down rigged. Oh, yes, it would, sadly she's a pinnance. Light armed merchant. Only 6 pounders for us!

Nothing so severe as OSHA(to my knowledge) but we are all mandated to climb with a fall prevention belt(nylon webbing, around the waist and thighs, heavy D ring mid sternum with Nylon belting attached to carabiner clips.) I'm unsure of the weight on them but know for a fact they can hold 200+ lbs by the nylon alone.

short story
>a ship wrecks a couple miles from a small uninhabited island
>only two of the crew escape the wreckage in a dinghy
>one of them is badly injured
>they set up camp on the island and establish that it's no more than a few square miles of trees and dirt.
>The rations are few and medical supplies expired
>after a couple weeks they run out of rations
>sailor's injury is infected, spends all day suffering his wound.
>In his starved delirium, the uninjured sailor decides to kill his shipmate with a hatchet before the infection poisons his blood and cannibalism will no longer be an option
>He sneaks up behind his shipmate who is sitting by the fire and slays him with the axe
>Experiences a moral crisis at the realization that he destroyed the only thing that preserved his will to live
>Buries his shipmate
>Next morning he gathers a stone into either hand with the intention of walking into the sea and drowning himself
>Stops waist-deep in the water before killing himself
>Sees a ship in the distance
>It's rescue
>They save him
>various unmentioned themes are resolved

I need to know what sort of supplies are found in a dinghy so I can set up a realistic camp and accurate scenario

1800's.
that works to the advantage of the story. His wound gets infected to the point of debilitation, being fed and cared for by his shipmate and they aren't there for longer than a couple weeks.

Been sailing Training Ship Danmark as a student. Few friends from there went on to sail on Picton afterwards as apprentices. Studying Master Mariner now with a guy who's brother held the title of Chief Dane aboard the Picton. Apparantly the ship has strong danish ties, and has a title for the oldest dane aboard.
Hoping to take a trip or two aboard a tall ship as a 3/O once i get my papers.

Ahhhhh....jabuz...this thread is triggering all o' me sea-urgings! Caught the tallship bug in 1990. Went to Denmark to work w this crazy American on his 1928 Baltic Schooner Johanna. Never got to sail her...she was derigged. Meget hyggliet belowdecks. She got repo'd (long story). Sailed also on Hawaiian Chieftain out of Sausolito, CA off and on over ten yrs. Got aboard 'HMS' Rose for filming of 'Master And Commander' in 2002, thdn the Lady Washington for the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Took her down to St. Vincent for three months and back. Went thru Panama Canal on Christmas Day, 2002. Think you can see it on YT. Got to double for Johnny Depp a coupla times. I'm skinny.
Man, there's nothing to compare to a ship under full sail, stu'n'sls flyin', everyone moving as a single organism...I've never been stronger than when aboard. Time to re-up---fuck this rat-race shit!
