Hi! I'll also send you an ask and say stay save!! Cause I can't sleep
What's the coolest ship? (I mean as in boat type of ship) And did you ever go to the ocean? (not in a boat way, but if you did, that's very cool)
Thanks!
I personally like traditional gaff riged and topsail schooners the best. They're usually small (compared to other tall ships) and fast and easy to maneuver. I'll be working on a wooden hauled topsail schooner that's a replica of one that was employed by the British navy in the 1700s.
This isn't the one I'll be working on but it's got a similar sail configuration and is probably similar in size. (Although mine is a little shorter and stouter I think. I'm not sure of the specs of this one)
I have been to both the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean (no boats involved) and both were great! I went when I was in California once and I've been to a few different places on the East Coast. I've also seen a few of The Great Lakes which are practically mini oceans themselves. Arguably more dangerous. I was told by an experienced sailor that he had sailed all around the world and the only place that he's actually afraid of sailing in is Lake Superior. I had to chuckle to myself because that's where I learned to swim. (Ik sailing and swimming are two completely different stories but it still made me laugh a little)
