Grayhound Lugger Sailing

day out sailing in the West Country, a cook lunch and cream tea provided.

It's amazing what you can accomplish as a team . . . a thought passes by that no man should sail single handed . . we shall all strive to work as a team . . . by man I mean mankind.

It must be a beautiful sensation to feel a ship that big sailing under your command

[@rpp9961]

if i was still sailing , i would like a mate like that girl ...!!!

[@KlingonCaptain]

You can't even tell that it was built in 2011/2012. It looks like it's been sailing for a century.

[@Windval]

A real dream boat... Gongrats guys and lady's.

[@axeldurman5224]

just awesome..wow!

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

There's a bit of learning needed by the regular crew, poor ropework, hopefully by now they're more trained.

[@atadoff62]

Congratulations on realizing the dream.

[@taiming71]

Very cool. Was this a company outing or just a group of rando's? Was it the case that you all were press ganged for crew of the good ship Grayhound?

[@thegit8698]

Beautiful

[@thebentley71]

What did it cost to build the Grayhound

[@willymueller3278]

Those blocks at the end of the sail can kill somebody when they start flopping around !

[@984francis]

They are sometimes called widowmakers.

[@Discovery123.]

How big the crew required to operate this boat?

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Why is that woman's face being (unsuccessfully) hidden?

[@thebentley71]

No winches on this sailboat, to help pull the sails up.

[@edmundooliver7584]

is this a schooner

[@AegeanEpiphany]

Guy in the wetsuit's a bit intense

[@MrLawman82]

Would have loved to see some of the sailing instead of focusing so much on the chic (whoever she is). I think the camera operator was crushing a little.

[@nessuno1948]

Worth admiring though.....

[@shi-san8514]

Oo lala Nah but I think the captain called her the first mate so that's probably why

[@carmelpule6954]

Excellent elegant lugger, but seeing captain Markus adjusting the gear-throttle lever with his foot at 1:40, was not so graceful and that captain did not strike a good figure with me. Imagine taking out a beautiful, elegant, majestic young woman all dressed up for the occasion, and instead of caressing her with one's hands, one caresses her with one's foot! Well, it seems that he got his punishment for treating her like that. Attention should be given where and when it is due by any captain, as the engineering will pay him back for his careless actions and attention to details.
