Every vlog of her I’ve seen , she’s under motor power , be nice to see her sailing with a full rig of sails 😊👍🙄

[@PJWey]

They’d need more than their skeleton crew, a large number of crew to run the rigging I imagine

They only use the motor to enter and leave ports, in order to save time by making approaching, docking and undocking easier, as well as for safety. In the open sea they use sails. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV61moFrqrCebbc

Igual que la Drake-Norris expedition de 1589 la grande y desastrosa armada inglesa que acabó derrotada por los españoles, que cumplieron su venganza 😉

Pregunta a Blas de Lezo o Luis de Córdova y Córdova que jugaron a los bolos con la Royal Navy. Pregunta a Fernando de Gálvez que echó a los ingleses de Estados Unidos y ayudó a la Independencia Norteamericana. Son personajes que no salen en el cine y muy desconocidos.

There is a lot of myth in this, and a simple explanation that is never told in schools. The tide made it impossible to get the English ships out of the port, so they had to wait for the tide to change in order to set sail, and so they continued playing skittles while waiting. Propaganda did the rest.
