Pretty things, bowsprits. Very practical for moving center of sail effort forward, too. Did I mention they were pretty? We just dropped the hook in a little anchorage with six boats total including us. Four of the six have bowsprits. What a pretty sight it must be. David and I will be taking the dink to go to a movie this evening. I’ll endeavor to take a picture or two of the gaggle of boats with bowsprits. Three ketches and one schooner.
