In an idle moment (I do have them), I have tried to rig the Puffin
(rotten photo) with all the sails listed in the 1880 spec. I wonder
though whether they would all be up at the same time. It all seems a
bit excessive just to hold the ship steady, or to keep her into the
wind. If they were all up, the ship would be under way surely.
Emergencies only - if the anchor chain breaks?
