That wine run story is cool A.F. Did you manage to dodge the excise men?

I'm building a model of the Jolie Brise.
Picking up lot's of details from this vid.

One big question.

What is that raised disk thingy near the stern?

Had to comment that I forwarded the video link to several friends. Watched the video several times on my big smart TV and learn something new each time I watch it. There are so many details in view and one doesn't catch them all the first time . Great job. Thanks.

That was a great story and great video, very inspirational.
Dropping the pick though, I saw a coastal coal carrier in Black Wattyl Bay in Sydney Harbour do that many years ago. The ship had backed up the harbour, empty, away from the dock and attempted to do a power turn into a following wind. When side on, the wind took the bow of this quite large ship as it was way up in the air. So the Captain dropped the anchor to pin the bow to let the stern swing around to about 45 degrees. The Captain then raised the anchor and powered forward swinging the stern around as aggressively as he could, but in the very narrow bay this huge ship came with in a few feet of cleaning up a whole row of timber carrying barges and some yachts anchored to the shore. It was a truly exhilarating sight. That ship some years later caught fire between Wollongong and Sydney, to end here career as a burnt out rusting hulk.

Sigh…. How fortunate you are to have romanticism and enthusiasm. Having worked boats in my youth, all I recall is the constant hard labourious monotonous work, maintenance, and discomfort of working tubs like this. Being wet and cold, standing 4-hour watches with a skipper screaming at you whilst being wet and cold. Being bullied by asshat 'mates'. Never enough money to actually fix the thing but always bodging it up for another trip. Passengers being sea sick to the point where had to charter choppers to fly them out because they refused to go on. Fridges failed so you had to eat awful food for days on end whilst you drew the short straw and got the bunk next to the gen set. Sigh She is beautiful, as long as some other poor bastard has to work her. For me, there is a reason boats have improved.
