| Amazing Grace is a
topsail schooner and sets a square topsail on the foremast
and seven fore and aft
sails: gaff main, gaff topsail, main and fore staysails,
fisherman staysail, and inner and outer jibs. These can be used in
different combinations to suit the wind conditions. The
rigging is complex and logical having evolved over the last
two hundred years. She was originally rigged as a brigantine
and would have carried three square sails; a course,
topsail, and topgallant. We plan on restoring her to this
original rig by adding these three sails soon! |
