Sailing on Lavengro
Kim captains a 1923 schooner Lavengro. We got to go out sailing in some very nice (15-20 N) wind yesterday. What an amazing boat. It’s a ton of really physical work sailing these old boats. I was really impressed that Kim took a bunch of “we don’t know jack about old school boats” and some “we don’t know jack about boats period” crew and managed to get us sailing in pretty difficult conditions with the usual added surprises like things being rigged ass backwards, everything that could get tangled, snagged, caught, undone doing so, etc. Great day though. We were hitting 8 knots on the 63′ schooner pretty regularly and we didn’t even have the jib up.
