I noticed this sailing ship/boat moving slowly along the Bocayna this evening.  It was a bit far away for my camera, so I've cropped and blown up the image as much as I dare.  It did look nice - and level Smiley.

From my intensive (3 mins with Google images) research, I think it was a schooner.

If you see them again John, ask if they need a chief engineer.

A fair bit of experience on a sailing brig called TS Royalist, both as the engineer and as bosun, I had the trip as bosuin stamped in my seaman's book, always raises a few eyebrows!
