Ah yes, dear Alma... sailing qualities rather similar to a brownie
pan, schooner rigged. I had the fortune (or misfortune) of sailing
aboard her when she was commanded by a skipper whose experience
was primarily in racing sloops. Not a happy combination, as driving
a scow schooner hard in a short chop can 'dampen' one's spirits,
and driving a volunteer crew hard tends to make them wonder why
they should bother.

After four decades of sailing, I've found that 'work boats' of all
sizes are often more pleasant in the looking at than in the actual
sailing.
