"Call just enough hands..." doesn't scan as well.

To indulge in a trifle of thread creep on the subject of reefing, I have just read an article in an Aussie magazine called "Windjammer" reviewing a cruise ship called the ROYAL CLIPPER. She is apparently the only five-masted full-rigged ship ever built besides the PREUSSAN, but the resemblence apparently ends there. She is a luxury cruise ship which can carry 200 passengers in great comfort. The editor reprinted parts of the cruise company's press release, largely because the writer was apparently not a sailor and used inaccurate terminology. The editor was not impressed with the ship or the PR guy. The part that caught my attention, however, was the revelation that she has ROLLER REEFING on all sails--the square sails roll up into the yards like window blinds! Shades of Paddy West!
