Description
Windeward Bound is a two masted brigantine-rigged vessel based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The vessel is named after Lewis Winde, the builder of an 1848 Boston schooner on which Windeward Bound was modelled. It is constructed almost entirely of Tasmanian eucalypt, huon pine and Oregon pine, recycled from old boats and buildings. The hull is constructed of 5 cm hardwood strip planks, over epoxy-laminated douglas fir frames, spaced 38 cm (15 inches) apart. The stem, sternpost and keel are of epoxy-laminated Tasmanian blue gum and the decks are of huon and New Zealand kauri pines.
Windeward Bound is rigged with four square sails, three headsails, three staysails between the masts, a gaff mainsail and gaff topsail, totalling 12 sails in all.
She is commonly used for training youth (of any age) to sail, offering training and voyages that last from anywhere between an hour or two to many weeks.

This boat's colors are so attractive to watch, incling these charming masts. I wish I could see the sails too... Just love it!!! FL

The light works extremely well in bringing out the power of this ship. Nice work Miroslava.
