The ladder leading up to the top deck.	A closeup of the ladder showing the handrails.	A view of the large pully system used to raise the mainsail. Notice the amount of rope required to make it all work.	A view of the windless, used to pull up the anchor. The guy sitting on it looked a little "windless" too!
A yardarm showing how the sail is attached and stowed at port.	A final shot of the rear gunnels that nicely shows the attachement of the rigging.	Hello? Is there anybody down there? What's that bad smell?	The gunnels at midship.
A view of the gunnels near the bow showing the attachment of some of the rigging.	The bow. Notice that they hadn't yet figured out a way to mount the bow sprit in the center of the boat. It's mounted offset from the centerline to accommodate the rigging.	A closeup of the front masthead showing how the rigging is attached.	This picture shows the way in which the hand railing transitions from the main deck to the top deck.
