My crew in tow and my bicorn hat snuggly on my head, I felt a sense of joy and eagerness as my eyes fell on a vessel of such grace and beauty as I had ever seen; her mainmast rising high into the cool Autumn air; her shrouds and stays pulled tightly, securing the mizzen and main; her hull sitting as comfortably in the water as an English gentleman in his favourite armchair. She was a true lady, a boat of such grace and beauty, of curves and sweeping lines, the other boats nearby paled in comparison to her greatness….”

    I liked Ian’s prose, but Sancerre is a sloop, and not a yawl or a ketch. Therefore, she does not have a mizzen mast. She is still a graceful vessel; and I think Ian captured the essence of an enchanting day at sea!
