As close as the little "barky" can get to the wind, anyhow. You can expect to see more of these, as I have always been a sucker for sailing, even though I don’t do it anymore meself.

    Beautiful indeed. But, being a landlubber, I hear that to drive that thing takes a lot of manpower and sweat.

    Yes, and I suspect it takes more crew working harder today than it did to drive a similar boat a hundred and fifty years ago. Simply because today’s crews are volunteers doing something unusual once a month or so.
