Just a quick couple pictures of Fishers Hornpipe in the water. Note the genoa jib tied down to the lifelines (no roller furling). The inner stay'sl, which is in a blue sail cover, is what makes her a cutter rig. The main'sl is further aft behind the mast. You can also see the three forward portholes which provide light and ventilation to the v-berth, workshop area, and crew bunks. We are considering painting the hull the original dark blue. The builder Reuel Parker recommends going back to a darker hull color. Below is a picture from the cover of the book The Voyages of Fishers Hornpipe which shows the original blue paint. What do you prefer?
Blue!
