One feels, though, that as things went pretty much without a hitch - nororiously difficult to achieve - the defenders were caught napping.<br /><br />Curious about the types of boats you were using, I did a little research. Main because there are boats and boats! I discover that the biggest one, having a gaffsail rather than a lugsail, and with its mast stepped well forward, might be called a gaffsail sloop (even cooler than 'lugger'!). The other sailboats I would call, faute de mieux, cutters, although strictly speaking that's not quite right. But with the single mast stepped slightly abaft of midships, they certainly aren't sloops! <br /><br />The towed boats are of course barges. Now that's a very tasty inshore or riverine flotilla: Barges, cutters and a gun-armed sloop - a sloop of war, withal. I like those swivel guns on the cutters, and all.<br /><br />H'mmm... I can almost see coming up a cutting out expedition, comme ca Horatio Hornblower...Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847642874691038657.post-27847465883174301792012-10-29T21:42:32.470-07:002012-10-29T21:42:32.470-07:00Well done, sir.
