Off topic a bit, but there is a great series of photos of Mir roaring along under spinnaker, staysail, full main, mizzen staysail, and mizzen as she neared the finish of the Transpac Race called “the Agony of Mir.” It captures her mainmast going over the side. The last pic of the series is her, after the wreckage is cleared, finishing backwards under mizzen staysail. Brilliant!
