Thanks, John. I'm unable to decipher your salty nautical jargon, but I may have asked a question a couple days ago that you may have just answered. I mused about the possibility that one or more of these masks might typically have a telescoping upper section that could be lowered or raised. I wondered if Christine's schooner's aft mast might have been lowered to accommodate a desired sail configuration. To your knowledge, is it possible? Thanks!

In Paul's photo the Topmasts & Topgallant masts are fitted. In Christine's photo the Topgallant masts are not fitted & Mizzen Topmast is not stepped. In both photos it's the same square-rigged, three-masted hull. http://www.salemweb.com/frndship/ PS: It's not a schooner. Christine's IMG1006 is a schooner.
