Beautiful! Looks like you took the pic through a telescope.

Thanks, it was a crazy fish-eye lens. That boom is about 30ft long.

Damn! That's a lot of timber to be swinging around.

Yeah, you should see her with the top mast up!

Would love to! Any reasonably accessible pics on hand?

I'd like to share photos but I don't know how to do that in this post. I may have to start a new post.

I use imgur as a host and you can copy the link and add a hyperlink to it in a comment. But that may be more effort than you want to deal with at the moment. Thanks though.

My favourite of all the wing & wing pics so far! Love the sky. Notice the eye glaring at us midway up the leech of the main?

That's a cool observation, thanks, I hadn't noticed that.

👍 I can’t look at your photo any more without being drawn straight to that amazing eye! 😊

This looks great but with anything other than very smooth sea conditions, WoW can be dangerous in a gaff rig. With even a small roll the top of the mast swings over and boom, you've gybbed and that's how I once almost killed myself on a big schooner.
