Everyone is saying they should reef but I feel like that boat is beyond that and should heave to. But I’m no expert

Why are ships so often painted in storms lol I’d love to see one cruising past a tropical island or through a Norwegian fjord. Still, awesome work OP!

The reef has been discussed. But this is also a ketch and they should balance the sail plan a little better. Just keeping r/sailing alive xD This is superb and way better than what we have hanging in our saloon. Feel free to share more!

Truly it should already be breached with just that huge foresail.
