Love tall ships...but I don't think I was cut out to climb rigging/masts to furl and unfurl sails! Fine looking photo.

What a beautiful ship! I would never be able to keep all those halyards and sheets straight. It's all I can do to remember the different kinds of lines are halyards and sheets, let alone which ones do what! Fantastic image.
