I know very little of sailing vessels. That said, the image of the Charles W. Morgan, part of the article, is quite impressive. Iam curious as to the following. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that every sail carried was rigged except possibly for the upper most sail on the after mast. What speed do you think this vessel might have made with ALL sails rigged given a 15 to 20 knot following wind? Thanks for your attention.
