Challenge 874: All at sea
I spent last weekend in my favourite French town of La Rochelle, visiting the Maritime Museum while I was there. High up in one of the galleries I found this small sailboat suspended, mimicking its behaviour in rough sea.

The sailor here has, curiously, a head and hands made from chicken wire. Can you put this small craft in a more appropriate location?

High res is here.

I find myself completely at a loss as to what to do with this except follow the brief ..... which feels somehow too easy.

Brian thought he should get some practice on the Circumnavigation simulator before tackling the real thing.

I'm right out of ideas on this one. Here's some steam punky stuff using hull and sail. I'll leave Gordon to decide whether it gets a certificate of airworthiness.

David,
I would be more than happy to recommend someone else to test fly it

Oh Gordon! So little faith .........


BTW I love the idea of rehearsing circumnavigation. That's right off the wall.

Some tricky sailing here. My own photo from Venice and of the man.

Michael P, Ha Ha, I don't think that's Gordon, My sailor has a much quieter sail than your chap, love those waves.

Re: Challenge 874: All at sea
Wow! Coming fast and furious this week. And all of them good.

Interesting to see the different positioning of boat and navigator. I think we can guess who knows the basics of sailing and who doesn't.

Thanks vibeke, I live very close to this lake and it frequently provides some great sunsets.
