The Christian Radich, intricacy of rigging

Quite by chance, we encountered the Norwegian sailing vessel Christian Radich right after it had docked in port. From what we could tell, a group of people had been undergoing a multi-day sailing experience, for which they received certificates of completion from the captain.

The Christian Radich is a full-rigged, three-masted steel hull with an overall length of 73 meters. It gained worldwide fame when it appeared in the 1958 movie “Windjammer.” To see how beautiful this ship is under sail, please go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Radich

The many lines and angles of the mast and rigging make this so dynamic as well as showing the immense height which is spectacular. I really like your angle of capture Helen. Voted++
