ExhibitPlus 02 The Shenandoah gets so much wind power into her sails (as a Coast Guard revenue cutter she needed to outspeed her quarry) that the masts are raked backwards; when underway under full sail they become vertical under the power that pushed the bow down. Our day sail was under reefed (partial) sail, and I was able to climb out onto the bowsprit (as here) and up into the rigging to take photos.
