Schooner

The traditional songs of the sea continue to be revived through the exuberant performances and recordings of Schooner Fare. But, in the more than three decades the Maine-based group has consistently expanded its musical scope, with repertoire reflecting a lively mixture of folk songs, pop tunes, and original songs including "We the People," "Portland Town," and "Leviathan." Schooner Fare's albums include a winter season tribute, Home for the Holidays, released in 1987, with songs sung in Hebrew, French, German, and Spanish. SchoonerKids, released ten years later, was aimed at the younger set with such tunes as "Bonnie Heeland Laddie," "The Rattlin' Bog," and "A Cat Named Patrick Finnegan." Conceived as a duo of brothers by guitar and banjo players and vocalists Chuck and Steve Romanoff during a backstage picking session, the group was expanded to a trio with the addition of Tom Rowe on electric bass, pennywhistle, and vocals. Performing weekly at the Holy Mackerel in Portland, ME and in folk music coffeehouses throughout the Northeast, Schooner Fare continued to develop their sound. Releasing their debut album, Day of the Clipper, in 1978, Schooner Fare had their first success with their third recording, Alive, released in 1983, which captured the excitement of their concerts. We the People, released two years later, established Schooner Fare as a national touring folk act. Schooner Fare celebrated their tenth anniversary in 1986 with a second live album, The First Ten Years, recorded during performances at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. Classic Schooner Fare, released the following year, featured Schooner Fare's best-known tunes with arrangements by Michael Braz and played with a small orchestra. Although some considered 1990's Signs of Home to be their weakest album, Schooner Fare rebounded with For the Times, released in 1983 and featuring six original tunes including "Too Funky for the Folkies (But Too Folksy for the Time)" and "The Broome o' the Cowdenknowes." Schooner Fare continued their streak with Finnegan's Wake, released in 1995, successfully returning to the traditional repertoire of their earliest shows 20 years earlier. Sadly, after Schooner Fare had been performing and recording as a trio for 29 years, Tom Rowe died of cancer in 2004; the Romanoff brothers decided it would be impossible to replace him, so they continued on as a duo, releasing And Both Shall Row in 2005 and Roots and Wings in 2010.© Craig Harris /TiVo Listen Similar artists My favourites This item has been successfully added / removed from your favorites.

These ships use a lot of sails to distribute the forces, which reduces the stress on the rigging and the masts. Square sails mean double the sail area in comparison to triangular sails.They are quite fast for their size, and they could outrun most sloops and schooners (schooners were relatively a lot heavier). The reason is that tall ships could be a lot longer than sloops, giving them a lot of extra hull speed. Sloops couldn't be as large because there weren't strong enough materials available. Try making a single triangular sail with a sail area of over 500 sq. ft. from linen.So a lot of smaller sails made sense. You could have a large ship with a good maximum hull speed, without your sails ripping apart with every gust of wind.But you need A LOT of sailors to sail a tall ship: about 30 sailors in total to ie. reef down sails and operate the ship. That's really a lot.Tall ships are used nowadays for racing, with the popular tall ship races traveling the world. Every four years I go and check them out when they are at Harlingen (which is very close to where I live).Check out the amazing ships in this video of the tall ship races last year near my hometown. (The event was organized by friends of mine).What is the difference between a schooner and a sloop? A schooner has two masts, whereas the sloop only has one. The schooner carries more sails, with a mainsail on both masts. Also, sloops are usually Bermuda-rigged, whereas schooners are usually gaff-rigged. Most schooners also carry one or two additional headsails, in contrast to the single jib of the sloop.What do you call a two-masted sailboat? A two-masted sailboat is most likely a yawl, ketch, schooner, or brig. To determine which one it is you have to locate the mainmast (the tallest). At the rear: schooner or brig. In front: yawl or ketch. Brigs have a square-rigged foremast, schooners don't. Ketches carry a mainsail on the rear mast; yawls don't.What is a sloop rig? A sloop rig is a sailboat with one mast and two sails: a mainsail and headsail. It's a simple sail plan that handles well and offers good upwind performance. The sloop rig can be sailed shorthanded and is able to sail very close to the wind, making it very popular. Most recreational sailboats use
