Hello from Victoria BC. My name is Ryan Karakai, and I have what you might call an obsession with "tall-ships." This is a modern term that refers to large sailing vessels of many different rig types that were used for commercial shipping and Military purposes precluding the rise of the steam engine. There is a little known subculture thriving in North America today, the sail training industry. In the US especially there are many different traditionally rigged vessels that still operate as "sail training" ships. These vessels provide historic education for live aboard trainees and the general public. There is all kinds of variety as to what kind of traditional vessel you would like to sail on. Schooner, Ship, Barque, sloop, ketch, Brig, Brigantine, Barquentine, the list could go on forever. Last year I spent 7 and a half months sailing as a crewmember on two different Brigs. Here are some of my adventures for your enjoyment! Ryan
