Reply To: Lateen rig sailing to windward

[Anonymous]

There is sailing (or was until very recently) a large lateen rig ocean-going feluca called San Guiseppe Due under the British flag. The only reference I can come up with so far is
http://www.altomareblu.com/?tag=ajmone-cat
[an Italian-language site] where there are good pictures as well.
In the past I have met the crew and listened to them extolling the sailing qualities. If they can be found some 20/21st century information will be available [from them].
