Those were my miss-perceptions, too. Debunking perceptions and assumptions with knowledge can be painful. I remembered the <a href="http://www.cga.edu/display.aspx?id=2558"<Coast Guard Academy's</a> sailing ship and looked it up. The picture shows 3 masts and many sails. So, I guess I'm going to say, "Lesson learned." I really wanted to agree with you, roachmeistercom. Those were my miss-perceptions, too.
