Hatasoo in 1898 approximately

Picture of Hatasoo believed to be taken in approximately 1898.

I'm lucky to have been given permission by the family of previous owners to use the picture that has been taken over 120 years ago.

Hatasoo 1898, I presume sailing in the waters of the Gare Loch or Loch Long

I find the picture fascinating seeing the rig set up and the way it has changed over the years.  It looks like the bowsprit may have been shortened.

Hatasoo is also a Gunter.  Yet it looks more like a Gaffer, is it just the way that the main is set in this photo and the gaff needs pulling closer to the mast?

When I bought Hatasoo there was not any cover over the cockpit which is something that would be good to reinstate during the restoration.
