why don't you just guess it? saves a lot of needless effort.

Okay, but I can't go next. I thought if I gave enough letters, someone else would get it.

It's a mast usually fitted with a lateen sail i.e. Bonaventura (mizzen)

 

[morgan terror]

not the mizzen. the jigger mast, the fourth mast at the very stern. that's the name it appeared under later on.

That's what I meant to indicate. That it is now the mizzen

 

[morgan terror]

no, it's called the jigger now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_confused.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="icon_confused.gif" /> the mizzen is the one afore of it.

 

[Lazarus]

I dunno looks like the Mizzen is of multiple levels (Main Mizzen, Bonaventure, Jigger, etc.):

[morgan terror]

the first link seems to prove me right, anyway. kinda confusing.

 

[Old Salt]

So who goes? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]

[Old Salt]

[Lazarus]

I won't have the time to manage a contest till later this week. One of you can go.

 

[Old Salt]
