Sailing on The JADA, the all-wooden sailing boat from 1930s era

It's actually been more than a week since the trip and I can't seem to remember much except that it was fun (like everything else). The JADA is an all-wooden sailing boat built in early 1930s. It was my first trip abroad a sail boat so I was able to see in person how the sails were hosted and the boat navigated via the sails. Really interesting. Brad, I think was the shippie onboard, and I also met a professional photographer who gave some splendid tips on photography.

Some of the pictures that I took while I was abroad the JADA:
