the crew will be recruited - but i dont think it will be as easy as i anticipated For my sail past i wanted all the mast crew on the yards and a Royal marine band playing, also away from the the land side out of view i wanted the ships boats being pulled along with deck hands scrubbing the side prior to the admirals inspection But with all studding sails set i dont know if this is just a pipe dream or achievable as there will be so much in the way
