druxey Posted July 23, 2016 #2 Posted July 23, 2016 She was in the Welland Canal at the mouth of Lake Ontario a few weeks ago, travelling up to Lake Erie.

Roger Pellett Posted July 23, 2016 #3 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) The difficulties of sailing this large craft with only one sail can only be imagined. There is no way to balance the rig. A high level of seamanship This ship is supposed to visit us in Duluth in August assuming that they can resolve their pilotage issue. It is hard to imagine what expertise a pilot used to piloting foreign diesel engined vessels could apply to this single sailed shallow draft vessel.
