The bosun’s gear on the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry. A nice rig. My only concern would be managing the lanyards. Easy to catch on things while climbing about.
From the Oliver Hazard Perry blog: Being a full time sailor aboard any Tall Ship is a difficult job encompassing an incredible amount of knowledge and tasks. Everything from complex rigging knowledge and how to sail a square rig ship, all the way to woodworking and organization. It’s not an easy job and it goes well beyond the normal 9-5, but most sailors wouldn’t trade it for anything. Here are some of the tools carried around on a day to day basis that make sailors lives easier.
