Just how big of an effect did the popularization of the Bermuda sloop have on naval warfare and piracy in the 19th Century?

According to local history here in Bermuda, privateers in 1814, having the advantage of more agile Bermuda sloops, managed to capture 298 American ships in just six months during Bermuda’s time as staging post for amphibious operations during British-American War. At first blush, that makes it seem hugely important in the realm of military technology alone.

From wikipedia:

>The evasive capabilities highly prized by merchantmen also made Bermuda sloops the ship of choice for the pirates themselves, earlier in the 18th century, as well as for smugglers. They often carried sufficient crew out to return with several prizes, and these extra crew were useful both as movable ballast, and in handling the labor-intensive sloops. The shape of the ship enabled Bermudian mariners to excel. The same abilities allowed Bermuda sloops to escape from better-armed privateers and even larger Man-of-war British naval ships which, with their square rigs, could not sail as closely to windward. The ability of the sloop rig in general to sail upwind meant a Bermuda sloop could outrun most other sailing ships by simply turning upwind and leaving its pursuers floundering in its wake

Has anyone seen our old wooden sailing boat Dorcas?

My family used to own a 45ft wooden twin masted boat called Dorcas in the 60-70s, I was just curious if anyone has seen it around and knows what hapened to it?

It was such a nice boat I would be suprised if it had been scraped. It was built by James Adams and sons on the Clyde in Scotland for the Dorcas bed sheet family, the keel was put down in 1934 but they didnt finish the boat till after the war.

It stared life as a gaff rig but was converted to sloop, and it had twin bmc engines.

My father sold it in north Wales to a German man who sailed it stright off to Bermuda, and I think it might have been in Bremerhaven at some point.

It would just be nice to know what happend to it.

Curious about the development of rigging styles

Another post got me looking at Lanteen rigs, and there are tons of vastly different rigs out there. it seems that the sloop (and similar) rigs are by far the most common for both small dinghy’s and large monoculture yachts. I assume it is because they optimize across efficiency, powers, handlings, etc. but we have been sailing for thousands of years. Is there change in sailing styles, materials, or "new technology" that would have suddenly made the sloop rig the dominant choice?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
