As a result, Bryony sails with considerably less heal than her older cousins. Bryony can keep six people busy or can be sailed by one. She is a joy to sail, both for the novice and the expert, offering something for everyone. A gaff-rigged cutter is a sailing vessel with one mast. The main sail has a spar below the sail called a boom and above the sail called a gaff.
Bryony can fly three working sails, the main stays'l, and jib.
In light air, using Bryony's topmast, we can add a tops'l and a jib tops'l. Bryony's rig remains traditional, with only two winches. The lines are hauled with human power and hundreds of years of clever ideas. Captains MacRae and Ellen Wylde MacRae and Ellen Wylde, both Coast Guard-licensed captains, own and operate the cutter Bryony. Both have sailed most of their lives and know the local waters extremely well.
