Gaffers and Gulls

Gaffers, traditional fore and aft working ships and boats. Coastal traders, sailing barges, fishing vessels and pilot cutters. Gaff rigged they can display the greatest area of sail upon the least number of spars.

And gulls, artists have often included seabirds in their marine paintings where no other life form is evident. They can be added to a composition to enhance movement and give focal highlights.
