Charming approach to a brick-built sailing boat. But did nobody at LEGO realize they made it look like the boat is sailing backwards in this picture?
Probably sailing backwards because there’s no rudder. Also the anchor is perfectly amidships.
Is that a 4×3 brick in the sail, or more likely just a panel?
