    78 ft brig in the Mediterranean. It's not really an ocean, but some say Mediterranean is part of the Atlantic so I checked the top.

    Guess that puts you up there with the best so far Jonas.
    Hope we hear from a few more shipmates soon.
    I'm sure a few more must have sailing experience.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    I think the Mediterranean meets the qualifications. It's got to be one of the Seven Seas!

    I counted Grace as a very small large sailing vessel, and went with the top one too.

    P.S. We just hopped up the coast from Saint Augustine to the St John's inlet, a mixture of light wind sailing and motoring. The weather was sublime. That evening, we got thumped by a thunderstorm at the dock! It would have been easier on the ocean!
