Title (in English, please):
Roebuck IV
Description (in English, please):
The Roebuck is a late development of the viking ship kite Sverker created in 1996. It uses the same technique with bowtie sails that give in-sail dihedrals and a semi 3D bow that works as a wind sock. The development consists simply of adding more sails. The name Roebuck is derived from the name of the ship that was used by the Englishman William Dampier (“Buccaneer, Explorer, Hydrographer and sometime captain of the ship ROEBUCK in the Royal Navy of King William the Third”) when he pirated the seas in South East Asia and Oceania. By adding a Roman number to the name the number of sails is indicated, e.g. Roebuck IV is a tall ship kite with four sails. Size140 x 278 cm. Built 2018
