A schooner ( /#712;sku˘°n#601;r/) is a type of sailing vessel characterized by the use of fore-and-aft sails on two or more masts with the forward mast being no taller than the rear masts.

An example from Sierra Leone, 1956:  If Stuart Little had to make a sailboat out of stuff he scrounged out of the laundry basket, it might look a bit like this. |

The Lightweight Sharpie is a new class for me...never read about them before. Looks like a handful to sail (well).
Interesting stamp. |

fifia - Nice one from French Polynesia; note that it was designed by French artist Pierrette Lambert (1928- ), whom I greatly admire for her design work on many stamps issued by various Francophone countries, after a photo by Adolfe Sylvain, a renowned photographer of all things French Polynesian. Here is an image of a stamp featuring an O'Day 23' sailboat, printed by lithogravure, and issued by Brazil on April 18, 1979 to publicize the Brasiliana'79 philatelic exhibition held in Rio de Janiero, September 15 to 23, Scott No. 1608. - nethryk  |

fifia's Polynesia is a beauty. I'm trying to appreciate the Brasiliana stamp, but it is just not working for me (yet). |

Thanks gentlemen, I have this one album with odds and ends and a box with misc. stamps and it is like open a book to the world. No system, just loose stamps..You know what I mean. Look at this Polynesie stamp. Beautiful...I can sip my beer and take a mind trip on this lake and begin to wonder about the person who designed, produced and issued that stamp. For them, probably a dream came true... Looking at these stamps for me is like having this mental connection, being part of the meaning they represent, the communication effort makes me think/feel and appreciate their purpose. Yes, as earlier stated, a stamp is something one needs to get things from A to B. Not so for me. There maybe a time were I feel different but as for now I am amazed and enjoy being part of this forum.  |
