Thanks all.
Taken from a position lying on the net underneath the bowsprit and above the water in front of the bow. Not a good place to be for one with vertigo, but worth it!!

Good pic, I'm impressed, can you name the sails though?

Yep - all of them! From the bottom up - Fore-sail; Fore-lower Topsail; Upper-Fore Topsail.
I'll stop there and admit to cheating. The crew gave me a diagram showing all of the sails (42 in total) with their names in English, German and French!

Wow, amazing. I ask as I'm currently reading Patrick O'Brian's series for a second time of Captain Jack Aubrey - starts with Master and Commander!
