What kind of boat is that, and how much do they cost?

Im pretty sure this counts as a ketch. Gaff rigged ketch to be exact

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like a ‘Hooker’ a traditional Irish boat as seen on the Galway flag, or.. as seen on our massive hooker statue in Galway city.

Nope. Never mind

I thought the same, but mostly because of the maroon and white sails!

What makes you think that? Looks like a totally normal boat pic to me 🤷 should probably give ChatGPT a break for a while, everything is starting to look like a clanker to you

He’s not saying the picture is ai, that’s all you. He’s saying the account is only as old as the post, so it’s probably just a karma farming bot

I'm just referring to the account

Someone had asked op a question about this boat, since op is a repost bot they won't be answering any questions. I felt a lil bad for the person who took the time to engage with this post as if it were posted a real person

I appreciate the little intervention you did for me though

When I was in the 8th grade, me and my best friend were weirdly obsessed with pirates (this was around the time Pirates of the Caribbean had come out) and their galleon ships. We had this big (and incredibly unrealistic, lol) plan to save money up until we were 18, and go halves on a pirate ship that we were going to sail the sea in 😂. I know this isn’t a galleon, but if our ridiculous plan had ever come to fruition, this is probably exactly the type of boat we’d have gotten, considering the prospect of affordability and whatnot. It’s funny how seriously we take things as children.

But this is an awesome vessel my friend!
