Just in - sketch done by Mark Meyers, who was the possible artist of another sketch of Valkyrien with a square rig!. It shows the square sail rig that was planned for Valkyrien when she was restored in Hawaii. Valkyrien´s "spreaders" are actually "crosstrees" and were built for square sails. The sketch shows the planned rig - the triangular Foresail, Fore Topsail and Fore Topgallant. Valkyrien has waited a long time for the square sails but when she goes on the water in the Bay of Panama as a Sail Training Tall Ship, she will boast a square rig.
