Captain Stephen Sanger, left and Captain Joe Hopkins Why visit The Niña and Pinta? • To see a near perfect example of a specific type of sailing ship, the caravel, and to marvel at the clean, sculptured, honest design that it was produced for upwards of 125 years. • To, in some small way, enter that age ... to get a feeling for Columbus himself, that enigmatic and flawed human being, who, whether you admire or despise him, is one of a few individuals who, by themselves, for good or ill, personally altered the course of Western history. The Niña: Deck length - 65', Beam - 18', Draft - 7' Tonnage - 75, Sail Area - 1919 sq ft Pinta: Deck length - 85', Beam - 23', Draft - 7.5' Tonnage - 101, Sail Area - 3800 sq ft
