Spinnaker

Stand tall.  Stand fast. 

Stand stark and strong against the sky.

Stand way, way above the water.

Steel yourself. And sail.

Sail on, when you cannot sail away.

With no tomorrow, nor yesterday,

sail on for ever.

Seek admiration

for your elegance,

and your dominance.

Set a rising challenge

and a stunning viewpoint

for your visitors.

Explain your towering significance

and your special name:

with a meaning for all sailors:

working the wind,

winning over the wind;

sailing always,

and all ways.

Stand still, supreme.

Stand proud,

and stay at last

a soaring symbol

for a great seaport.
