| The San Rafael
was a typical "redonda" caravel with two masts of square sails and one lateen
sail. It had a light hull with low immersion, which gave this ship an excellent handling
in rough seas. Other ships of this period were heavier and less manageable. The San Rafael
took part in the African coasts expedition of the Portuguese explorer Alfonso Goncalvez. |
