It's not a downeaster; it's a PEI Northumberland Strait design- a Provincial. It was queer rigged because that gives your right arm more leverage, and that's usually the dominant arm anyhow.
I'm Paul B and I'm a professional mariner and former but still occasionally a marine scientist. From commercial fishing in New England starting from age 8 to crewing on the largest ships in the world, to working on coastwise tugboats and oil barges. I married a Brazilian beauty queen and don't get to see her enough.

A downeaster with a port side hauler? WTF? O.K. I'm jealous even if it's backwards.
