Description:
'The Galway Hooker (Irish: bad mor or huiceir) is a traditional sailing boat used in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland. The hooker was developed for the strong seas there. It is identified by the sail formation, which is extremely distinctive and quite beautiful. It consisted of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails.' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galway_Hooker)
