Is it ok to high jack this thread with sailing stuff or is a new one a better way to go? I have some nice photos.

This thread has been jacked seven ways to Sunday (and not in the good sexy way).  What's a couple boat pics?

She'd take good care of you at sea.

She'd take good care of you, and get you there fast too.

Would those boats have beds and a washroom on them?

This is a Westsail 32. The same boat I owned for 5 years. Smallish but also very capable. The previous owner sailed her to Tahiti. Love the outline of these boats. Seaworthy.

Very nice accommodations in some.

With most conveniences that an rv would have?

This is what she looked like sailing to weather. Loved that rig too. Two head sails. A jib and a stay sail. She was a tad slow, but could really handle a blow.

Yes but way more refined. I believe you can equip a boat with what every you want. The more you have aboard, the more complicated it becomes though. I never really got to cruise anywhere, but I can tell you simple and bullet proof accoutrements are key.

Using a sail to travel across the water is ancient, and has evolved hugely. Maybe it's something you might have an interest in. A small sailing dingy on lake can be a blast. The concept isn't difficult.

It's the language Twenty Dollars..



I don't know what a jib or stay sail is.

Fash I suggest reading a book about it. Sailing is good family fun.

This boat, Hans Christan, would be my all time favorite boat to own. I think this one is a 38. You could sail her anywhere in safety and style. Same sail layout as my Westsail.

From left to right in the picture you have the mainsail, the staysail and the jib.  The staysail is an added luxury in a single mast rig but the other two sails are normative.



When he speaks of "to weather" he means sailing into (or nearly into) the wind.  In the picture the wind is coming from behind the camera and to its right.



Not trying to butt in here, but the language is easy to learn if you hang out with sailors and once you experience sailing you will remember for the rest of your days.  It's not that complicated.
