Bobsprit is a Yachtsman

I'm a sailor

The vessel does not make the sailor... but it does make the Yachtsman.

A Sailor collects a pay check at the end of a voyage; A Yachtman is the
man who signs the sailor's pay check.

Well, bubbles is a yachtsman wannabe. I think everyone else with the
exception of redclod is a sailor.

A sailor sails. A yachtsman may sail or, like me, simply spend so much time
working on his boat that he has little or no time to sail.

Y'know, forgive me for being serious a minute... but between you and
Thom, I think you really have defined the difference. A sailor is
somebody who sails... and works on his own boat... and would not hire
somebody else to do the sailing for him, because that's what he enjoys
most. A sailor is self-reliant and does as much of his own work as he
can. A yachtsman is content to hire somebody... maybe even brags about it...

I prefer the title "Mariner".

Amen!
