In like manner is "sailing" in some huge, heavy, luxury-filled boat that is
automated, has wind up sails, has a washer/dryer, dishwasher, hot and cold
running water, air conditioning, refrigeration, ice maker, bar, satellite
TV, stove/oven/broiler, auto pilot, autonavigation, large diesel, generator,
water maker, etc. really sailing?

Hold it! Don't you sail a 72mm something-or-other?

No, it's a 68 foot Swan.

He must have stripped out all of the useless mod cons such as engine,
winches, running water, flush toilets etc and hauls up the chain and
the heavy anchor by hand. What a man. What a bull****ter. What a
pitiful character.

I simply cannot imagine any one who is reasonably sane and balanced,
living a reasonably interesting and satisfying life getting their
jollies by living their entire life in this newsgroup. Rather sad
really.

Who does he think he is fooling? Perhaps himself.
