Is sailing becoming extinct?
Agreed, kinda. If you want to GO somewhere, get a powerboat. The joy of
sailing is in the voyage, not the destination. When sailing, the "destination" is often "wherever we happen to be by around 6-ish". You call it "at the mercy of the winds" - I call it enjoying the ride. Lloyd Absolutely true for this "half way" sailor. (motor upwind and sail back) I'm the guy with the poly tarp sail on a pontoon boat. When I really want to go somewhere I crank up the 4 stroke and off we go but there is certainly something soothing about silently moving along, for free, hearing nothing but the water slapping aginst the hull and the sound of the birds in the mangroves. It does prompt a question about the statistic. How does the state of Washington categorize a motor sailer? That could account for the low numbers in the mid to larger size. |
