Cruising sailors tend to prefer things like swimming from their boat; Racing sailors prefer the water on top of their boat instead; They will spend as much money on sails as their boat is worth; They will sail so close together you could jump to the next boat; They will remove their dodger so they can fully enjoy all that water on top of their boat; They will crawl onto a pitching foredeck to lash down a sail because they don’t have a furler; They will climb onto the boom to install a reef line so they don’t have to slow the boat down; They will fly a spinnaker in 20 knots of wind or more; They won’t even bother taking down their own spinnaker, and will just let God do it; And they will do all of this whether it’s day or night, regardless of whether they can see or not; All for getting their boat’s name engraved on some stupid trophy, and getting some yellow flags to boast about their accomplishments, and for some unforgettable moments with friends - priceless!!!
