While some sailors may be particular about their usage, we take a more laid-back approach and explore the technical distinctions. Learn how rope is considered a raw material, while a line is a rope with a specific job onboard a vessel.

No doubt a sight to see rolling through the English countryside! Marking a significant build milestone, we see the Gunboat 80 hull structures, built entirely in prepreg carbon fiber by Fibre Mechanics in Lymington, England, in transit to the Gunboat factory in La Grande-Motte, France. www.gunboat.com #gunboat #catamarans #boatbuilding

A solitary lighthouse stands unyielding on a rugged island, a beacon of resilience against the relentless, turbulent ocean. Witness nature's raw power met with unwavering strength. #Lighthouse #Ocean #Resilience #Nature #Coastal

Recently, I again had Chuck along as crew on Freelance, my Pearson 36 Cutter (Pearson 367). We were tacking up the Apostle Islands' North Channel in a fresh breeze (15-25 knots apparently wind), flying along at hull speed.(about 7.5 knots) We both took two-hour tricks on the wheel. It was fun beat to windward.

"One thing that has really shone through this year, is the resilience of our members. Our junior members have been out on the water enjoying the freedom of sailing. Watching them, I know that the future of sailing is in safe hands." Colin Moorhead, Royal Cork Yacht Club Admiral #activeonthewater #strategy2020
