It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.

My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.

I used to own a dingy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats.

We enjoy sailing small boats, two of which I have designed and built myself.

I like to sail. My son Caden and I are avid sailors.

Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.

A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.

Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.
