it's expensive and basically a waste of money in this economy.
Because I don’t suck cock.
I rather buy groceries.
Fpbp
Someday I plan to get a Pearson Triton '26 and sail around the world.
Of course I sail.
I race mountain bikes, listen primarily to classical music, drink only red wines, and have a beagle. I sail a big fuckin cedar-decked M16. If But fuck that moth shit. I wanted to prance about like a foiling AC wannabe, and go as fast as possible by not touching the water, I'd just fly an ultralight instead.
why is there a balloon thread and a sailing thread
someday i plan to drown and die.
close enough i guess
I've sailed for a few years of my life. Just small, fast shit like in OP's pic. My dad had a 30' yacht we used to race every other saturday.
But, in all honesty, its a fucking drag. The effort, cost and sett-up for what is ultimately a very slow boat ride. You do a few laps up and down the waterway/lake. You get sunburned. You get wet most of the time. You can't really take anything or go anywhere because the faster the sailing boat, the less shit it can carry. Or if you want a practical sailing boat with the capacity to carry shit, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, and need private mooring.
Buy a 20' fiberglass boat with a 100hp outboard on it and rip up the coast, go wakeboarding, fishing, island camping. You can take booze and food. You've got shade if you want it. You can anchor anywhere and move at a moments notice. When you're done, just float that shit up onto a trailer and drive away.
Boomers no doubt
What is the best way to start sailing as a beginner?
sailing:
pros:
> can fish, free food
> excersise and mental stimulation
> no niggers since they cant swim
> people will call me captain
> place to invite girls over to
cons:
> expensive
> need to live next to a body of water
seems like a good investment desu
Sailing is really hard work. It's fun though, just got to have your wits about you
Highly recommended
My country is land empire, not sea empire
So i dont care about sailing, ships and so on
Volunteer at a club as a crew member. Most clubs will sort you out. Just be prepared to have instructions yelled at you by the boomer who owns the boat. Don't worry, he's easy to spot. He'll be the one steering the thing
Rugby is an alpha sport. (if you can get past the niggers and kiwifruits)
>spends entire history, fights numerous wars trying to gain access to ocean
russia actually has some half-decent dinghy teams
I swim like a rock and deep waters terrify me.
>not sea empire
go to Vladivostok, enjoy it before the Chinese take over
I'm not a bored boomer or born in to money.
Stagnant water and average 2-3 mph wind.
I have sailed, it’s weirdly addictive.
I’d like to get a little two person boat, but it’s just too expensive a hobby while I live in London.
You have RIVER.
Can' barely swim, hate water.
one thing you guys always forget in those pics, the bible says that hell was just for the fallen angels.. we get the lake of fire...
OK Winston

>Money
I'm employed.
Alan Watts lived on a boat :3
Tried. It was boring like hell.
I live nowhere near the ocean.
>live on a Great Lake
>can only swim in it 3 months of the year
I don’t get why any waste money in a boat here
FJs, 420s, and Lasers are relatively inexpensive and dont take up too much space. alternatively you could also windsurf
Nice lake nearby has a sailing club, tempted to check it out next summer. Thanks for the push.
heres a list of terms for anybody interested

hiking out is fun as hell
will they be a chinese takover of the far east?
as long as i can remember they are no ethnic chinese there.
Might be the opposite, russia seizing maandchuria, xin jiang and inner mongolia
indeed. Or its the one relaxing in the cabin while your outside freezing your ass

stop being poor
I crew on a 33' keelboat from time to time. It's fun, but I hate simultaneously being freezing cold and getting sunburned. It's also horrible how you sail until you're exhausted and then still have to pack everything up at the end.
I think most of the issues for me come from my incredibly competitive skipper, who in the past has literally decided to finish a race after we tore one spinnaker in half and had to pull another one out from under the boat after fully dropping it in the water.
I do like sailing though, so I'm probably going to get a dinghy once I can afford it.
>Wanting to be inside the cabin
>Ever
*pukes externally*
>all these landlets in the thread
Kek my ancestors conquered Europe by sailing. :^)
