I've been an avid sailboat racer for 40 years, never gets old.
Here's a picture from Newport, RI at an early season tune up in 2019. I've done thousands of ocean miles on this boat since it was new in February 2018. The boat belongs to a friend of mine. |

My dad shared a 1/4 interest in a 32' racing slough for years, a long time ago. The "Scotch Mist" We used it far more than our 1/4, I was always fishing off it at the docks.
I took it out once with 2 buddies while I was in HS. The wind was blowing hard directly across the harbor entrance, and we ended up on the rocks. Harbor patrol towed us back to the dock, and when my mom showed up we were in the water re-glassing some of the damage on the bow.

So no disrespect, I have nothing but respect for those who serve(d), my middle child was in the Canadian Navy and served on a number of war ships.....my oldest daughter was in the Air Force and is now a pilot flying in the far north....but those aren't boats. They're ships, you can put a boat on a ship but you can't put a ship on a boat....
And yes they are boats. Peace, and thank you for your service. |

Nice!
Awesome, we were plane guard for the Washington during my first cruise and during the 50th reenactment of Normandy. We also went thru the Suez Canal with just the Washington on the way to the gulf for a special assignment. |

Not back when I was sailing. They are mainly known for their container ships and crude oil tankers.

I don't know how much truth there is to it, but I remember reading somewhere that the perk for cargo ships carrying passengers was that they received priority pilot and tug services at some busy ports.....

Speaking of stowaways did you ever have one on a vessel you crewed?
