It seems all the olympic class sailors start really early or are born into sailor families. I just moved to a city where I can learn sailing, and I’m in love with sailing already, wish I had started earlier. To all the great sailors out there, is it ever possible for a late starter to bloom in competitive sailing?

I’m looking for some non-fiction sailing books about cruising on a sailboat. Please remember non-fiction means they are true and not made up. Sail, sailboat, cruising, travel.

Last year when a new chief editor took over at Sailing World he started a new program to try to generate some letter to the editor correspondenceby offering a “Letter of the month” contest. Last spring a letter that I wrote was picked for letter of the month and was given a special box for my letter in the issue and it said I would receive soma Sailing World swag. I’m still waiting for it.

I’m planning a sailing trip next year for about 12 people and I’m looking for ideas. We’d like something warm, nice beaches and maybe some outdoor adventure on shore. The trip is probably a week long. As a point of reference, this group sailed a week in BVI last time and totally loved it. Now on to something different. Any thoughts?

I’m getting married in the Caribbean on the beach. I’m looking for quotations that incorporate sailing or the beach to use as possible readings in my wedding ceremony or just on my program and elsewhere. I’d really appreciate any ideas you have. Thanks!

I’m going to try to explain this the best I can.
Lately I have been writing a novel that involves a wooden sailing ship. What I need to know is what the part that holds the hatch to the lower deck is called. Like, where the deck dips slightly, right behind that. This information would be a lot of help.

Going sailing tomorrow and need to make sure we are wearing proper shoes. Don’t want to be Gilligan and slip off the side.

I’m sailing in April, May and July and I’m planning on getting a wetsuit. Should I get a shortie and then wear a fleece, windbreaker or rashie OR should I a full suit?
