Any boat or ship with sails is beautiful. Some things never go out of style.

Want to hear the most amazing fact about sailing craft? I've traveled in many different ways: car, truck, bicycle, steamships, paddlewheelers, cruise ships, barge, raft, motorscooters, motorcycles, airplanes(Piper J3 Cub, 474 and everthing in between)sailplane, flatboat, speedboat, jonboat, canoe, bus, helicopter, ferryboat, moped, pogo stick, shoe leather, streetcar, cable car, houseboat, tricycle, etc. but never in a sailboat.
Sure, I've been on board some sailboats, but they were always tied to the dock, never under sail. I've never ridden in a blimp either, but that doesn't bother me. Missing out on sailing is a real thorn in my paw. Someday.
