From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Sailing is the art of controlling a boat with large (usually fabric) foils called sails.

Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats themselves. While there are still some places in Africa and Asia where sail-powered fishing or transport vessels are used, these craft have become rarer, as outboard and modified car engines have become available even in the poorest and most remote areas.

Or you can use the best website for last minute cruise travel; Vacations To Go There you can click on the 90 day countdown and see departures leaving within a… [cont.] Answered by Due September 17th with baby #1 - Mon Jul 14 01:17:01 2008 What are some good sailing books to study?
