Approximately 0.1% of Americans participate in sailing activities. In comparison, countries with a strong sailing culture, such as Australia or New Zealand, may have a higher percentage of their population engaged in sailing. However, globally, sailing is not a mainstream recreational activity and is more popular in coastal regions or countries with a maritime tradition.
Windward is where the wind is coming from and leeward is where the wind is going to.
So if you want to beach your boat on a relatively safe shore, you would want to beach your craft on the leeward side of a particular island, where it is sheltered from the wind.
Strictly speaking, a boat's sails serve to catch the wind, propelling the boat forward. They can be adjusted in a number of ways using things like sheets, halyards, topping lifts, cunninghams, and other lines. Sails are generally adjusted based on what direction the boat is facing relative to the wind, how windy it is, and how fast you want to go. Many small boats have two sails. The larger of these sails is generally called the mainsail. It is to the rear of the mast and is attached to the boom. In the average two-person skipper/crew setup, one of the skipper's duties is to control the mainsail. This is achieved via the main sheet, which is pulled in or let out based on how close (or far from) heading upwind the boat is. In general, the closer you are to upwind, the more the sails should be pulled in. The smaller of the two sails is generally called the jib. The crew controls the jib via the jib sheets, which are adjusted in nearly the same way as the main sheet. In addition, some small sailboats are equipped to fly a spinnaker. This sail is sometimes also called a chute because it looks like a parachute when full. The spinnaker is flown only when going downwind or nearly downwind, and is controlled by both the skipper and crew.
The orlop is the lowest deck in a ship (except for very old ships). It is the deck or part of a deck where the cables are stowed, usually below the water line. It has been suggested the name originates from "overlooping" of the cables.
It has also been suggested that the name is a corruption of "overlap," referring to an overlapping, balcony-like half deck occupying a portion of the ship's lowest deck space. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word descends from Dutch overloop from the verb overlopen, "to run (over); extend").

Foggy conditions....a case of restricted visibility... according to International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea Rule 35... "A Power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast."
So hearing a prolonged blast every 2 mins in restricted visibility we can deduce that its a power driven vessel making way through water.
Tall ships.
More specifically, a Barque or Bark has three masts (possible more) fore and aft rigged mizzen mast.
Barquentine, three masts with all but the foremost fore and aft rigged.
A fully rigged ship, three or more masts, all of them square rigged
A Schooner, three or more masts with fore and aft rigged sails
Archimedes' principle, principle that states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The principle applies to both floating and submerged bodies and to all fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. It explains not only the buoyancy of ships and other vessels in water but also the rise of a balloon in the air and the apparent loss of weight of objects underwater. In determining whether a given body will float in a given fluid, both weight and volume must be considered; that is, the relative density, or weight per unit of volume, of the body compared to the fluid determines the buoyant force. If the body is less dense than the fluid, it will float or, in the case of a balloon, it will rise. If the body is denser than the fluid, it will sink. Relative density also determines the proportion of a floating body that will be submerged in a fluid. If the body is two thirds as dense as the fluid, then two thirds of its volume will be submerged, displacing in the process a volume of fluid whose weight is equal to the entire weight of the body. In the case of a submerged body, the apparent weight of the body is equal to its weight in air less the weight of an equal volume of fluid. The fluid most often encountered in applications of Archimedes' principle is water, and the specific gravity of a substance is a convenient measure of its relative density compared to water. In calculating the buoyant force on a body, however, one must also take into account the shape and position of the body. A steel rowboat placed on end into the water will sink because the density of steel is much greater than that of water. However, in its normal, keel-down position, the effective volume of the boat includes all the air inside it, so that its average density is then less than that of water, and as a result it will float.
It's usually called a cleat, generally a horn cleat.
Sailing trip discounts are available to everyone and there are many to choose from such as sailing events, they offer many different packages each with great saving and discounts for corporate clients.
The ship America, beat out a fleet of Britain's finest in 1851. The trophy was given to the captain and the race was later renamed, The America's Cup. The first real race for this trophy, under the new name was in 1870 with 14 vessels.
Any powered vessel must give way to a boat under sail power. The main reason is maneuverability as the sail boat cannot reverse its sails in order to stop. Since the sailboat is dependent entirely on the wind for power it simply just cannot go in any direction like a powered craft can.

The Viking longboat had a very shallow-draft hull. This meant they could raid far up rivers.
The two-man fore-and-aft carry is used to transport a conscious or unconscious casualty and is the preferred two-man carry for moving a casualty for a long distance.
From where to where? To sail the biennial Transpac Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu, winning boats commonly make the 2500+ mile journey in around 7 days. On the other hand, depending on winds and route taken, the return trip can take anywhere from 3 weeks on up. Fair winds and following seas to you.
It depends on how fast you sail, where you stop, and weather conditions.
