Generally speaking a sailing yacht - although size matters! Talking here of vessels up to about 60ft....

A sailing yacht is designed to stand up to rough conditions as it cannot outrun weather systems. A motor yacht is designed to be much faster and generally lighter, thus is not so stable in the same conditions.

A sailing yacht often has a keel (catamarans excepted) which helps it return to the upright position when it is knocked down by a wave. Motor boats don't generally have this advantage.

With normal motor cruisers (there are a few purpose built designs that this doesn't apply to) when running at full speed they consume up to 5 or more litres of fuel a minute. Even with very large fuel tanks, their effective range is generally less than 250 miles. The normal Atlantic crossing from the Canaries to the Caribbean is about 2800 miles, thus causing a bit of a problem.

Sailing yachts, rather obviously, don't have this problem.

There are exceptions to all of the above, but its a fair generalisation!

In accordance with rule 28 of the 72 COLREGS a vessel 'constrained by her draft' shall display 3 red lights vertically in addition to other navigation lights.

rum for drinks and meat was somtimes eaten other then that i dont know

well i looked on the images cause i had the same question and it was white with a blue band.

Depends. Size is not the predominant factor when determining speed for a sailboat. Depends on the wind condidtions

the year fremantle hosted the America's cup defence was 1987

Boats sailing on the river Nile has had a negative impact on the region. For example, it has caused pollution and the erosion of the riverbanks.

The yard stick which was published in Y&Y and was used at the 2007 Multi-Hull Regatta at Rutland water is 1200. There were actually no Martin's there on the day but they had originally plan for it but... In addition during a very bored moment I went onto the Sail USA web site, which has a published py for the martin 16, however the US version is different to the UK. I look at some boats, which were identical, both here and there and did a little linear interpolation (maths) and the figure that came out was 1198. Rob Wright

Ferdinand Magellan's ship made it, but he did not.

Sailing charters are used ensure the ability to reach places that are unreachable by land. Chartering a boat in order to reach an offshore location, like an island, is much less expensive, but takes slightly longer, than flying on a plane (which may not take you to that location anyways).

Great Salt Lake, Bear Lake, Utah lake, Lake Powell, maybe Flaming Gorge.... depends on what you draw and what you think is fun.

Stays support the mast on a sailing boat running from the mast forward and aft. Shrouds also support the mast and run from the mast to the sides of the boat.

Eddie Mast was a basketball forward for Temple, NY Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and the Allentown Jets. He was also a coworker of mine in the Sawmill at C.F. Martin & Co., Inc. (Martin Guitar), Nazareth, PA in the late 70's and early 80's.

masts

Atlantic Ocean

Southerly mostly

They act as aerofoils, much like the wings of an aeroplane, and work by the air pressure difference on the surfaces of the sails.

The expression is usually 'Fair winds and calm seas' and it means a sailing ship can make good progress without battling against the waves.

The hull of a boat is the body of the boat. it is the part of the boat in the water. excluding the mast, boom, sail, rudder, keel, etc.
