    The ideas that normies don’t sail isn’t true. I’m a normie and not rich and I started a sailing school because it’s fun as hell. You don’t need ^to ^own a boat to go sailing, you only need to know how.

            You don’t need a boat, but sailing is much easier with a boat.

          Even ten years ago I was like what the heck is an American flag doing on this boat?? The American empire is like one of my least fave so can we at least use the less horrifying state flag?

            Not a sailboat, but still a downloaded boat. https://www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/Printcess.html

        A friend with a boat is what you want. Same with a pool.

          First they tell me I can go sailing, now you say I can make friends… What other pie in the sky fantasies are you selling!?

          It’s always good to have friends with things you want to use but don’t want to own. Another thing that falls into that category: puppies and kittens.

        Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves. And the aforementioned knowledge of sailing.

        you join a club and are crew. it’s literally how most sailing clubs function. How the hell are you supposed to race a boat if only the owner gets to be on it? The larger the boat the more the crew you need. The fees at my club for crew are $40 a year. That’s like 1/3 the cost of netflix and way more worth it. And many clubs also have a “why buy?” club where you can captain one of the fleet boats a certain number of times a year and bring your own crew.

        The same way you live in a place that you don’t own.

          OK, but you don’t see me starting an “apartment renting school”

            If renting an apartment carried with it a similar significant risk of drowning, there might be a demand.

      Can confirm, especially the smaller sailboats like lasers and such. You can get going insanely fast on a windy day on the lake :)

        Sunfish are the best. Why, you ask? Just scroll down until you see something… ‘jolly’

        spoiler

        Now, these aren’t official class sails, but who is going to be racing a sunfish anyway, right? ;) I’m also shocked at the price increase. I paid $150 for mine 10 years ago, which is 1/3 of the true class sails needed for racing.

          I don’t have space for a mini sailboat right now, but these do look fun as a hobby someday :3
