Sailing is very cool - great way to pick up the lasses and an awesome distiller of discipline and situational awareness as if you race - I will teach my son how to sail and race when he is older. I also think it makes a more competent boater...
That said - they suck to fish from

SAILBOATS RULE
They suck to fish from, but I have caught big stripers trolling the race on my way back from longisland and large mahi off block. My good buddy caught a 145 lb bluefin delivering from Newpt -> St. Thomas last fall.
Sailboat racing is a major rush.
I can't wait til I have enough money to get a sailboat.

You'd be amazed what a decent fisherman can catch off the back of a sailboat.
They are actually a very good platform to troll from. Maybe not to fight or land a fish from, but the fish seem to like them.
I sell a lot of trolling gear to sailors leaving Newport for winter every year, they definitely catch fish.

Who sails, all I see are long skinny boats with 9.9's buzzing around, assuming they've got the right of way because they're a sailboat.  |

I could argue both sides for a week on this one. Reminds me of the boat fish don't count argument. I made my living in the sailing industry for a couple of years, so I can definitely tell you the best of times and the worst of times. Yes, there are less proficient sailors out there, just like there are less proficient fishermen out there. Open your minds. Just be aware whose boat you would be willing to board........

Nightfighter,
How/where did you make a living in "the industry".
I was in the sailboat industry for 25 yrs. We might have lost money on each boat, but we made it up in volume.  |
Enjoying Life !
