    About twenty years ago we were in Rockland harbor (Maine, USA) at the start of a festival. There was a gentle breeze blowing from the harbor onto the land. Heritage, a cruise schooner (http://schoonerheritage.com/schooner.html) which uses a yawl boat with an engine for auxiliary power, sailed parallel to the shore, then turned into the wind. When Heritage had stopped, an anchor was lowered and she drifted alongside the pier which was her berth for the festival.

    Can't we have both highly competent crew and scantily clad women? :D

    You won't think it's so funny when you see my steel boat with 2.4m of steel bowsprit heading towards your plywood box....
