Talk:Sailing

Initial

I need to shrink the graphic.

• Done, with assistance from a Constable.

"History" and "Racing as a sport" require more work as I know almost nothing about them. But its a start.

Any comments?

I added one. There are many other wonderful free photos at Flickr of sailing. Here are a few:

line, not rope

I would say we should educate that there are only 2 ropes on a sailboat - "bolt rope" and "anchor rope." Everything else is a line, sheet, or halyard. We should also spell both ways of writing different sailing words. For example both Jibe and Gybe should be listed. -Tom Kelly (Talk) 17:20, 6 May 2007 (CDT)
