Homie how tf are you sailing with no boat?

[–] Chev 2 points 2 hours ago

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

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.

You wouldn’t download a boat

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!?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 22 hours ago

The best boat there is is one you don't own!

Never sailed in a pool before, brb.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 20 hours ago

You get really good at tight turns.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Hey, cheap nephlings and cousins once-removed! 👋 wanna run around and wrestle and part ways at the end of the night?!

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

you can stick a tiny american flag in your lil belly button and float on by.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

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?

They said you don't need a boat.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 22 hours ago

You don't need to own a boat. Apologies.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 13 points 22 hours ago

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

That's what gaming pcs with vr are for
