Sailing Nude
Perhaps among the finest experiences someone can have would be to sail naked. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that should one be in a position to sail un-clothed then the weather would need to be warm and bright to make the prospect encouraging, also if one can sail, then some wind will soon be making itself know and also the boat will be leaning to it . Even in beach gallery when I've needed to wear clothing to ward off the elements I never tire of the wonder that's a sailing vessel only utilizing the wind to drive through the sea. Sorry I digress, anyway another variable, ( unless one is a serious exhibitionist) is that there WOn't be a lot of other vessels around and for me an empty sea is a happy sea. Whether there are naturism on board, then if ones relationship to them WOn't be strained by sharing this kind of intimate experience, it may even be enhancing.
Sailing can be naturist demanding pastime, often one has to go quickly, its not until one has had the pleasure of going without clothes does one realise how confining garments are. When I was on my way (singlehanded) back across the Atlantic in my beaten up schooner "Gloria" the most effective sail was one that went by the name of "the fishermans" this four sided jewel went at the top between the two masts and was astonishingly powerful in light airs. The drawback was that when the wind piped up it had to come down. I had grown very tired of this caper and also the following sewing up of rips that came of it. This one special time it did it, the entire sail drifted forward and wrapped itself around the foremast top, I knew that in a very brief time it'd be torn beyond repair and I scaled the mast to free it. Wearing only naturist was amazed how easy it was. It really was a revelation. How well this system would decrease in Solent sailing circles I dont know, I daresay the RYA and health and safety would have something to say on the issue!
If you are wearing garments they will get wet, and as its sea water, the salt will subsequently cease the garments from ever correctly drying until it is rinsed with fresh water. Fresh water may be extremely prized on a sailing boat far from land, it's not to be squandered in rinsing out clothes. So if one does not wear any, it doesn't get dirty and need washing does it? Along with all these amazing benefits one gets a nice even tan, what could possibly be better?)
