Maybe among the best experiences an individual can have will be to sail bare. There are many reasons for this. The foremost is that should one be in a position to sail unclothed then the weather would need to be warm and sunny to make the prospect inviting, additionally if one can sail, then some wind will likely be getting itself understand and also the boat will be leaning to it . Even in colder climes when I've needed to wear clothing to ward off the elements I never tire of the miracle that is a sailing vessel just using the wind to drive through the ocean. Sorry I digress, anyway another factor, ( unless one is a serious exhibitionist) is that there isn't going to be a great deal of other boats around and for me an empty sea is a joyful sea. Whether there are other folks on board, then if ones relationship to them will not be strained by sharing this kind of intimate experience, it might even be improving.
Sailing can be a physically demanding pastime, frequently one has to move quickly, its not until one has had the delight of moving without clothes does one realise how restricting garments are. When Addressing concerns and answering questions 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 stone went at the top between both masts and was astonishingly powerful in light airs. The drawback was that when the wind piped up it had to come down. But in order to drop it two halliards (the ropes that pull up or lower a sail) had to be utilized at exactly the same time, as there was only one of me and my invisible friend was proving useless at deck work, the sail would get the wind behind it and flap up and tear itself. I had grown very tired of this caper as well as the subsequent sewing up of rips that came of it. This one special time it did it, the entire sail blew forward and wrapped itself around the foremast top, I understood that in a very short time it'd be rent beyond repair and I climbed the mast to free it. It really was a revelation. How well this approach would decrease in Solent sailing circles I dont understand, I daresay the RYA and health and safety would have at least something to say on the situation!
If you are wearing clothes they will get wet, and as its sea water, the salt will then cease the clothing from ever properly drying until it's rinsed with fresh water. Fresh water may be very precious on a sailing boat far from land, it is not to be squandered in rinsing out clothing. So if one will not wear any, it will not get dirty and need washing does it? Along with all these amazing benefits one gets a nice even tan, what could be better?)
