Why choose to cruise in an engliness sailboat?

“We can reasonably suggest that sailing is, in many ways, and perhaps even fundamentally, an ‘aesthetic’ activity. For cruising under sail to be meaningful…it must fit within a certain symbolic framework.”

– Jerome FitzGerald, author, proto-seasteader, ethical farmer, and founder of The Oar Club, a loose association of engineless sailors (now defunct).
