[edit] Sailing re-organization effort
Take a minute to read the comments at Talk:Sailing#Re-write effort -- non how-to et seq. Some of us are working on re-organizing the sailing-related articles. See if you agree with our approach and give us some help. And a big hello dawg to you, dawg. Mrees1997 19:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] merging to saling ships
This makes no sense sine the topics are vastly unrelated —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kevin Murray (talk • contribs) 19:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
Agreed. Sailboat and sailing ship only share the word sail and thereby the means of propulsion. One look at the pages demonstrates that one is about a now largely outmoded form of transport whereas the second is about a thriving leisure pursuit. One is largely about 200 year old mercantile and warfare issues of large craft the other about a long and still thriving activity by smaller craft manned largely by enthusiasts.

[edit] Images
It looks like there are way too many images on this page; I think we should consider removing some of them, or adding a lot more text. - Davandron | Talk 14:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
---As a sailing school instructor, I have found that images go a long way in explaining the many subtle differences between types of boats. -jcsimms
[edit] Four-master
There is an article Four-master with this text "Four-master: Large four masted sailboat.", it is unreferenced and orphaned. I do not have enough knowledge about the subject to suggest improvement, merge, or deletion. Jeepday (talk) 02:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sailing boat
There is no such word as sailing-boat, it is sailing boat. Google sailing-boat and you’ll get sailing boat! Type in sailing boat and Microsoft word 2007 will not prompt a respelling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.110.226 (talk) 17:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC) See - http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sailingboat?view=uk
