Clothing optional sailing

Just curious how many others enjoy sailing while not getting tan lines? I bought my sailboat last year and it seems most dates I’ve taken sailing had no problems enjoying the sun au natural, now my fiancée is the same way we quite enjoy sailing while soaking some sun!?? :)

Thanks

"In The Breeze"

It's got that double meaning going for it.

Hey ottos, your avatar is what I believe a 1981 Hobie judging by the sail color "Cat Fever" I just sold mine along with our Macgregor before buying our Catalina 320. I really hated selling it and my Wife didn't even want to talk about it, but we weren't using it and we had to get realistic on what we should keep and what to sell before going full bore on our new to us boat.

I sold my Mac to a Veterinarian last August. He bought it while we sat in the slip. I said don't you want to see haw it sails? We then took it for a sail and he fell in love with it. It was a great boat.

Less along the junior high lines would be:
"Naturism"
"It's only natural"
"My naked lady"

More along the junior high theme:
"Bareboat Charter"
"Neeeeked"
"Moonglow" <-- This would be the ONLY acceptable use of this boat name. :D

for me it would be "pure white" as there are parts of my body that have never seen sunlight and a lot more parts that have not seen it in a LONG time

How many boats in any given marina actually sail naked? Some, but probably only a very few. I'm guessing that about the same proportion have already expressed themselves here, with maybe one or two more finding it unnecessary to be public about it.

As I said in a very early reply here, clothing did not originally evolve from modesty. It was for protection and that still applies. I just can't imagine the logic of carrying a knife while sailing, but not wearing pants. :eek:

Seems logical to me. You'd be equally prepared to act quickly if you boat were suddenly boarded by pirates or sirens. :D

You could always hang it on a belt or lanyard around your neck but I've rarely needed one in conditions where I was sailing nude. I'm a member of the Gulf Coast Nudist Yacht Club and we sail and raft up every chance we get. Yes, i think clothing definately has it's place as protection from the elements and non skid. lol But nudity just seems a natural fit for boating in general.
