[Barquito]

Don't get too caught up in symantics. These are just descriptions of how seaworthy you and your boat need to be. The scale would go like this: Small lake sailing, big lake sailing, short coastal hops, long coastal hops, multi-day passage without bailout ports, passage longer than the weather forcast, long passage in high latitudes.

In the end, there are some Cape Horners found on Lakes, and some day sailers crossing oceans. Note: day sailer is the boat, day sailor is the person.
