This is largely a word puzzle but it raises the notion that a sailboat is used for many types of "sailing". Cruising, I assume is meant to mean someone who travels by sea to various destinations, probably with a sailboat (could be sailing,
motor sailing or under power) and that is the main reason purpose of their sailing. Of course it's not JUST the
destination is how you get there and that you are always on the
water, ie you spend days and nights on your
boat.
Most people are "reality constrained" even if they identify as true cruisers, they live ashore and only get to "cruise" on the weekends and vacations where they DO
live aboard.
I don't know the point of the
poll as I can't imagine any cruiser who DOESN'T like sailing. But I suppose there are the racers who could care less about cruising and accommodations and only want to sail a sport and go home at the end of the
race. Cruisers seem to think of the
boat AS their home.
