Boating Slang?

Okay, since you asked:

If I were a sailboat and you were the wind.....would you blow me?

SHUT UP AND DRIVE - on the back of crew's shirts
TRIM - on the front of the helmsman's shirt
EASE - on the back of the helmsman's shirt

I have a Slam T shirt with "If you can't lay it, shoot it" on the front, and a diagram of shooting a windward mark on the back.

Sailing - get wet just thinking about it

Sail it like you stole it.

I can get in there--it's not my boat.

The beatings will continue until crew morale improves.

Sheet In
Shut Up
and Hike Out

Only sailors get blown offshore

Sail Fast... Live Slow...

Embrace poverty with dignity. Go sailing.

Don't get your guy tangled in the sheets

or was it

don't get your sheets tangled in the guy?

Lifejackets required, Clothing Optional.

Blow the Old Guy First

Weather or not
Whether or not.

"It's illegal to pump the spinnaker guy"

BIGHT ME!

Sailing makes me wet.

Luff em' and Leave em'

"Shifts Happen"

If I go sailing one more time, my girlfriend said she would leave me ..... gosh I'll miss her !

"If it doesn't blow, it sucks"

The crew of one of the IOR fifties had T Shirts that said

"I listen to the guy who writes the cheques"

The owner had one that said

"I write the cheques"


There is only ONE problem with this effing boat - the bows to close to the stern!

It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're sailing with turkeys

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm, always

The crew puts the sails up, God takes 'em down.

Old sailors never die

They just get a little dinghy.


For foredeckies:

On the front: "Be quiet I'm thinking"
On the back: "Efff off I'm busy"


On the front: What the Skipper says: "Hike! Trim! Ease!"

On the back: What the Crew hears: "Blah! Blah! Blah""

Don't judge a man by the size of his dinghy

"Life's a reach, then you gybe." or it's variant,
"It's not just a gybe, it's an adventure."

Only sailors are blown offshore

experience is what you get about five seconds after you needed it

when in danger or in doubt,
sail in circles, scream and shout.

if it doesnt blow, it sucks
 
Swap?? Nahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

"STARRRRBBBOOOAAARRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

what did they say?
