Tasty snack

Weatherproof

Yachtmaster, wish they would teach them the basics of knots, splicing and boat maintenance.

Tasty snack, someone should start a new thread on this specific subject.

Weatherproof, for a short while yes, so I guess this should be water-resistant.

a dirty weekend on the boat......

I invited a friend to come to the boat for a dirty weekend once. How was I to know that drying out to scrub and redo the antifouling wasn't what she had in mind?

Amusing list of examples, but these are not oxymorons.

The OP asked about sailing Oxymorons.

I understand they are soundly constructed, carry their canvas well and are sea-kindly. There is an active owners' association, and a well-maintained example should provide lots of enjoyment.
