the yachts.
Boating is that since early nineteenth century . And yet, these beginnings were very timid, and only the preserve of very wealthy people (Often naval officers, for that matter).
"Who goes to sea for pleasure would go to hell to pass the time," said former professional seamen.
Until the mid-twentieth century , it remained a activity wealthy owners of large yachts on , adventurers, or Insider , on smaller boats (often on river). The painters, including the Impressionists, were these.
The regattas became the subject of issues, sometimes as the national America's Cup from the mid 19 th century or later, the Olympic Games.
The America's Cup was born of a race held in 1851 in England, a port which was already the Hall of Pleasure: Cowes. Queen Victoria was offering 100 guineas (hence the name: the 100 Guineas Cup) in the sailboat that would carry the fastest around the Isle of Wight. Was expected, of course, an Englishman, it was an American who won, much to the displeasure of His Majesty and his subjects. The beautiful schooner reported the big money pitcher in New York and remained there for over a century, until the Australian yacht brought from the other side of the planet. in 1983, after 132 years of U.S. supremacy. The trophy is again American, and was delighted by New Zealanders, and finally by the Swiss.
Since then, several replicas of the legendary boat America have been built and can see one of them quite often in the Mediterranean.
Large yachts were rigged schooners Westward example , whose replica Eleonora is probably one of the finest vessels sailing today . Its builder was the prestigious Nathanael Herreshof , which was part of a famous family of architects, New York.
Others were rigged cutter, like the famous J Class Some of these magnificent yachts, after decades of neglect, were restored and sailing, for example Lulworth (built in 1920) or Cambria (1928).
Several of them are due to a family of Scottish architects, also famous as the Herreshoff: Dynasty Fife. is the case with famous Mariquita, Moonbeam , Moonbeam of Fife, Pen Duick ...
The first series appeared, including dragons (original Norwegian, 1929) and sharks (designed in Finland in 1930).
From 1945, the triangular mainsail (Bermudan or Marconi) dethrone other types of rigs for new construction. All other configurations are treated as "tall ships", often with contempt these boats, yet often elegant, find a renewed interest since the early 1980s, with the restoration of boats and forgotten again in new buildings wooden sail gaff or third parties.

Some old sailing enthusiasts despise modern boats, especially those made of polyester, which they describe as "tupperware". However, these boats can also bring great pleasure and are easier to maintain, they must simply be adapted to their owner and their environment.

Everything is about compromise, and do not see too great for small boat, small worries.
remains a problem regarding the polyester that for recycling at the end of life of the boat. But the first craft built in "plastic" sail again, when properly maintained, only the problem of osmosis can create real trouble in maintenance. And then we talk about plant materials to replace plastics, recyclable, but will they have a proper life?
It takes all sorts to make a world, and essentially in pleasure is to feel good when you sail.
