"What is it about sailing that so completely captures our hearts, captivates our souls, and enchants us with its magic? I believe this enchantment grows from our sense of touch. When we sail we are constantly in motion. The movement is a form of touch so unique, so intense that we find ourselves wanting more. We're never quite satisfied, never quite full. The constant rhythm of sailing makes us feel alive. For sailors, the memories are endless, the sensations, the touch, the feel unforgettable. And the urge to go again is uncontrollable. The feel of sailing is something once experienced, is always remembered. Nothing else comes close, nothing else compares. That, indeed, is sailings lure, for the feel of sailing is not the feel of the everyday or the ordinary - it's the feel of life itself."
