We use the term, "Main Cabin". lol. We are old-fashioned.

 

[HILLY]

How can you be “corrected” to use a foolish ignorant entirely asinine term?

I must surmise to call the thing at the bow a pull pit.

I agree with Mark Twain, you are not worth arguing with..

To the logical mind, the term "Main Cabin" entails the existence of an Auxiliary, or a Minor, Cabin

It would be true that sailors in the mid 1800s were semi or illiterate when they coined the term pushpit .

Try the 1960's - and it was done as a joke.

I can confidently guarantee that Gouv knows more than you ever will about boats.

OK… boats with gunnels have push pits

Ok, so what do you term do you use to refer to gunnels?

 

[kinardly]

Gunwales. Pronounced, oddly enough, “gunnels”. Now do you see how ridiculous this argument has become?

I call my quarter berth area "the garage". Is that ok?

I know it wasn't the fastest 50 at the time but I think it is still the prettiest. Apparently, it's been majorly updated.

Nothing like an exhilirating late season sail with an approaching storm and the occasional geyser from detonating munitions!

Mines for rounding marks?

went thru there in 2015. it is quite unnerving. Owner and navigator had gone back and forth thru the gap a bunch of times to create a track to follow on the chartplotter. There's a sunk ship very close to that light and the actual passage for a boat that draws more than 5.5' to 6' is only a few boat lengths wide. we were under headsail still at that point as wind was from SW as we went thru there.. popped the kite shortly after ...
was an amazing site to see hundreds of spins in front of you and several hundred more behind.

^^^ Two guys standing on a J24 keel to try to get it upright again after a king-sized broach was a hideous memory. Crappy little boat.

 

[P_Wop]

We sank a J24 in Italy doing that when the cockpit locker opened. It went down faster than Stormy Daniels.

DN Ice yachts.... One racing in 2022, going upwind at about 40-45 kts, one built in 1962, also buzzing along quite nicely!
Message me if you want to try this.... Happy to throw you in my loaner boat or hook you up with someone who can....
