Is 31' a large sailing vessel or a small craft? We've done a few overnight passages with Grace (while carrying a pair of 74's and a gaggle of frigates and SoW's inside).
Yes! On a large sailing vessel
Yes, but on a small craft or dinghy
Well, it didn’t have sails...
Sailing vessel but it was on a lake, river, or inlet.
Hey, I was on a cruise ship. Does that count?
Surf’s up! Surf board, paddle board, kayak.
I waded into the water.
I got my toes wet.
Lubber.
Lubber. But I did polish up the handles on the big fromtdoor!

The US Coast Guard is exceedingly vague about what constitutes “small craft”. Basically, from their standpoint, anything threatened by conditions is small craft, which would seem to mean that it is a sliding scale. Having been on 30 footers on the Pacific, I’d call them small craft. The largest I’ve sailed on was the Serena, which I think was around 90 feet, and intended to sail vast distances on the open ocean, and I’d probably rate above small craft (though if things got bad enough, the Coast Guard would say was small craft). So...at your discretion to what you regard as small craft, I suppose.Originally Posted by Dobbs
From my perspective of sailing in dinghies, anything larger than one with two sails is a large craft.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
