Free Sailing

Pick whichever one sounds least like homework.

Some take fifteen seconds, one takes six minutes. None of them are a test, none of them need an account, and none of them end in somebody trying to sell you a boat.

  1. 01 Pick your first door There is more than one way onto a boat and the first one does not have to involve sailing. Two taps — how brave you feel, and where you are. You get: real openings near you, each with a link to whoever runs it. 2 taps~30 secNew
  2. 02 Your harbour has a superpower Every harbour is disproportionately good at something. Pick one of 2,096 and find out which. You get: one word for what your harbour is actually for. 1 tap~15 secNew
  3. 03 Your maritime personality, in five ports Five questions about a single day out. Nothing technical. You get: not a label — five real harbours, ranked for the day you just described. 5 questions~1 minNew
  4. 04 Which boat would actually suit you There are about three hundred kinds of sailing boat and most of them would make you miserable. Twelve questions about how you'd rather spend a Saturday — no sailing knowledge needed, and no question you can't answer. You get: one boat named and remembered, two more like it, and the plain reason why — quoted back from your own answers. 12 questions ~3 min New
  5. 05 Would you get in it? No questions at all. Sixty-four boats, one photograph at a time, yes or no. First reaction only. You get: the pattern in what you kept, measured against what you were actually shown — and every boat you said yes to, as a gallery you can click into. 64 photos ~90 sec New
  6. 06 What kind of sailor are you, really? The personality one. Fifteen questions about days out, harbours and weather, then a few practical ones about where you live and how far you'd travel. You get: a character — The Rope Learner, The Storm Tamer, The Board Rider and five others — then three real clubs or harbours near you, with links straight to their own sites. 15 + 14 questions ~6 min The long one
  7. 07 Where you would fit in Nine scenes rather than nine questions. Starts by asking which boat you trust least, and gets more specific from there. You get: a crew role, then one named invitation you could actually be offered — what it costs, why a club would say yes, and the nearest place that could host it. Plus the day around it: an event with a real date, somewhere to look at, and somewhere to end up. 9 questions ~4 min Most specific
  8. 08 Boat, or not? Every second-hand boat we know about, one at a time. Three answers rather than two — interested, maybe, not for me. You get: a shortlist you can save to your profile, each one linking to the seller's own page. 40 listings~60 secNew
  9. 09 Swipe the deals No questions at all. Eighty-seven real sailing offers — free taster sails, crew wanted, discounts — one card at a time. Yes or no. You get: a kept list you can open. Each card shows the country, the original language, and whether it's confirmed still live. 87 offers As long as you like No questions
