 trips out to sea or from place to place,
select a boat which is noted for its seaworthy qualities, such as a
_whaleboat_, _seine boat_, _lifeboat_ or _Block Island model_.

If you are obliged to run ashore or to pull your boat upon a rocky or
sandy beach select a flat-bottomed craft which can be hauled out readily
without injury; while, if you want a boat for general utility, to use in
bays and harbors and in sheltered waters and yet capable of standing any
reasonable seas and ordinary storms, select a fairly deep, beamy,
round-bottomed hull such as the _Cape Cod_ or _Block Island catboat_, or
a similar model.

If your boat is merely an open boat for day sailing and short trips
almost any type will serve, such as a _dory_, a _sharpie_, a _skipjack_
or a round-bottomed or _yawl_ boat. As a rule, however, you should avoid
the true “open” boat for sailing, for in a boat without any deck it only
takes a slight puff of wind, an instant’s carelessness or a small sea to
bring the rail under water and swamp the boat.

Even a very narrow deck is far better than none at all and if the deck
has a good high “combing” or raised inner edge, the safety will be
increased a hundredfold.

Very few boats will capsize if decently handled and not equipped with
too much sail unless “tripped” by getting water over the side; but once
the rail of an open boat _is_ under water the boat will upset very
quickly, for each pound of water taken in stays on the lowest side of
the boat and has a tendency to carry the craft over still further.

A great deal depends upon the construction of the boat itself and still
more depends upon the rig or sails to be used, and before selecting or
using any boat you should be thoroughly familiar with the various parts
of a boat, its construction, its fittings and its rig and should know
what each and every part is for, as well as how to use, repair and care
for it.

Nearly everyone knows that the body of the boat
trips out to sea or from place to place, 
 choose a gravy boat which is note for its seaworthy qualities, such as a 
 _ whaleboat _, _ seine gravy boat _, _ lifeboat _ or _ Block Island model _. 

 If you are oblige to run ashore or to pluck your boat upon a rocky or 
 flaxen beach select a flat - bottomed trade which can be hauled out readily 
 without injury; while, if you want a gravy boat for general utility, to practice in 
 bays and seaport and in shelter waters and yet capable of stand any 
 reasonable seas and ordinary storms, choose a fairly abstruse, beamy, 
 round - bottomed hull such as the _ Cape Cod _ or _ Block Island catboat _, or 
 a similar model. 

 If your gravy boat is merely an open boat for day sailing and short trips 
 about any character will suffice, such as a _ dory _, a _ sharpie _, a _ skipjack _ 
 or a round - bottomed or _ yawl _ boat. As a rule, however, you should avoid 
 the true “ open ” boat for seafaring, for in a boat without any deck it entirely 
 remove a slight puff of wind, an instant ’s carelessness or a small sea to 
 bring the railing under water and swamp the boat. 

 Even a very narrow deck is far better than none at wholly and if the deck 
 has a good high “ combing ” or raised inner boundary, the condom will be 
 increased a hundredfold. 

 Very few boats will capsize if decently handled and not equip with 
 too much sail unless “ tripped ” by get water over the side; but once 
 the rail of an receptive boat _ is _ under water system the boat will upset very 
 promptly, for each pound of body of water taken in stay on the lowest english of 
 the boat and has a tendency to carry the craft over even further. 

 A great deal depends upon the construction of the boat itself and still
