But I also want to put in a good mention for their remodeling of their vessel, though I'm not sure if it's big enough to be a ship.
@alienghic recently I watch a video trying to explain the difference between boats and ships.
Their conclusion was that boats lean inwards when turning and ships lean outwards. However, their only example of a "boat" was a speedboat with outboard engines that turned. I think the lean was more caused by the difference between turning the thrust and turning rudders.
Anyway, I struggle with naming. I don't like using yacht, to me it implies a billionaire's toy.
So maybe just Sailing boat?

@SustainableSailing @alienghic The definitions I've heard:
* Almost anything you can navigate on water is a boat
* If it carries smaller boats (e.g. a tender or a dinghy) it's also a ship
* If it's a pleasurecraft and has sleeping quarters, it's also a yacht

@cwebber The street I grew up on was named after a Greek Sea Nymph, who’s name sake was given to seven British RN ships; The first of which was launched in 1776.

The Sea Shadow, a design stable enough for me to want to sail on it. Too bad it's nothing but iron filings now.
@cwebber
Moya is a fave.
@cwebber when the boss Galaga beams up your ship and you get another one and the boss swoops down with your ship and you shoot the boss Galaga and now you have two ships

"While sailing the Mediterranean Sea in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking: "Who are you?" The full-rigged ship answered: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." The Independence replied: "You are the most beautiful ship in the world." In 2022, the Amerigo Vespucci sailed by the American aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, which saluted the ship and commented: "You are still, after 60 years, the most beautiful ship in the world.""
(Personally I love Kruzenshtern the most but since she is now Russian she is sadly a bit cancelled) (yet another reason to hate Putin vehemently)
@cwebber If you don't already follow them, @DreadShips is all you need for ships so bad they sank.
@cwebber my very first ship, courtesy tween shauna
@cwebber
Real ship this time but also a rapid offensive unit. Billionaire class in this case.
The Akula, on a surprising visit to our small remote little bay earlier this year.
Ugly as sin , but honestly, if I won lottery level money I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
