A vessel may be defined as an object that keeps water either in or out; it is the latter sort that concerns us.
-Roger C. Taylor, The Elements of Seamanship
A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble.
-E.B. White, The Sea and the Wind that Blows
One object there is still that I never pass without the renewed wonder of childhood, and that is the bow of a boat...It is a simple work, but it will keep out water. -John Ruskin
