What is the difference between daysailing and cruising?
A. Daysailing is what it implies, more or less. While one could do some overnighting/camping on a daysailer such as the J/22, but it would not be comfortable for more than one or two nights at most. Cruising implies going out sailing for multiple days covering a long distance. Our cruising class teaches more advanced sailing theory in addition to boat systems and more detailed coverage of information that one would need to know to spend multiple days on the water.
