What makes a boat a boat? 

The 

keel, 

the rudder, 

the hull, the paint, 

the sheets and lines, 

the sails, the brakes,

the propeller, the engine. 

All 

things 

on a 

sailboat. 

But the thing that truly makes a sailboat go and a sail catch 

and hold the wind? The crew, the people, and the 

laughs of people having a good time.
