A day sailer is essentially a sailing boat that has no living
accommodation, or sparse accommodation. A Harbor 20 is one such sailboat. She and similar day sailers like the Squib,
Ajax and Yeoman can be used for Spartan cruising with the addition of a boom
tent, and minimal camping equipment. These boats are raced; indeed, they were primarily designed for racing and occasional day sailing.
Small cruising yachts such as the Leisure 17 and the West
Wight Potter are also suitable for day sailing.
There’s a lot to be said in favour of day sailing, because
it is the least demanding form of sailing. Good weather can be chosen when the
tides are suitable for a few pleasurable hours afloat, unlike cruising when it
may be necessary to sail in conditions that are far from ideal.
