Sailing remains a popular sport and Activity!

 Classic sail ships are the pride of many navies?

Many uses for sail ships have been found over the years in young peoples self-improvement programms and other leisure activities, apart from training naval crews in discipline and other!

Maintaining is one aspect of them, but rebuilding has also lead to many construction mistakes in the deign and at other times success in discovering new things that were lost?

Modern sail yachts are the state of the art today with the demands of better vessels for racing and others being sold on for avid sailors and for pleasure, if not also featuring in many movies and other!

Yachts.

Yachting...

The modern Yacht captures the charm and the challenges of the sail ship on a much smaller scale. But to captain or work a Yacht is a very demanding event, especially in a racing event or a single handed around the world trip.

Yachts are for pleasure and sport, but in earlier days some were used in world exploration trips. Racing yachts of various types have helped in the development of improved hull design in bigger ships and military patrol vessels. Speed and stability are the two keys to ship design improvements.

As a carrier they have only really become associated with the smuggling and illegal importation of narcotics.

Motorbikes...

Cycles


When we put the engine on the bicycle man invented the motor bike and with it came the horse on two wheels.


This form of transport came into its own right from the day it was conceived, as a messenger service vehicle. But today it is used by courier services, the police and paramedics. 


In the so-called third world the Rickshaw has been motorised to great effect as a little road vehicle. Many businesses have stemmed from this conversion.


There have been additions apart from the trike, there is also the fitted side cars, which I am now told are luxury compared to the old days. 


Sport has seen these machines improve into super everything and why not.


Triumph, Honda, Suzuki, BMW, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Laverda,  Neval, Yamaha, Piaggio, Norton.
