Sailing courses conducted in the slip introduce beginners to the rigors of sailing, explore safety rules, and explain vernacular from the bow to the stern, all without a need for a life preserver. The group of 12–14 students can begin its lessons with a tour of the yacht and ask questions about its operation. Each participant will also receive a take-home booklet of the sailing vernacular they heard, with everything from bollard to baggy wrinkle.

Yacht Sylvia Sailing

Yacht Sylvia is a 56-foot, 35-ton staysail ketch designed in New Zealand by naval architect John Alden. Launched in 1973, the yacht has circumnavigated the globe on multiple occasions, survived hurricanes, and now ferries passengers and students to remote destinations. The below-deck interior features a maritime museum with artifacts from around the world displayed on the bulkhead and countertops. Sailing lessons range from two-hour tours and explanations of basic sailing techniques to three-week immersive trips abroad during which participants learn as they perform crew duties. In addition, Yacht Sylvia Sailing can host charters for up to six to international destinations including the Channel Islands and the Sea of Cortez.

The Groupon Guide to: Dog-Show Breed Standards

With billions of viewers and ad revenue through the roof, it’s no secret that everybody loves watching dog shows. But what do they judge these pedigreed pooches on? Hint: the things in this guide:

1. Is the Dog Crying? A sad dog is never a winning dog. An exemplar of the breed should be happy and boisterous, not a gross crying mess. Plus, the only dogs even capable of crying are genetic aberrations.

2. Has the Dog Eaten a Judge’s Finger During the Process? Only one dog (a mastiff named Grandmaster Waddlesplint) has ever won after consuming a judge’s finger. (It was only a pinky.)

3. General Dogliness: Is this really a dog? Not a pile of ants or a popular wooden toy? How much of a dog is the dog? Like, way dog or just some dog? This is generally the most important.

4. Telepathy Test: No dog has ever passed this test, but judges are holding out hope.

5. Pick Your Favorite: None of this matters. The judges just pick their favorite dog.

Is that dog really a dog?
