Set Sail for Fail

A term used as a warning of predicted impending failure. Generally the phrase relates to any situation where the outcome has been perceived as unlikey to gather the desired result (Fail) and yet still that course of action is chosen anyway due to either ignorance, arrogance or both.

The term is also known as "boarding the failboat". A Failboat representing the action/activity that is deemed to likely end in a Fail. Noobs tend to be the captains of such vessels.

abbey sailing team

A well-rounded, lively group of elite seamen who are unafraid to face the elements of Bristol Harbor. Sailing is the favorite past time, only of course behind frisbee. We're more than a cult than anything. There is always so much room for activities! We're sweaty not cause we were watching Cops, we were fcking shit up! Exceptional in sailing, however not in driving the mini buses, these sailors will make your wetsuits wetter and your drysuits...well they'll get wet anyway. We always try to abide rule #69.3 section b- "Never screw your crew". But since the rules are more like guidelines..something is usually blowing out there other than the wind....
What can you say, we're the best ASS out there: Abbey Sailing Squadron

midget sailing

The sexual act that involves a small person.

If a man inserts his fully-stiffed penis into small person's anus/vagina, he can start to rotate the small person around his penis, thus imitating the act of turning the sailboard wheel - giving him an unique grinding sensual pleasure.

Rotation can be also invoked by slapping the small person really really hard.
