A sport that includes leaping over centerboard housing every time you tack causing lots of bruises and cuts on your legs; especially in a 420 (by the way - it's a type of boat - nothing to do with pot dumbasses) and if you are lucky enough not to be cut or bruised on your legs you probably have a concussion from being too slow to duck during a tack or gybe.

The Greatest Sport in the world. Where you sail a boat via the sail catching wind. You can also race sailboats in something called a regatta this is equivelent to a swim meet on a boat, consisting of a number of races where the boat who did the best overall wins the regatta.
