Why in the world do navies still use sailboats to train crews for modern warfare. I've gone off shore in both sail and power, and can't think of anything useful that couldn't be learned on modern warships.
I suspect the navies really keep them around as toys for the admirals et al. I get so sick of military bullshit.
