Favorite sailing music, the list

your playlist WHILE SAILING or at anchor.

Ok, we all have Chris Cross, Sailing, Gordon Lightfoot,.. Does not have to be sailing related, could be an instrumental, a classical piece (ride of the valkyries?)

enya, sail away..

I always felt that a big plus on a sailboat is you can actually HEAR music... I go water skiing and on friends PB's and they have all kinds of super high end power amps and systems and all I can hear over the engines is a headache com'n on.

Excellent topic!

We use a variety of music on the boats. On Lady Jo for training I have Jimmy Buffet. It seems everyone expects and loves it.

For Destiny We have it all. The rougher the seas the harder the music.
35-40 kts and ACDC is on hand. Normal sailing gets the same lists already provided but also includes Erick Stone.

For relaxing or anchor I have a huge collection of classical guitar music!

No one mentioned Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young yet?

We play a bit of everything, whatever suits the mood of the moment. For smooth sailing in addition to artists already mentioned:

Keb Mo'
Nora Jones
Taj Mahal

Or how about some acoustic KT Tunstall?

No music for me, I like the silence at anchor, the sound of the boat plowing thru the waves, or the wind in the sails.

I wouldn't even consider running a gen set. Its nice to have A/C aboard, but I like the silence (and to keep it simple)

I'm kinda partial to Jack Johnson.
