I think sailing and free software have in common the type of freedom that is not unlimited, necessarily constrained by the reality of sharing a planet with billions of other primates. There are a lot of rules one must follow to share the pacific ocean (especially the parts close to land) with other people, but that doesn't make travel under wind power any less captivating.

Also, the Yamaha 33 is an impressively tiny and light boat for the sailing they're doing, let alone living and working on.
