Ahh, do I have a fellow sailor here? Greetings!

We sail on a Pinisi boat, it's a traditional wooden vessel...

Haha! We do buy in bulk, especially for when we go naked snorkeling, we make sure to prevent burnt butts!

Our boat isn't a yacht actually, our boat is a traditional wooden vessel. Here's a link to view it: https://www.everythingtosea.com/experiences/standard-plus/

As you can see, there are lots of areas covered in shade...

Why? Well, the epitome of being a nudist for me is feeling the range of sensations of the elements on my body. The warmth of the sun, the rush of the water, and the ripple of a cool breeze. Those sensations are magnified during sailing. And just to note, on our trips, we have a crew who takes care of all the nautical aspects of the trip. So most of the men are just relaxing naked, soaking it all in.

As for why men only... my business partner and I believe that many men are lacking quality connection with other men in everyday life. We wanted to create a safe, non-judgmental space for men to connect, in nature, far away from the rest of the world.

Great question about women... we've yet to have any interest but we'll have to think on that..

We sail in the Flores Sea (Southeast Asia) during the dry season, so it's not often that we encounter rain.

As a nudist for over 10 years, I've been "pelted" by rain on a few occasions and it's one of the most liberating experiences. The feeling of playing in the rain as a child but elevated... you feel a part of nature.
