day sailer
Recreational sailing vessel
A day sailer is a small sailboat designed for short outings rather than overnight trips—typically under 20 feet, with an open cockpit and minimal or no cabin space.
Day sailers prioritize simplicity and responsiveness over accommodations: We took the day sailer out for a few hours on the lake.
Also spelled daysailer.
