daysailing
Afternoon on water
Daysailing is recreational sailing done in a single day, without overnight stays aboard.
The term distinguishes casual outings from longer cruises or races: We took the boat out for some daysailing on the bay.
A daysailer is a small sailboat designed for this purpose—typically lacking sleeping quarters or extensive storage.
