weekend sailor
Recreational maritime dabbler
A weekend sailor is someone who sails recreationally rather than professionally, typically only on weekends or during leisure time.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, implying limited experience or skill compared to serious sailors: He's just a weekend sailor—never been out in rough weather.
It can extend metaphorically to any amateur or hobbyist in a field dominated by professionals.
