Sailboats

Does anything look more serene
Than sailboats in a harbor scene?
Their stark white jibs and hulls that glide
A sense of peace and calm provide.

I've only seen them from the shore,
Not having been in one before,
But I am grateful they're a'sea
When near the water I can be.

Though other boats with foamy wakes
Look lovely, I would wager stakes 
That none of them with sudsy trails 
Could soothe like any boat with sails.
