Not exactly a sailing song, but someone who has purchased and outfitted a boat might relate to this..........

We had a song that was sort of our YC anthem. Needless to say it was a drinking/sailing song.

AWAY WITH RUM BY GUM

I NEVER EAT COOKIES, CAUSE THEY CONTAIN YEAST. AND ONE LITTLE BITE TURNS A MAN TO A BEAST
OH CAN YOU IMAGINE THE AWFUL DISGRACE, OF A MAN IN THE GUTTER WITH CRUMBS ON HIS FACE

AWAY, AWAY WITH RUM BY GUM, WITH RUM BY GUM, WITH RUM BY GUM, AWAY AWAY WITH RUM BY GUM THE SONG OF THE TEMPERANCE UNION

I NEVER EAT FRUITCAKE CAUSE IT CONTAINS RUM, AND ONE LITTLE BITE TURNS A MAN TO A BUM
OH CAN YOU IMAGINE THE TERRIBLE STRIFE, OF A MAN EATING FRUIT CAKE UNTIL HE GETS TIGHT.

AWAY, AWAY WITH RUM BY GUM...................

There are also lots of sailing songs from the whaling days. Shenendoah, Michael Row the Boat ashore, etc.

Fair Winds and Full Sails....
