The in-depth knowledge about sailing vessels, large and small, as well as the terms and principles of sailing.

The skill also includes being able to judge, evaluate, and repair sails, ropes, and rigging (every sailor has to be handy with a needle and thread), and operate the pumps needed to remove the water that collects in the bilge, as well as knowing how to braid rope, and the basics of cleaning and maintaining a vessel.
