unknown boat: "Coastguard, Coastguard, this is boat so and so requesting assistance."

Coastguard: "This is the Coastguard, describe your vessel and situation."

unknown boat: "We are a white 32 foot sailboat and our engine has stopped.... we are off such and such point..."

Coastguard: "You are a sailboat?" "Does everyone have lifejackets?"

About that time I usually stop listening... and start to wonder... "sailboat?" Like with sails? Hmmm breezy day... sailboat?
