Does quilting get to be one? Or does it fall under sewing?

I don't know whether sailing is more of a Sporty or an Outdoorsy hobby, but you should include it IMO. :D It cam be done as a solo or a team sport if you race, and it can be just a fun outdoorsy hobby if you just have a boat and enjoy sailing.
