Hi Everyone: Just listening to boat to sail. Listen to the harmonies,totally incredible. It remains my favourite Carpenter song to this day. I never get sick of listening to this track. Karens vocals on this track, shows how happy she felt at this time. Probably would have made a good choice for a hit.

Howdy!
I love BOAT TO SAIL. I love the phrasing she does, and only Karen can do so well. It's like you get to hear a new hip side of her at that time...1976. And I love when she sings during the fadeout, "DeShannon is back!" which is the same as Captain and Tenille singing at the end of LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, "Sedaka is back!"
My thoughts,
Cameron

Boat To Sail is tops among my MANY favorites. It's so light and airy....as though (during the instrumental section) one is walking on a cloud or such.  |

It's funny, but I have always managed to think that BOAT TO SAIL, and the 1983 VOICE OF THE HEART song SAILING ON THE TIDE reminded me somewhat similar of each other. I love both songs!!

"Boat To Sail" is one of my all-time favorite Carpenters songs. It has been since 1976. It's one of those experimental type Carpenters songs which blends rich vocals with fine tuned instruments and some effects to make things interesting. This song really does have that "walking on clouds" effect. Love it.

 Boat To Sail has never been one of my favorites. I will have to listen to it again a few more times to see if there is something I am missing. You spoke of harmonies...I always loved the harmonies in "I have You." Karen and Richard blend so well. "I have you" always reminded me of a beautiful and peaceful lullabye.

One of my favorites too. This is one of Richard's best arrangements. I agree with the walking on clouds thing. It's my favorite song from A Kind Of Hush.

A favorite of favorites. I really like the vocal effects. This is such an unusual song for Carpenters to do. I wish they would have done more like this one.
