because there is always a great deal of huzzle around her; there is usually a gang of men about; she has waist and stays; it takes a lot of paint to keep her good looking;
it is not the initial expense that brakes you, it is the upkeep; she can be all decked out, it takes an experienced man to handle her correctly; and without a man at the helm, she is absolutely uncontrollable.
She shows her topsides, hides her bottom, and when coming into port always heads for the buoys.
