Sure is. Example to point was that the great sailor, sir Francis Chichester, was actually an aviator who gave flying when he was mistakenly diagnosed with cancer; his own aircraft was a Gypsy Moth and he retained that name on each of his four yachts. His role, during WW-II was to train aviator in navigating over open ocean. A huge amount in common although calculating drift is a bit more complicated in a yacht.
