n.[a more common spelling than sailer. ] A mariner; a seaman; one who follows the business of navigating ships or other vessels, or one who understands the management of ships in navigation. The word however does not by itself express any particular skill in navigation. It denotes any person who follows the seas, and is chiefly or wholly applied to the common hands. [See Seaman. ]

American Oxford Thesaurus

sailor

sailor noun his mentor at sea was a well-seasoned sailor named Coates: seaman, seafarer, mariner; boatman, yachtsman, hand; informal (old ) salt, sea dog, rating, bluejacket; Brit. matelot. USAGE sailor, sailer A sailor is one who sails —always in reference to a person. A sailer is a vessel or vehicle that sails, or that moves by the use of a sail —e.g.: “The second part of the project is to launch an operational solar sailer with eight sails to be tested in an 850 -km. (528 -mi. ) circular orbit, also using a Volna rocket. ” ( Aviation Week & Space Technology; July 16, 2001.) It isn't unusual to see sailer misused for sailor —e.g.: “The current exercises involve about 15,000 sailers [read sailors ] and Marines, and include cruisers and destroyers, with nonexplosive bombs dropped from the air, according to the Associated Press. ” ( Chicago Sun-Times; Apr. 30, 2001.).Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.
