I think it depends on what kind of sailing one is undertaking. "Souther Cross" or "Sloop John B" might be nice for a peaceful cruise under a light breeze. But, if one is racing, or perhaps taking on some heavier seas such as in the Vendee Globe race, I think Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries would be well-suited.

I’m a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot. We hold Ride of the Valkyries sacred. It’s an air assault song. Never associated it with sailing...

Kilgore: we come in low out of the rising sun and about a mile out we put on the music.

Lance: music?!

Kilgore: yah. I use Wagner. It scares the hell out of slopes...
