Sailboats

Sailboats are vessels that move across water primarily using sails, which catch the wind to generate propulsion. They typically have a hull for buoyancy, a mast to hold the sails, and a rudder for steering. The interaction between the wind and sails creates lift, allowing the boat to glide forward and often tack, or change direction, against the wind. Sailboats can vary from small single-person boats to large ships, and they are used for recreation, sport, and transportation. Their design balances stability, maneuverability, and efficiency to harness wind power safely and effectively.
