sailing equipment

Sailing equipment includes tools and gear used to operate and manage a boat. Key items are the sails, which harness wind to move the boat, and the masts, which support the sails. Ropes called lines control the sails’ position, while winches help tighten them. The hull is the boat's main body, providing buoyancy. Other essentials include the rudder for steering, the keel for stability, and safety gear like life jackets. Navigation tools, such as compasses and GPS, aid in route planning. Together, this equipment ensures safe, efficient sailing and maneuvering on the water.
