Sailing vessel
A sailing vessel is a boat or ship that uses sails—large pieces of fabric attached to masts—to harness the wind's energy for movement. By adjusting the sails and steering the rudder, sailors can navigate across water without relying on engines. These vessels vary in size from small boats to large ships and are used for transportation, sport, or recreation. Sailing vessels rely on wind current and skilled handling to operate efficiently and can maneuver in different wind conditions, making them a versatile means of exploring and traveling on seas and oceans.
