Schooner

A schooner is a type of sailing ship characterized by its tall mast and large sails, designed primarily for speed and maneuverability. Typically rigged with two or more masts, schooners often have fore-and-aft sails that run parallel to the ship's length, allowing for efficient sailing close to the wind. Historically used for fishing, cargo transport, and sometimes warfare, schooners are appreciated for their agility and ease of handling. Today, they are mostly seen as recreational or historic vessels, valued for their classic design and sailing performance.
