Did The Chinese developed a way to move the sails of ships that allowed ships to sail into the wind for the first time?
There is definitely two ways of doing things in this world; the Eastern (Oriental) way and the Western (Occidental) way. Eastern ships used square rigged sails whilst Western ships did not. It's now being discovered that the "ancient" Chinese may have sailed into North America (stone anchors have been found up some of the rivers in North America).It appears that both Oriental & Occidental mariners were capable of sailing into the wind. Who was first? Might have to experiment with some model ships: if the Chinese square rigged vessels can sail into the wind...then there's your answerANSWER: YesGot it right out of my social studies book.

What does caravel mean in a simple definition?
a ship with triangular sails that allowed it to sail into the wind and with square sails that carried it forward when the wind was at it's back.
What were caravels and how were they better than what they replaced?
Caravels are ships! They used triangular sails that, unlike traditional square sails, allowed ships to sail against the wind. By replacing oars on the ship's side with rudders at the back of the ship, the Portuguese also greatly improved steering.
What was the difference between caravels and earlier ships?
