Sails and oars
Vessels powered by wind in sails and designed for fast sailing in the ocean are typically referred to as sailing ships or yachts. These boats utilize the aerodynamic properties of sails to harness wind energy, allowing them to navigate efficiently across open waters. Examples include racing yachts, clipper ships, and catamarans, each engineered for speed and agility in oceanic conditions. Their design focuses on hydrodynamics and sail configurations to maximize performance.
