Triangular sails, or lateen sails, were developed to improve sailing efficiency and maneuverability. Their shape allows for better wind capture, enabling boats to sail at various angles to the wind, including into the wind itself. This design was particularly advantageous for navigating coastal waters and exploring new territories, as it offered greater control and speed compared to traditional square sails. The innovation of triangular sails played a crucial role in maritime trade and exploration during the Middle Ages and the Age of Discovery.
