Schooner Sailing Vessel

A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. The term covers a variety boats, larger than small vessels such as sailboards and smaller than sailing ships, but distinctions in size are not strictly defined and what constitutes a sailing ship, sailboat, or a smaller vessel (such as a sailboard) varies by region and culture.
Types
At present, a great number sailboat-types may be distinguished. Apart from size, sailboats may be distinguished by a hull configuration (monohull, catamaran, trimaran), keel type (full, fin, wing, centerboard etc.), purpose (sport, racing, cruising), number and configuration masts, and sail plan. Although sailboat terminology has varied across history, many terms now have specific meanings in the context modern yachting.
