Why was the triangular lateen sail an improvment over the old square-rigged sail?
The lateen sail was used at the same time a square sail was used, but has different uses. The square sail is fine if you have a heavy boat and always fiind a wind that is blowing in the direction you want to go. Under such conditions, a lateen sail isn't much of an improvement. It was only once boats were made lighter (to faster get from the Atlantic to the Orient) that the triangular sails were an advantage. Also, if the wind is often blowing sideways to the way you want to go, a square sail, even if angled, doesn't work as well as a lateen sail. A triangular sail actually has a bit of lift to it so you can point your boat closer to the eye of the wind and still sail. This makes it ideal for sailing in and out of harbors and along the coasts. So small boats orginated the lateen sail for dexterity.
Why harbors need indented coast line?
Indented coastlines with natural harbors provide protection from strong winds and waves, making them ideal for safe anchorage and docking of ships. The indentations in the coastline create a barrier that shields ships from harsh weather, making navigation safer and more efficient. Additionally, natural harbors can also offer strategic advantages for trade and defense.
