No the Caravel had a lateen and a square sail and was steered by rudders. The lateen sail aloud it to sail against the wind
How does a caravel work?
A caravel is a small, highly maneuverable sailing ship developed in the 15th century by the Portuguese. The lateen sails gave it speed and the capacity for sailing to windward.
What were the three technological advances in shipbuilding and navigation during early exploration?
The lateen sail, which allowed tacking into the wind, the block and tackle, which allowed the raising of large sails with less manpower, the compass and the sextant. I don't know which three your teacher wants, but these four were critical.
What is A ship with square and triangular sails?
"Square-riggers" have primarily square sails, but the jib sails are triangular.
What two improvements did the portuguese make in shipbuilding?
The invention of triangular sails allowed vessels to travel with a much higher amplitude regarding the wind. While rectangular sails permitted travelling with the wind within the aft quadrant (90º directly behind a ship), triangular sails allowed up to 140º, almost the entire aft. The invention of the sextant allowed navigation by starmapping with much greater precision and ease.

What enabled the portuguese sailors to sail into and with the wind?
Lateen Sails
What are lateen square sails?
Lateen square sails are a type of triangular sail that is rigged on a mast at an angle, allowing for effective sailing against the wind. This design combines the advantages of both lateen sails and square sails, providing improved maneuverability and speed. Commonly used in Mediterranean and Arabian sailing vessels, lateen square sails facilitated long-distance trade and exploration by enabling ships to harness wind from various directions. Their unique shape and rigging contributed to advancements in maritime technology during the Middle Ages.
How did the carvels lateen sails help sailors?
Triangular-shaped sails helped catch wind from the sides and rear.
If lateen sails were triangular what were the square sails called in medieval times?
Square sails are not truly square but rectangular with a longer long side on the bottom perimeter of the sail. They were and are referred to as "four-cornered" sails.
What are triangular sails called?
One type is the "lateen sail", but there are also jibs; Genoa & spinnaker.
What do the caravel compass and lateen sails have in common?
The caravel, compass, and lateen sails are all significant advancements in maritime navigation and exploration during the Age of Discovery. The caravel is a type of ship that utilized lateen sails, allowing for better maneuverability and speed. The compass provided sailors with reliable directional guidance, enhancing their ability to navigate open waters. Together, these innovations greatly improved the efficiency and safety of long-distance sea travel.
Meaning of caravel?
A caravel is one of the ships Columbus sailed in that has 2-4 masts and lateen sails.
What instruments and improvements to ship made sea level easier?
Instruments: Lateen sails Improvments: Caravel
