What was the first sailboat made of?
Many societies in prehistoric times built sailboats, from the Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesian islands to the Egyptians and Phoenicians. The development was most notable in the Mediterranean Sea, and the waters around SE Asia. By the time of the European explorers of the 14th and 15th century, sailboats had become ocean-going ships. These ships, which visited nearly all the regions of the world, had an influence on the world's global cultures from that point on.

What is the line called on the side of a ship?
The line at the lower part of the hull is the water line. Its location shows if a ship is riding high in the water or if it can't be seen then a ship is riding low in the water.
What is the force that moves the boat through the water?
It's lift. Like an airplane wing, a sail is an airfoil only vertical. As it passes through the air, the curved shape of the sail causes the air on the outside of the sail to go further and therefore, faster, than the air on the inside of the sail. According to Bernoulli's Principle, when the airflow increases, the pressure drops so the pressure on the underside of the airfoil becomes greater and "lifts" or pushes the sailboat along. See the link below for more information on Bernoulli's Principle.
What were sailing innovations?
Some recent innovations in sailing are the use of carbon fibre in sailboat constuction. Another innvation was putting roach in mainsails. Another innovation was the use of hydrofoils.
What are the duties of a deckhand?
Sharp mind, eyes, and quick reflexes will help you to board passengers, embark on voyages, tend ropes, lines, sails, and/or motor(s), clear the decks, swab the decks, stow anything properly where everyone can find it, deliver messages to/from anyone else on board, follow Captain's orders (to the letter, preferably) watch for other vessels or sailing dangers (there are many), listen and relay radio messages, paint the boat/ship while it is moving, dock the craft & disembark passengers.

What was sailors worst punishment?
Sailors' worst punishment historically was often the practice of flogging, where they were whipped as a form of discipline for various offenses. This brutal punishment could cause severe physical pain and long-lasting scars, serving as a public deterrent to other crew members. In extreme cases, sailors could also face execution or being marooned on a deserted island, which was a fate worse than death for many. Such punishments reflected the harsh realities of life at sea during earlier centuries.

How do you make a small hole in metal wider eg to fit in a pin?
By hand using a rat tail file, or use a drill slightly lager than the existing hole
Hull speed is the theoretical limit of a sailcraft's speed. It can be approximated by the following formula: 1.34 * SQRT(LWL), where LWL is the length of the waterline, in feet. As a small vessel approaches its hull speed, the hull begins to climb its own bow wave. The faster the vessel tries to go, the more difficult climbing the bow wave becomes. Eventually, should the hull type permit it, the hull will begin to hydroplane (skimming across the water.
What are the features of a ship?
body (or hull)
method of steering (wheel or tiller)
method of power (engine, motor, or sails)
it SHOULD float

What is the the third mast on a sailing ship called?
On a three-master, from stern to bow, it's Mizzen, Main, Fore. The third mast aft of a mainmast on a ship having three or more masts is called a mizzenmast. My friend Joe is exactly right. For a 3-master, starting at the stern (or the rear end of the boat), you have: * Mizzen * Main * Fore
