They are underwater habitats conducive to sustainable oyster colonies. Please see the related link below:

Leeward or Lee side is the downwind side or protected side of the vessel. This is opposite of the windward side, which is the unprotected side from the wind.

It depends on many factors. The hull shape, how the sails are rigged, how much sail area you have, the ability of the crew, the wind speed, the tide.

The triangular sail was invented beginning in the 16th century. They were first seen in the Mediterranean as single yarded lateen sails.

The front part of a ship is called the bow.

Though many have individual names here are some overall names for ropes;

I'm pretty sure that was in 1403. I hope this helped, and is 100% right.

The mast of a ship was originally a tree. Now they may be made of hollow metal, fiberglass or other synthetic material.

Ellen MacArthur is a 33 English yachtswoman who came into the public eye after finishing 2nd in the 2001 Vendée Globe solo round-the-world sailing race in her boat Kingfisher. She has gone on to fulfil an impressive sailing career breaking many records along the way.

The first asian woman to sail around the world was Ferdinand Magellan.

No. The fastest point of sailing is the broad reach whether it be starboard or port.

Actually, it depends on the boat. Each boat has a polar diagram which indicates the fastest point of sail. Sailing dead down wind is very slow, since the wind has to push the boat through the water. "Beating into the wind" or sailing close to the wind usually isn't the fastest either. The physics of the sails and keel (or dagger board) cause the boat to squirt forward - much like a watermelon seed squirts through your fingers if you pinch it. Racers take advantage of the physics of the boat and know exactly the angle to the wind to sail fastest on starboard and port (as they may vary by a few degrees).

Because classy ladies move like ships through smooth waters.

It is white.

yes

Ferdinand Magellan got the credit for that.

But the first man to do it SOLO was Joshua Slocum, back at the turn of the 20th century, in the "Spray."

Hi There is not an average speed. It depends on the length and wind direction and speed

On a sailing vessel having more than three mast, the mizzen mast is the third mast immediately aft of the main mast. It is a shorter mast than the foremast. It is often located over the stern of the boat or ship.

Correction to the above: a "Yawl" or a "Ketch" has two masts -a mainmast and a mizzen, with the mizzen sometimes located right on the transom at the stern.

The first pirate to sail was from England .His name was Sir Andrew Ashley. At first he was just looking for gold and then he found some and then he saw this boat sailing it wasn't looking for gold.The boat had some gold and so Sir Andrew went aboard and took it .This happened around the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl proved that a simple raft could have been used to cross the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian Islands. He wrote a best-selling book about the adventure, titling the book after the name of the raft, "Kon-Tiki".
