Sailing

A turbo sail is a type of sail invented by Jacques-Yves Cousteau that uses a fixed cylinder with vents in them. It uses the pressure difference between two side of the cylinders. Here is a wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbosail

A sailing ship, also called a vessil has two masts a kell and a hull

In ship architecture, the term 'Poop deck' refers to the deck area at the stern (rear, aft) part of the ship which is directly above a stern cabin. This deck is essentially the roof of the cabin in that location. The term derives from the French word for stern (la poupe).

A main sail is literally what it says. the main sail used on a boat. It catches wind and so proppells the boat along

Reversal of the CE vice the CLR does this of course. This can occur with keel and rudder damage, strange rigging and sail choice, and bad or badly modified boat design. You can also see this if the boat is badly damaged and ballasting has changed.

From the 3 websites I just scanned., it looks like they're about 10 feet long... Er... 3 metres in length.

Sailing ships ranged in size a lot. The size of the ship depended on the purpose, and the resources of the people who built them. Caravels, which were used at the beginning of the Age of Exploration, were only 40 to 60 feet long and 50 to 60 tons. The huge Manila galleons used for carrying goods between Mexico and the Philippines were 2000 tons.

whoever owns the company that he sails for or if he owns the boat and is on a crew than the skipper of the boat

The bugeye sailboat was used for oyster dredging. It was developed in the Chesapeake Bay when the watermen of the bay found it difficult and slow going using tongs to pick up oysters from the bay.

A Schooner is a multi-masted sailing vessel as contrasted with a Sloop or Catboat which has one mast. A Schooner has a Foremast in front of the Mainmast that is shorter (or the same height) as the Mainmast. A Ketch has a Mizzenmast that is shorter than the Mainmast aft of the main but in front of the rudder post. A Yawl has a small Mizzenmast aft of the rudder post. Some Schooners have Mizzenmasts also. The principal difference between a schooner and other multi-masted sailing vessels is the fact that the sails of a schooner are primarily fore-and-aft rigged, meaning the sails are parallel to the body of the vessel; other multi-masted sailing vessels are primarily square-rigged, meaning they have sails that are principally positioned perpendicular to the body of the vessel. The difference lies in their uses: a fore-and-aft rigged vessel is most valuable in the coasting trade where it plies coastal waters up and down a shoreline. Square-rigged vessels are more useful for trans-oceanic voyages, and generally require a larger crew than fore-and-aft rigged vessels.

A fleet. If armed, an armada.

A sail locker is a compartment on a vessel used to store extra lines, life jackets, wet gear etc

It is a jib or fore sail that has a slot cut into it.

If drag could be eliminated, entirely, any sail-powered vessel can travel exactly twice as fast as the wind powering her can blow, while sailing on a beam reach; that is, at right angles to the wind. The best examples of this principle can be seen while ice-boating, when an ice-boat is supported by, and prevents making leeway with, the skates t.hat support her. Many examples of ice-boats travelling very nearly 20 knots East or West, say, in a 10-knot Northerly breeze, and so on, exist.

10-15 knots in a good gust of wind

Christopher Columbus and his ships tried to sail to India via the Atlantic Ocean. At the time, there was a common belief that sailing too far west would lead to certain death. No one really knew that the Americas existed. Instead, it was thought that there was a huge cliff or waterfall at the end of the Atlantic. So, Columbus not only sailed to see if it was possible to reach India by going west, but also sought to prove that the earth was indeed round. Did you know that upon landing in the Antilles (Caribbean Islands), Columbus thought that he had found India? ~Apple Juice

The main difference is that a barge usually does not have its own means of propulsion

Yes, there are events for men and women in Olympic sailing.

The Hughes plant burned down in 1991, I understand with all molds.

Maintain present course and speed.

The triangular lateen sail dominated the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages. The earliest evidence of it is in the 1st century BCE on a wall painting in Alexandria.
