Sailing

When an old sailing ship was becalmed the crew had to break out the ships boats and row, towing the ship. As oars were often made of ash this is sailing by ash breeze

Yes, but it will require repeated treatments of sealant due to its' open grain. Native Americans along the Pacific coast still use entire redwood trees to fashion their canoes.

There are three to four sails on a ship. The main sail is called the main course. Sailing can be complicated at first, but once who get the hang of where all the sails are, it will be easier.

Merchant vessels sailing together was known as a convoy, much used in World War II, with escorting warships, and aircraft when possible.

The word starboard comes from Old English steorbord, which means the side from which the ship is steered. Earlier before ships had rudder on their center line to steer them they were steered using the rows. Most of the rowers were right handed, so it was common for the ships to have bigger oars on its right side to assist in steering the ship. So naturally the right side of the ship was called steorbord side of the ship. The ship would naturally berthed on the left side to avoid damage to the large oars on the right side. Earlier the left side of the ship used to be called larboard side, but it was easy to get confused in high winds between starboard and larboard. So larboard side was replaced by port side. In short the right side of the ship is called the STARBOARD SIDE and the left side of the ship is called PORT SIDE.

Yes it was a Lancer 36.

Possibly the middle east. It allowed a boat to tack into the wind

Only about 30 mimutes, unless you wax the paper (both sides) before you build it.

The halyard (a line, NOT a rope) keeps it tied up to the mast (that vertical post-thing).

A bilge is a rounded portion of a ship's hull, forming a transition between the bottom of the ship and the sides.

The very first email is a subject of some debate.

Email was available on university and research computers in the middle 1980s. It began to be accepted by 'techies' by the late 80s. The concept that almost everyone should have email emerged in the middle 1990s.

A flotilla

Yes indeed. It has been done many times
