A sailboat is a type of watercraft characterized by its ability to harness the power of the wind through sails. It typically has a hull designed for buoyancy and stability, along with a mast and one or more sails that can be adjusted to catch the wind and propel the boat forward. Sailboats are often used for recreational purposes such as sailing races or leisurely cruising on lakes, rivers, or oceans. They offer a serene and eco-friendly way to explore the waters while enjoying the beauty of nature.
