Sailing boat

A sailing boat (or sailboat) is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. The first distinctive difference between the different types of sailboats is their size. There are dinghies and yachts. The first are small and the latter big and more comfortable. Apart form size, sailing boats can be distinguished by hull configuration. There are boats with either single hulls (monohulls) or multihulls (catamarans, trimarans). Sailboats can also be distinguished by a further class used for racing (in regattas).
The construction mode of a sailboat has a huge influence on its sailing characteristics. Light sailing boats, such as dinghies with a sword keel, are very dynamic and react to every smallest gust of wind or steering movement. Dinghies are normally used in inland and coastal waters because of their little draught. Open seas are reserved for sailing boats with heavier keels able to counter the lateral force from the sails and thus stabilising the boat and prevent overbalancing caused by sudden gusts of wind.

Sailing has always been one of the most popular water sports. The most popular sailing areas in German are the Lake Constance and the Baltic Sea.
