This seems like a nearly unlimited line is ships, but when you get down to it, it really isn't very much. It all depends on what you want your boat to do. If you are looking for a fun, race-type boat, a dinghy is right up your alley. If you looking to sail the open seas in style a caravel is an impressive looking ship and its easy to maneuver. If your looking for an old-style cargo ship, a fluyt is perfect. They are old, large ships that were primarily used as cargo ships for the Dutch. Some ships, such as the Koch, were made to be sailed through cold and icy waters. They have unique features about them that allow them to be undamaged from ice. One simple, easy to use ship would a sloop. These ships were also designed by the Dutch, they were probably used as exploration ships or fishing ships. Anther rather small ship was the English, bilander. They were small ships mainly used for traffic on smaller bodies of water. The junk is an ancient Chinese sailing vessel that was thought to be very innovative at the time. If you want a fast ship with multiple-masts, then a clipper is right up your alley. They were mainly used as trade ships back in the 15 & 16th century. This is just a few of the many different kinds of sailing vessels that are out there. |
