A sailboat operates by sail (wind power), and on occasion, maybe partially by engine. Having to rely on sails to power your progress may seem daunting to some, but for others it is pure joy. There are not many things as fun and exciting as riding a sail boat as it is on the edge. There are several different design types and each serves a unique function.
