Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle sailing ships by rig, history, surviving vessels, sail training and modern wind propulsion, with sourced information.

A ship propelled mainly by sails, from historic merchant and naval sailing vessels to modern sail training ships, tall ships and emerging wind-assisted cargo vessels; types are named by rig, such as schooner, barque and full-rigged ship, and many survive as museum ships or replicas.

What it is for: Maritime history, heritage, training and sustainable shipping.

It can be identify rigs and ship types; find museum ships and tall ship events; find sail training opportunities; learn about wind-assisted cargo ships.

Distinguishing features

Wind-powered

Classified by rig

Historic and modern examples

Requires skilled crews

What it looks like

Vessels with masts, sails and rigging, from small traders to multi-masted tall ships.

How it is recognised

Masts and rigging types

Square or fore-and-aft sails

Sailboats are smaller recreational craft
