Various Types

Throughout history, the standard sailboat has greatly evolved from the simplistic design of the original boat. Single mast and simple sailboat styles do remain popular in the industry and are known as yawl sailboats, but there are also many other types that offer advantages for the modern sailboat enthusiast.

Other forms of sailboats popular in the industry are ketches, cutters, and catboats just to name a few. Each one maintains unique attributes such as multiple masts and keels, but when speaking to an avid sailboat enthusiast, you will come to discover that each person has their own preferred genre of vessel.

Hull Systems

The average sailboat maintains a deep V hull configuration for slicing through the water. Stability varies depending on the size of the masts and configuration of the sails. To account for the more unstable sailboats, many boaters opt for multi-hulls sailboats that provide added stability. These vessels are known as catamarans and some with three hulls are called trimarans.

Propulsion

With the typical sailboat, propulsion is accomplished through the network of sails. When the sails are turned to catch the wind, the boat moves forward. It is a system that has worked for generation and still is the primary source for propulsion on most sailboats.

Certain sailboats do maintain a motor. These motors typically are inboard configurations with a rudder system, but a few styles maintain outboard engines that work as rudders instead of a separated system. Most engines are simply auxiliary power sources.

For the small sector of the sailboat industry that utilize propulsion primarily through the engines, the structure of the sails is a bit different. The sails become the auxiliary system and therefore are much smaller than the traditional sails.

Accommodations

Sailing yachts have become among the most highly coveted vessels on the market today as they maintain available onboard power with a fuel-efficient travel option. Accommodations for sailing yachts can be very large and depending on the LOA and requirements of the vessel, sometimes have a need for a full crew with onboard accommodations as well.
