EVOLUTION OF SAILING
- The primary type of sailing ship was the square-rigger.
is designed to have the wind push on it from the back and propel the boat forward.
As technology improved , sails began to be cut differently into the more familliar triangular
shape.
the material also changed from natural fabrics like hemp and cotton to nylon and polyester.
it wasnt actually anything to do with the sail that caused the massive change from square
riggers to modern boats with more points of sail.
