What is a "sailboat"?
A sailboat is a type of boat that uses sails to catch the wind and move. The sails are large pieces of fabric attached to poles, and when the wind blows, it pushes the sails, which makes the boat move forward. Sailboats can vary in size, from small ones for recreation to larger ones used for racing or long trips. They have a steering wheel or tiller to control direction, and the sail area can be adjusted to control speed and direction. Sailboats are popular for both leisure activities and competitive sailing.
Example
