Sailboat

From time immemorial it was believed that who rules the sea, he owns the world. The history of the development of ships was extremely rapid, every practical innovation affected the fleet, and as a result, the balance of power in the world. The turning point was the invention of the sail. The first sailboats had low maneuverability, speed, high superstructures, however, the prospects were considered instantly, and very soon all self-respecting states were armed with sailboats.

The fleet got a new breath, and the authorities got another headache: how to make their own sailing ships faster, less vulnerable, more lethal. Huge capital was invested in the design of sailing ships, huge hopes for a bright future were associated with them. In the end, long and persistent optimization, thinking through every little detail, hunting for secret developments of competitors, made sailing ships not only the most powerful and fastest military vehicles of the time, they kept a balance on the verge of art and death.

Nowadays, for artists, a sailing ship is an inspiring and indescribably beautiful genre of marina; for ship modelers - a delicate, complex, but at the same time an ingenious design, which is created with your own hands, and for which you are proud all your life (that is why the prices for sailing ship models are unusually high); for poets, sailing ships are a muse, but for sailors, a sailboat is just professional nostalgia and relaxation for the soul. For the whole world, a ship with sails is art, power, history.

A sailboat sailing in full sail is a symbol of forward movement.
