sailing vessels
Wind-powered boats
Sailing vessels are watercraft propelled primarily by wind acting on sails—from small dinghies to massive clipper ships.
The term is somewhat formal or technical, used in maritime law, historical writing, and navigation rules that distinguish sail from powered craft: Sailing vessels have right of way over motorboats.
A sailing vessel may have auxiliary engines but relies principally on sail.
