Sailing yachts are boats designed primarily for sailing, using wind power to navigate through water. They typically feature sails, a hull, and a keel, which helps stabilize the vessel. These yachts can vary in size, from small dinghies to large ocean-going vessels, and are often used for recreational purposes, racing, or long-distance cruising. Many sailing yachts are equipped with amenities for comfort, such as cabins, kitchens, and bathrooms. They can be made from various materials, including fiberglass, wood, and aluminum. Popular types of sailing yachts include catamarans and monohulls, each offering different sailing experiences and performance characteristics.
