Sailboat Wall Art
Well before steam engines were widely used to propel ships at sea, people had to rely on wind to navigate and sailboats made that possible. There are many vessels that can be included in this category and FramedArt.com has framed sailboat prints featuring the most important types.
They differ greatly in terms of how configuration, size, purpose but also keel type and they are used for various purposes.
Mono-hull designs are the most popular sailboats and the cutter is used for racing purposes nowadays, and is very effective in handling high winds. The system is also used by cruising boats and framed sailboat prints emphasize the grace and refinement of these vessels. Similar to the cutter is the catboat, which only has a mast and no jib, with these boats being also used for racing purposes. Now that technology has rendered with power virtually useless, sailboats are mostly used for recreational purposes and the dinghy is a shining example.
It requires little maintenance and is easy to operate, making it perfect for entertainment and sales training. The sloop on the other hand is a widespread modern sailboat, which has two sales and this simple design makes it very effective for sailing in conditions of strong winds. Yachts can also be included in this category, although these are usually larger and more luxurious, being used almost exclusively for recreational purposes. Framed sailboat prints dedicated to these vessels feature them at sea, but also docked in famous European ports.
