Three-masted training ship at sea
The large sailing vessel moves through ocean waves with its sails spread across three masts. Training ships give crews and students practical experience with navigation, teamwork, watchkeeping, and sail handling. Each mast supports ropes and spars that help hold and control the sails, and the crew must coordinate many separate tasks when the wind changes or the ship alters course.
How a sailing ship uses ocean wind
Sails do more than simply catch wind from behind. When properly angled, they can create forces that drive a ship forward even when the breeze comes partly from the side. Crews adjust the sails and steer a zigzag course called tacking when they need to make progress toward the wind.
