The motor of a sailing ship is its masts and rigging, which hold canvas sails to catch the power of the wind. Skilled captains manipulated different sails to harness any available breeze. A favorable tailwind would fill the large inain sails and propel the boat over the sea. A less desirable crosswind required the angled jib and staysails for conversion into forward progress.

Because shallow, rounded hulls traded speed and maneuverability for shallow-water access, the captains also used a mizzen sail to increase the rudder's ability to turn the boat. See if you can identify where all these sails would be on a fully rigged Adventure.
