This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Italian noun 'vela' translates to 'sail' in English. It refers to a large piece of fabric that is attached to a mast or boom on a boat, which catches the wind and propels the vessel forward.
Sails have been used for thousands of years as a means of harnessing wind power for transportation. They are an essential component of sailing vessels, allowing them to navigate through water without relying solely on oars or engines.
In addition to their practical function, sails also play a role in recreational sailing and competitive sailing sports. Different types of sails, such as jibs, mainsails, and spinnakers, are used depending on the direction and strength of the wind.
