 The sailing yachts "Maltese Falcon" and "Black Pearl" employ the rig.Every sailing ship has a sail plan that is adapted to the purpose of the vessel and the ability of the crew; each has a hull, rigging and masts to hold up the sails that use the wind to power the ship; the masts are supported by standing rigging and the sails are adjusted by running rigging.Hull shapes for sailing ships evolved from being relatively short and blunt to being longer and finer at the bow.
