One analysis of wa under sail indicated "conclusively that these primitive craft are superior to a modern boat on significant points of sailing." [ 1 ] They were estimated by Anson in 1776 to be able to move at or perhaps beyond wind speed, and to have better windward pointing ability than any craft previously encountered.
Canoes were developed in cultures all over the world, including some designed for use with sails or outriggers.Until the mid-19th century, the canoe was an important means of transport for exploration and trade, and in some places is still used as such, sometimes with the addition of an outboard motor.
