Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Sailboat
How to Draw a Great Looking Sailboat for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by outlining the deck, bow, and stern of the boat. Use a long curved line for the deck, doubling it back upon itself to form the stern or back of the boat. From the front of the ship, extend a curved line, and double it back upon itself. You should outline a narrow shape. This marks the bow or the front of the boat.

2. Continue the curved line of the deck on the opposite side of the bow, continuing to outline the boat's hull. Beneath the point of the bow, draw a vertical curved line, indicating the contours of the lower bow. Then, draw a curved line down each side of the hull.

"Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing."
- "Beyond the Sea," song by Frank Sinatra
Sailboats or sailing ships are "propelled partly or entirely by sails" that catch the wind. Sailboats are also known as sloops, cutters, catboats, dinghies, ketches, schooners, and yawls, depending on their design.
The first sail-driven boats were invented thousands of years ago. The oldest evidence of these vessels come from both the South China Sea in Asia and the Mediterranean Sea, which abuts Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
