These boats are usually equipped with diesel engines, even if they are slower, because they are cheaper and less dangerous than the gasoline models.
Wooden boats are not only used for fishing but for some decades have been popular as pleasure crafts. They come in an infinite variety. Two of the most common types are sailboats and motorboats.
Sailboats
Before the second world war,
sailboats were not often used for
pleasure or sport but primarily for fishing and commerical trade.
Luckily times have changed!
Now the fishing and commerical trades use exclusively motorboats.

The propeller
Have you ever asked yourself "How does a propeller work?" The answer
is easy.
It functions like a screw, turning in the water to advance or reverse the direction of the
boat.
