I agree. I’m fascinated by the booms extending from so many of them. What kind of power would they have had to operate those booms. Sailboats didn’t have steam power. And the triangular sails on large ships? I’m not a sailor, but they look out of place. Sails like that belong on a Sunfish or a Scott. Too modern looking. IMHO.

The lanteen sails are okay, I think.
