Historical background
The first known painting of a sailboat can be traced back to 5000 years ago. It describes the Nile valley. In areas with similar conditions, such as Iran and Iraq, early sailing models may be seen. In the pharaoh's time in Egypt, around 3000 BC, sailing was very common. There are many simple tourist boats and fishing boats sailing regularly on the Nile.
They have a single square sail and a big stern paddle turning at the stern. At that time, people developed a mast made of wood and simple rigging to adjust the sail, making it easy to operate and accelerate.
The earliest boats were simple canoes, or boats made of animal skins covered on wooden frames. They are propelled by short wide paddles or long paddles. However, sailing has a great advantage, because its much larger hull can get power without paddling. No one knows the exact time and place when the first sailboat appeared.
Probably someone lifted a big piece of cloth on the boat and found that the wind could push the boat forward. This may happen on the Nile River in Egypt, where strong winds prevail.
