Beautiful picture....... Comparative shipbuilding 101....... Where did you take this picture? I know some about junks but I am interested to know how the sails work. What is the theory behind them? Thanks for reminding me that the answer is out there.

This was taken in the Kaohsiung Harbor of Tiawan. https://mappoint.msn.com/(xzn5kvrpylog2i55zcovi455)/MPSvc.aspx?MPMtd=M&ID=27CiJ.&L=WLD&C=22.6479997342 933%2c120.2779869649941&A=170&S=800%2c740&PN=10020 91454&P=|ed|&UA=5333,307.5,1&gb=8
