Sailing Boat
A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails and is smaller than a sailing ship. Distinctions in what constitutes a sailing boat and ship vary by region and maritime culture. Types Although sailboat terminology has varied across history, many terms have specific meanings in the context of modern yachting.

A cabin or berthing is an enclosed space generally on a ship or an aircraft. A cabin which protrudes above the level of a ship's deck (ship), deck may be referred to as a deckhouse. Sailing ships In sailing ships, the officers and paying passengers would have an individual or shared cabin. The Captain (nautical), captain or commanding officer would occupy the "great cabin" that normally spanned the width of the stern and had large windows. On a warship, it was a privileged area, separate from the rest of the ship, for the exclusive use of the captain.
