Urban Sail 

When a breeze kicks up and your umbrella becomes either uncontrollable, inverts itself in your hands, or flies from your grip.

Synonyms: urban kite, umbrella sail, umbrella kite

"Umbrellas are a pain in the ass. Sure, they protect your head and shoulders from the rain, but the second the slightest breeze kicks up, you suddenly find yourself the unwitting mast for an urban sail that, best case scenario, inverts itself in your hands, and worst case scenario, flies from your grip, whips down the street and spears the Pope in the neck." - Tracy V.

Caravel Sail

The Caravel Sail is a sail that evolved from Lateen Sails both of which have strong Austronesian influences.

Yes — there is strong circumstantial and structural evidence that the caravel sails of the Portuguese, especially their lateen rigging, were influenced by earlier Austronesian sailing technology, particularly the crab-claw sail used on paraw and proa vessels.

Let’s break this down:

---

🔹 1. Portuguese Caravel and Lateen Sails

The caravel (15th century) was the main exploration ship of Portugal during the Age of Discovery.

It used lateen sails (triangular sails on angled masts), which allowed it to tack against the wind, unlike square-rigged European ships.

This innovation was critical for long-distance ocean voyages, including to India, Africa, and later Asia and the Philippines.

🔹 2. Austronesian Crab-Claw Sails — The Original Triangular Sails

Austronesians had already been using crab-claw sails for over 3,000 years before the caravel.

These sails were highly efficient, capable of upwind sailing, speed, and maneuverability.

Found in:

Philippine paraw

Indonesian prahu

Micronesian proa

The mast was often tilted forward, similar to the lateen sail structure.

The Caravel Sail made the Age of Exploration possible.
