Caravel Academy is a private small ass school located in the middle of bumble...aka Bear, DE. The typical boys located at this school are 4'11" with the maturity level of a 5 year old. The majority of the white boys wish they were black and try to be "thugged out" to imitate their black classmates, who in fact also think they are gangsta, but are really pussies as well because, who can really be gangsta at Caravel? The girls here thrive on drama and do not believe in "keeping their pants on". Every wigger at Caravel has hooked up with a girl-then her best friend-then her arch enemy. Every other "non wigger" loser at Caravel is still a virgin and relies on his right hand. 95% of the girls of Caravel are not virgins and most of these girls are pure idiots and don't realize they are really classified as sluts.
I had a weird craving to eat some fish for dinner last night...so I went and found a girl from Caravel.

Get the caravel academymug. 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.
