3. 3. Portuguese designed the caravelcaravel, a small ship that moved quickly and handled well and could sail against the wind.
The caravel was an improvement on older ships because it could sail very fast and also sail well into the wind (windward). Caravel planking on the hull replaced thinner, less effective planking. Caravels were broad-beamed ships that had 2 or 3 masts with square sails and a triangular sail (called a lanteen). They were up to about 65 feet long and could carry roughly 130 tons of cargo. Caravels were smaller and lighter than the later Spanish galleons (developed in the 1500's).Source: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/page/c/caravel.shtml
