Paper Airplanes and Paper Boats |
| Catamaran. The Catamaran boat is a fun craft for older grade school children to make for a number of themes including: Columbus Day, learning about Japan, Transportation, Oceans and Bouyancy. Yes, the boat will really float, but as the paper gets saturated with water, it will sink and be ruined. This can actually start a neat discussion about what made the boat float to begin with and then what made it sink. This boat is the coolest boat ever, it is quite hard to fold so you need to to have patience but it worth the trouble because the result will be a awesome boat. | |
| SailBoat. The term sailboat has a broad meaning generally including yachts, (large sailboats) and smaller vessels of many configurations, which use wind as the primary means of propulsion. Some of the variations other than size are: hull configuration (monohull, catamaran, trimaran), keel type (full, fin, wing, centerboard etc.), purpose (sport, racing, cruising), number and configuration of masts, and the sail plan. Some of the terms below have had various meanings through history, but now have a specific meaning in the parlance of modern yachting. See also the articles on sailing ships and yachts; each of these terms generally describes a larger vessel than a sailboat; however, the distinctions are blurred and the definitions vary by region and culture. At the smaller end, the distinction among sailboards, windsurfing, and dinghies can be vague. | |
| The Classic Boat. The Classic boat is easy to make, and is also a fun action toy. All over the world, the rainy season will see many kids building boats. This actually float! It can also be waterproofed to last longer. Let's start folding. | |
| Sailing Ship. Paper Sailing Ship are a toy that many a child has made since the creation of paper. It is easy to make and it can be "sailed" on any small body of water, such as a bath, a puddle, a pond or even a little stream if you don't mind possibly losing it. Sailing ship is now used to refer to any large, wind-powered, vessel. In technical terms, a ship was a sailing vessel with a specific rig of at least three masts, square rigged on all of them, making the sailing adjective redundant. In popular usage ship became associated with all large sailing vessels and when steam power came along the adjective became necessary. | |
| The Steamboat. A steamboat or steamship, sometimes called a steamer, is a ship in which the primary method of propulsion is steam power, typically driving a propeller or paddlewheel. The term steamboat is usually used to refer to smaller steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers, particularly riverboats in the USA; steamship generally refers to steam powered ships capable of carrying a (ship's) boat. The term steamwheeler is archaic and rarely used. |
