Fishing boat
Back 5. Fishing boatForward

Traditionally, boats used a lateen (triangular) sail. However, now the primarily means of locomotion is the side-mounted motor-propeller system. Sails are still used to conserve fuel use during trolling operations for large predatory fish. Trolling operations are time-consuming and the boat is driven back and forth within a relatively confined area with lures and hooks trailing behind the boat.
