The Advantages of Tall-Masted Ships

A tall-masted ship is a sailing vessel with masts that are taller than average. The mast is the vertical pole or spar that supports the sails, and on a tall-masted ship, the mast is higher off the deck than on a typical ship of the same size. This allows for more sail area to be carried, which can improve the ship's speed and maneuverability. Tall-masted ships are often used for racing or for sailing in rough seas, where the extra height of the masts can provide an advantage.
