Difference between Sailing and Wind power

Sailing vs. Wind power

Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the water (sailing ship, sailboat, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ice (iceboat) or on land (land yacht) over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation. Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electricity.
