A '''boat''' is a [[vehicle]] which floats on [[water]]. There are two main ways to efficiently move a boat: catching the [[wind]] ([[sailing]]) or pushing on the water (by [[rowing]] or having some [[propulsion]] device).

Boats vary in size tremendously, from those tiny little ones barely bigger than your own body up to massive freight or [[battleships]]. It is possible to have a community live self-sufficiently on a ship, and we have all heard stories of such staying out on the sea for extended periods of time to be free of the [[law]]s of any [[country]] one might otherwise live in...

Historically, the main form of transport was by sea, and was even more important than [[road]] or [[rail]]. Thus we have plenty of [[canal]]s and [[docks]] to cater for our ships. Indeed, perhaps the only disadvantage to sea transport is it generally isn't very fast.
