(54) A sailboat


(57) A sailboat is provided, which could use left and right jibs alternately to operate the sailboat without using mainsail. The advantages of the sailboat are the shorter route to the destination, and more efficiently and economically in production. The mast of the sailboat is set on the centerline of the sailboat. A function of helm that turns the sailboat towards the windward can be substituted by hanging the jib on the mast set from midship to stern in the centerline of the sailboat. In addition, when the sailboat sails downwind, one end of each jib on the starboard side and the port side could be untied to make jibs become spinnakers. If sailor wants to use a traditional spinnaker, it also could be rigged by connecting the traditional spinnaker to the mast-end and the starboard side and the port side.
