  • Comment: I'm not sure that it's really accurate to describe a vessel as "sail-powered", although I've seen a few sources use that term. A more precise term is Wind-assisted propulsion, but I'm not sure of the best way to phrase that in a DYK hook.

• As ever, there's the conflict between snappiness of a hook and technical accuracy, but since there's "designed to use sails as the main propulsion" in the article, the piped wikilink in 'wind-propelled cargo ship' would seem a reasonable compromise...

• This article is just long enough, new, and very well cited. Interesting topic that could really use an image! I understand Yadsalohcin's concern, but I really don't think this is an issue in this case. All that's needed is the QPQ. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

  @Maury Markowitz: Thanks for the review! I just completed my QPQ; sorry for the delay on that. There was an image used on the French wiki but it was unfortunately a copyvio. Hopefully a properly-licensed image can be added at some point. Zeibgeist (talk) 00:58, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
