Modes that move a vessel by an unusual means or in an unusual place: the wind acting on sails, which carried most of the world's sea trade for centuries, and the passage of a vessel below the surface of the water. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the mode sailing, travel under sail or submarine transport. It excludes engine driven ocean shipping, inland waterway transport and fast water craft such as hovercraft. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.

Sailing employs the wind-acting on sails, wing sails or kites-to propel a craft on the surface of the water (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, 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.
