Latin yelkeni
Latin (İngilizce Lateen, Fransızca latine, "Latin" anlamına gelir) ya da Latin yelken teçhizatı gemiyi baş kıç istikametinde yol aldıran, babafingoya belli bir açıyla asılıp, uzun serene takılan üçgen yelken. <!--
Dating back to Roman navigation, the lateen became the favourite sail of the Age of Discovery, mainly because it allows a boat to tack "against the wind". It is common in the Mediterranean, the upper Nile River, and the northwestern parts of the Indian Ocean, where it is the standard rig for feluccas and dhows.
