Hi there!

Steam powered boats use steam to propel and move the boat, while sailboats rely in the angle of the sail and the wind to move and turn.

Hope this helps!

Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.
