"A 2018 review of Maritime Transport (UNCTAD) calculated that there are 50,732 active ships around the world—including those at seas and in port.
There are many ways to keep track of all this traffic and do maritime tracking. AIS tracking websites such as the aptly named MarineTraffic operate over 2000 automatic identification system (AIS) stations in over 165 countries across the globe."

And another one being prepared for launch with two people.
Here you can see the #boat's features (or lack thereof) a bit better.
Launching of a Catalan catamaran (a.k.a. #Patí de vela) at Port Olímpic in #Barcelona.
It has no boom, rudder or centerboard, and the skipper steers it by moving along the width and length of the #boat.
This is a local design from the mid-XX century and is easy to find at municipal and private #sailing clubs in Barcelona.
