    Sailing boats?

    Is a row boat a contraption?

      a sailing boat can be with the pulleys a row boat isn’t complicated enough to be a contraption

        I feel like a contraption needs a continuously moving bit to qualify, and the distinction from a gizmo is whether it’s hand-held or not

          Definitely a collection of doohickeys, doodads and gizmos

        I think a wind surfer could put in an application to be a contraption. I feel a sailing boat is straight up a vehicle as you could live in one.

          ok fair enough it’s a vehicle that has contraptions on it though

          A bicycle is a vehicle as well though, or am I misunderstanding something?

            A bicycle tows the line. I’m no expert in contraptions because my schooling and early career helped me work in the adrenochrome factory instead of for Lockheed Martin

      Not even making a joke here, a small boat would be called a Dinghy
