Question

how does a sail help in the movement of a sailboat​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the boat tips to one side, the long, flat keel submerged underneath the hull, pivots upward with the motion of the boat, creating a sideways force in the opposite direction because of the amount of water it displaces as it moves. When tacking successfully, these equal, opposing sideways forces cancel each other out.

Answer 2

Answer:

Together, the forces of drag, from the water, and the pressure from the wind against the sail itself push the craft forward. It moves at an angle opposite the direction of the wind, called windward in sailing terminology
