Does a sail make the boat move slower or faster?
Actually, it does both depending on how you use them. The sails can move so a person sailing a boat can catch the wind by how they move the sail or they can also stop the boat by the movement of a sail or lowering the sail.
What makes the bigger sail on the boat go faster?
The larger sail area causes a larger foil to pull the boat faster.

How the sail boat works?
Wind pushes in to the sail on a sail boat, the boat then moves.answer 2It pushes only when sailing with the wind directly behind. Most of the time the sail is just like a wing, the curve of the sail causes the wind to move faster across the front of the sail (Bernoulli says faster air, less pressure), slower air behind sail (more pressure) sail generates "lift" in a horizontal direction and moves the boat. Controlling the shape of the sail and its orientation to the wind controls the lift it generates.The keel counter balances the weight of the sails and rigging and the "lift" generated by the sails, it also keeps the boat from just skidding sideways across the water.
Does a sail boat go faster in deep or sallow water?
Deep
Why does a bigger sail make the boat go faster than a smaller one?
mainly because of the larger surface area. the bigger the sail, the more wind pressure on the sail, giving you more power, more momentum, and thus sailing faster. Hope this helps~
Why does the sail boat go faster in light air?
That is not true, they go faster in high winds if the sails are set correctly.
