How do sailboats sail?
With a square rigged sail, the wind simply pushes the boat along. With a fore and aft rigged sail, the wind is caught at an angle and slices on past the sail, pushing the sail hard down wind and a bit forward. A deep keel on the bottom of the sail boat tries to stop the downwind drift and, as a result of a bit of a push forward on the sail, the sail boat manages to scoot across the wind a bit.

This is due to the wind trying to push the sail boat down wind and the bottom of the sail boat (the keel) trying to stop the drift down wind. The wind is slicing off the sails and pushes the sail boat a head a bit.

How do you get the SS Anne to set sail sail while you are on board in fire red?
You don't, you get HM01 Cut from the captain. If you've gotten it and you get off the boat, it will set sail because you're done with what needed to be done there. If you haven't gotten it, it won't.
How does a sea anchor help you vessel in a storm?
hmm I think you meant "your vessel", but anyways it helps you so you may not blow off course into some random place, so when the wind dies down then they can just set sail
How does a sailing boat work?
Most sail boats use a fore & aft rigged triangular sail, also known as a Bermudan rig. Assuming this as a normal rig:- When running before the wind (pointing the same way as the wind is blowing) the sails simply catch the wind like a bag and transfers this pressure to the mast. The pressure on the mast pushes the boat along. Where Burmudan rig vessels are cleverer than a square rig vessel, is the ability to sail nearly into the wind. Intuition would predict that the wind would push the boat backwards. Having the wind fine on the bow, will cause the sail to fill with wind on one side and form an aerofoil shape, much like an aeroplane wing. The wind flows faster around the curved surface causing a drop in pressure. This imbalance in pressure causes pressure on the mast, drawing the vessel forward. The wind being on one side like this will also have the effect of pushing the boat sideways. To prevent this happening too much and preserving forward motion an effective keel is needed. The keel is a blade that sticks out under the boat in a fore and aft plane. Forward motion is alllowed by presenting the thin edge to the direction of travel and sideways movement is prevented by the broad sides of the keel causing resistance. Sailing across the wind, with the wind on the beam, either side, the sail is set like a wedge. The wind fills the sail and slides off the rear, pushing the mast (and the vessel)forward in the opposite direction.
