There are several ways to attach a sail to the boat. The mainsail is usually attached to a channel in the mast with a series of nylon slides sewn into the front edge of the sail. Some sails had a rope sewn into the front edge which can also be fed into track going up the mast. A third method is to have rings on the front edge of the sail which hold he main sail onto the mast.
The jib ( smaller front sail) is usually attached to the fore stay ( front wire support) with a series of metal clips. Both the Jib and the Main sails are hoisted using a halyard ( a line attached to a block ( pulley) at the top of the mast.
the pole that holds up the sail is called the mast
on the sail boat, it is holding the sail up
A boat can sail into the wind by sailing backwards and forwards (tacking) at an angle to the wind and so making her way up.

A mast. Although it is attached to a mast the thing that holds a sail up is a halyard. a mast is something that pushes the boat with wind and the reason its called a mast is cause it holds the biggest sail, the thing your looking for is something that is on the bottom of the boat and runs vertical on the boat. if that gets ruined the boat is ruined, unrepairable
A sailing boat can not sail directly upwind, sail at about 45 degrees to the wind and tack (turn the boat through the wind) to the other side of the wind and continue in this zig-zag manner up wind.

The halyard (a line, NOT a rope) keeps it tied up to the mast (that vertical post-thing).
