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.
