a sail boat is heading straight at you
To sail against the wind, a boat has to 'tack'. This means that instead of sailing straight into the wind (which would get you nowhere) you sail in a zig-zag in the direction you intend to go. On each tack, the wind is on a different side of the sail.
Use a string for a straight line.
The wind hitting the sail at an angle upwind pushes it sideways which is why you zigzag. Downwind wind hit sail straight on
A sail boat or yacht.
The halyard (a line, NOT a rope) keeps it tied up to the mast (that vertical post-thing).

The halyard holds the sail up. When a rope has an assigned job on a boat (or a ship) it is referred to as a line.
