A bowsprit is a projecting beam or spar located at the bow (front) of a boat, typically extending forward beyond the hull. It serves several purposes, including providing support for the forward sails, such as the jib or genoa, and allowing for better sail shape and performance. Additionally, the bowsprit can enhance the vessel's stability and maneuverability, particularly in larger sailing ships.
