The billowing sail let out from the front of yachts is called a headsail or jib. It is used to catch the wind and help propel the yacht forward, often working in conjunction with the mainsail. The headsail can be adjusted in size and shape to optimize performance based on wind conditions. Common types of headsails include the genoa and the storm jib.

Do land yachts travel faster with a big or small sail?
Dear whoever asked this question, I think land yachts travel faster with a larger sail because it catches more wind. However, if you want it to go really fast, you should try to make it as streamlined as possible. When making it streamlined, you might want to add a small piece of fabric at the baf just to catch more wind. Hope this is useful... Christmasgrl :)
