Sailboats have many "poles". The ones that I think you are referring to are the mast and the boom. The Mast is the Tall one that sticks up out of the hull. The is connected horizontally to the mast.

∙ 11y agoThere are 3 types of poles in science. A rotating sphere such as the planet Earth has two poles, which are where the rotation produces the minimum of motion, or which are where an imaginary axis of rotation emerges from the sphere. If an object is magnetic is has a magnetic north and south pole where lines of force can be imagined to emerge. And some objects such as water molecules have electrical poles, which are regions where there is either a positive or a negative charge.

What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
What does the s and the n mean in a magnet?
NORTH AND SOUTH
Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
What does a magnet attact?
a magnet attracts metal or steel ( this is from nick prager). And also iron.
Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?
If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.
Explain in brief the properties of magnet?
A magnet has both a South pole and a North pole. The magnetic properties of a magnet come from the alignment of electrons inside of the magnet. The North pole of a magnet will repel another North pole, but attract a South pole, and vice versa.
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
How do magnets connect?
( kingfurgill ) uhmm here's what I think: Ok, Theres magnet 1 and magnet 2, both have a south pole and a north pole. the south pole of magnet 1 connects to the north pole of magnet 2 and the north pole of magnet 1 connects to the south pole of magnet 2 ( that's what i learned at school today( ^_^ ) )
What is the North pole of one magnet will be attracted to what?
South pole of another magnet.
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.

The north pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet?
True
Can steel can attract with south pole magnet?
Either pole of a magnet can attract steel.
