A bowsprit is a structural extension of a ship's bow, projecting forward from the main hull. It serves several purposes, including providing support for the foremast and allowing for the attachment of sails, particularly headsails like jibs. This feature enhances the vessel's stability and performance under sail by improving airflow around the sails. Bowsprits are commonly found on traditional sailing ships and yachts.
