membrane materials, that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including <a href="/wiki/Sailing_ship" title="Sailing ship">sailing ships</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sailboat" title="Sailboat">sailboats</a>, <a href="/wiki/Windsurfing" title="Windsurfing">windsurfers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ice_boat" class="mw-redirect" title="Ice boat">ice boats</a>, and even <a href="/wiki/Land_sailing" title="Land sailing">sail-powered land vehicles</a>. Sails may be made from a combination of woven materials—including canvas or polyester cloth, laminated membranes or bonded filaments, usually in a three- or four-sided shape. </p><p>A sail provides propulsive force via a combination of lift and drag, depending on its <a href="/wiki/Angle_of_attack" title="Angle of attack">angle of attack</a>, its angle with respect to the <a href="/wiki/Apparent_wind" title="Apparent wind">apparent wind</a>. Apparent wind is the air velocity experienced on the moving craft and is the combined effect of the true wind velocity with the velocity of the sailing craft. Angle of attack is often constrained by the sailing craft's orientation to the wind or <a href="/wiki/Point_of_sail" title="Point of sail">point of sail</a>. On points of sail where it is possible to align the leading edge of the sail with the apparent wind, the sail may act as an <a href="/wiki/Airfoil" title="Airfoil">airfoil</a>, generating propulsive force as air passes along its surface, just as an airplane wing generates <a href="/wiki/Lift_(force)" title="Lift (force)">lift</a>, which predominates over <a href="/wiki/Aerodynamic_drag" class="mw-redirect" title="Aerodynamic drag">aerodynamic drag</a> retarding forward motion. The more that the angle of attack diverges from the apparent wind as a sailing craft turns downwind, the more drag increases and lift decreases as propulsive forces, until a sail going downwind is predominated by drag forces. Sails are unable to generate propulsive force if they are aligned too closely to the wind. </p><p>Sails may be attached to a <a href="/wiki/Mast_(sailing)" title="Mast (sailing)">mast</a>, boom or other <a href="/wiki/Spar_(sailing)" title="Spar (sailing)">spar</a> or may be attached to a wire that is suspended by a mast. They are typically raised by a line, called a <i><a href="/wiki/Halyard" title="Halyard">halyard</a></i>, and their angle with respect to the wind is usually controlled by a line, called a <a href="/wiki/Sheet_(sailing)" title="Sheet (sailing)">sheet</a>.

The direction that the craft is traveling with respect to the <i>true wind</i> (the wind direction and speed over the surface) is called the "point of sail". The speed of the craft at a given point of sail contributes to the apparent wind (<b>V<sub>A</sub></b>), the wind speed and direction as measured on the moving craft. The apparent wind on the sail creates a total aerodynamic force, which may be resolved into <i>drag</i>, the force component in the direction of the apparent wind and <i>lift</i>, the force component <a href="/wiki/Normal_(geometry)" title="Normal (geometry)">normal</a> (90°) to the apparent wind. Depending on the alignment of the sail with the apparent wind, lift or drag may be the predominant propulsive component. Total aerodynamic force also resolves into a forward, propulsive, driving force, resisted by the medium through or over which the craft is passing (e.g., through water, air, or over ice, sand) and a lateral force, resisted by the underwater foils, ice runners, or wheels of the sailing craft.<sup id="cite_ref-Clancy_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Clancy-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>For apparent wind angles aligned with the entry point of the sail, the sail acts as an <a href="/wiki/Airfoil" title="Airfoil">airfoil</a> and lift is the predominant component of propulsion. For apparent wind angles behind the sail, lift diminishes and drag increases as the predominant component of propulsion. For a given true wind velocity over the surface, a sail can propel a craft to a higher speed, on points of sail when the entry point of the sail is aligned with the apparent wind, than it can with the entry point not aligned, because of a combination of the diminished force from airflow around the sail and the diminished apparent wind from the velocity of the craft. Because of limitations on speed through the water, displacement sailboats generally derive power from sails generating lift on points of sail that include close-hauled through broad reach (approximately 40° to 135° off the wind).<sup id="cite_ref-Jobson2_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jobson2-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Because of low friction over the surface and high speeds over the ice that create high apparent wind speeds for most points of sail, iceboats can derive power
