sail's

Mast fabric's feature

Sail's is the possessive form of sail, indicating something belonging to or associated with a sail.

It appears in contexts describing parts or qualities of a sail: the sail's edge was fraying or the sail's shape caught the wind perfectly.

Less commonly, it contracts "sail is" or "sail has" in casual speech.
