sailboat parts
Mast and boom
The parts of a sailboat include the hull (the boat's body), mast (vertical pole supporting sails), boom (horizontal pole at the sail's base), rudder (steering blade), keel (weighted fin providing stability), and various lines and rigging.
Sails themselves divide into mainsail, jib, and spinnaker.
