Understanding Head-Sails on Sailboats: Types and Functions
Head-sail is a nautical term that refers to the sails located at the front of a sailboat, also known as the foresails. These sails are typically deployed on the starboard side of the boat and are used to harness the wind from the front to propel the boat forward. The main head-sail is usually the largest of these sails and is often referred to simply as the "headsail." Other common types of head-sail include the jib and the genoa.
