Yes, because if the sale is bigger it will catch more wind wich will make the boat move faster. If the sale is smaller it will catch less wind and it will go slower.

What should the power boat do when crossing a sail boat?
Generally speaking : give way, unless it is a 'commercial' powered boat. The reason: a relatively small boat with an engine can maneuver, accelerate and slow down much more easily than a sail boat. But commercial ships practically always have right of way over everyone else: because of their size and weight slowing down and maneuvering is much more difficult than for a sail boat and large ships having to swerve to avoid sail boats would create a hazard for all other ships.
