Why would a bigger sail on a boat go faster than a small sail?
yes
Why does the bigger sail makes the boat go faster?
Because there is more surface area for the wind to push against, so therefore increasing the speed of the boat.
Explaine why the bigger sail makes the boat go faster?
More surface area foils more wind. Actually, the wind PULLS a boat after foiling around the curve of the sail. It is the same aerodynamic theory of "lift".
If a boat has a big sail and goes faster why is it?
becos the saile is bigger sow it gets more air
Why does a bigger sail make the boat go faster than a smaller one?
mainly because of the larger surface area. the bigger the sail, the more wind pressure on the sail, giving you more power, more momentum, and thus sailing faster. Hope this helps~
Is a rowboat faster than a sail boat?

How does a bigger sail help a ski buggy go faster?
a bigger sail would mean a bigger pulling force so it would make the buggy go faster
Is a rowboat faster than a sail boat sometimes?

Does a sail make the boat move slower or faster?
Actually, it does both depending on how you use them. The sails can move so a person sailing a boat can catch the wind by how they move the sail or they can also stop the boat by the movement of a sail or lowering the sail.
Does the size of a sail increase the speed of a boat?
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.
Does a sail boat go faster in deep or sallow water?
Deep
