One a sloop, it depends on what you're doing. On racing boats in light air I've seen jibs up to 180%. That's a heck of a lot of sail to tack if you're soloing, and it's not super useful most of the time so you'd best be rich too, and have a Lot of bags. As a general purpose sail (i.e. if I were to have only one jib), I'd go from 90% if I sailed solo a lot in medium to heavy air up to 120% if I was in an area that was customarily light air (Laguna BEach, Calif, for instance).
It's usually called the Mainsail, or as sailors pronounce it, the "mains'l". It is sometimes called the "sheet" too, though that is more generic. +++ The "sheet" is the line that controls the sail's angle across the boat.
some sail boats have moters onley big sail boats have moters not small ones
as big as sail boats pretty small
In the Netherlands to believed the Saint Nicholas sail on a big ship Let's try a sentence that makes more sense -- In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas is believed to sail on a big ship.
There is no set size for a sail. There are standard sizes for many vessels but a boat may have more than one sail and these too, will be different.
A BIG engine or electric motor.. Or a BIG sail.
Big is a relative term.
It all depends on the size of the ship...
I learned to sail in a 7-foot long sailboat that regularly achieved 20 knots.
in a two handed sailing dinghy, the big sail is called the 'mailsail' and the smaller sail out the front is called a 'gib'
Depends how big the canal and ship are.
they are all relative terms and are subjective rather than objective i.e. they are a matter of opinion.
