Additionally, it provides stability to the sailboat by balancing the forces acting on the sails.

For example if a boat has four jibs, say a 170, a 150, a 110 and a storm jib, then the 110 would be considered the number 3 jib and the storm jib would be number 4.
What is the front sail called?
The front sail of a sailboat is called the "jib." It is typically triangular in shape and is set ahead of the main mast, allowing for better maneuverability and efficiency in catching the wind.
