What does wires called stay hold up on a sail boat?
the masts
How do you put up a sail on a boat?
There are several ways to attach a sail to the boat. The mainsail is usually attached to a channel in the mast with a series of nylon slides sewn into the front edge of the sail. Some sails had a rope sewn into the front edge which can also be fed into track going up the mast. A third method is to have rings on the front edge of the sail which hold he main sail onto the mast. The jib ( smaller front sail) is usually attached to the fore stay ( front wire support) with a series of metal clips. Both the Jib and the Main sails are hoisted using a halyard ( a line attached to a block ( pulley) at the top of the mast.
How does a sail make a boat move faster?
It captures the available wind power, putting it to use in moving the boat. The sail interupts the wind in it's course, and naturally moves forward. As the sail is attached to a mast which itself is attached to the boat, it drags the boat along with it.A little more...The above is most accurate when running before the wind. Sails on almost all points of sail except running act more like a wing than a parachute, creating a low pressure zone in front of the sail (which sailors, pilots, and aerodynamic types call "Lift"). This low pressure zone sucks the wing or sail forward or up. The boat is indeed pulled in that vector, either at the points of attachment to a mast or a stay.

What does bit of a flyer mean?
A "bit of a flyer" is a risky move. It comes from sailing where one boat may sail off on a different tack from the other boat(s) in a race, hoping he wind will be a bit stronger. If the wind is indeed stronger, the boat will gain on or pass the field; if not, the flyer will lose ground. The safer play normally is to stay with the pack.
