Sail
A sail is a tensile structure—which is made from fabric or other membrane materials—that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including sailing ships, sailboats, windsurfers, ice boats, and even sail-powered land vehicles. Sails may be made from a combination of woven materials—including canvas or polyester cloth, laminated membranes or bonded filaments—usually in a three- or four-sided shape. A sail provides propulsive force via a combination of lift and drag, depending on its angle of attack—its angle with respect to the apparent wind. Apparent wind is the air velocity experienced on the moving craft and is the combined effect of the true wind velocity with the velocity of the sailing craft. Angle of attack is often constrained by the sailing craft's orientation to the wind or point of sail. On points of sail where it is possible to align the leading edge of the sail with the apparent wind, the sail may act as an airfoil, generating propulsive force as air p ...

Sail (Lake District)
Sail is a hill in the English Lake District, lying between Derwentwater and Crummock Water. Topography The North Western Fells occupy the area between the rivers Derwent and Cocker, a broadly oval swathe of hilly country, elongated on a north-south axis. Two roads cross from east to west, dividing the fells into three convenient groups. The central sector, rising between Whinlatter Pass and Newlands Pass, includes Sail. The highest ground in the North Western Fells is an east-west ridge in this central sector, beginning with Grasmoor above Crummock Water and then gradually descending eastwards over Crag Hill, Sail, Scar Crags and Causey Pike. Sail is in every sense a satellite of Crag Fell, although having sufficient prominence to be listed as a Hewitt. From the summit of Crag Hill the eastward ridge narrows between opposing walls of crag. This rocky crest is The Scar, the depression being at around 2,425 ft. The roughness decreases as the rounded top of Sail is reach ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

His influence on later Russian literature is still felt in modern times, not only through his poetry, but also through his prose, which founded the tradition of the Russian psychological novel.

Sail (letter)
Sail or Saille (ᚄ) is the Irish name of the fourth letter (Irish "letter": sing.''fid'', pl.''feda'') of the Ogham alphabet, meaning "willow". The name is related to Welsh ''helyg(en)'' and Latin ''salix''. Its Proto-Indo-European root was *''sal-'' meaning "dirty,grey". Its phonetic value is Interpretation The etymology and kennings unambiguously confirm the meaning "willow" for this letter name. The ''Morann mic Moín'' kenning is a reference to the sallow grey appearance of the bark of this tree, while the kennings referencing bees and honey are due to its being commonly pollinated by bees. Bríatharogaim In the medieval kennings, called '' Bríatharogaim'' (sing. ''Bríatharogam'') or ''Word Oghams'' the verses associated with ''sail'' are: ''lí ambi'': "pallor of a lifeless one" in the ''Bríatharogam Morann mic Moín'' ''lúth bech'': "sustenance of bees" in the ''Bríatharogam Mac ind Óc'' ''tosach mela'': "beginning of honey" in the ''Bríatharogam Con Culainn''. ...
