- Hull
- The outer shell of the boat.
- Mast
- The tall pole that rises vertically from the boat to support the sails.
- Boom
- A horizontal pole attached to the mast. It can swing 360 degrees around the mast.
- Mainsail
- The sail attached to the mast along its front edge, and to the boom along its bottom edge. Its angle can be changed to catch (or release) the wind by moving the boom.
- Jib
- A fixed sail at the front of the boat attached to the mast by its rear edge, and to the very front of the boat in its front corner.
- Keel
- A weighted structure on the underside of the boat that keeps the boat from flipping over when the wind acts on its sails. Without a keel, the boat would just tip over when the wind hit the sail.
- Rudder
- A paddle-like structure on the back of the boat that is used for turning the boat.
