Default how a sail works, who can help me explain?

The Bernoulli Principle applies to  sails and is the
principal contributor to moving the hull through the water,
In the case of aircraft jet propulsion.. the jet engines
provide the main forward thrust with the Bernoulli Principle
making a secondary contribution to lift in the countour
contour of the wings.
