Port
Facing forward, this is anything to the left of the boat. When you're onboard, you can use this term pretty much any time you would normally say "left."

Starboard
Facing forward, this is anything to the right of the boat. Same deal as "port"-only the opposite.

Bow/Stern
The bow is the front of the boat, the stern is the back. Anything near the front of the boat is referred to as being "forward," and anything toward the back is "aft" or "astern."

Point of Sail: The boat's direction relative to the wind. For example, if you're going straight into the wind, your point of sail is called "in irons." (Note: This isn't a good place to be!) If the wind is blowing straight over the side of the boat, that's called a "beam reach." There are 8 commonly used points of sail.

Helm
Where you steer the boat. Usually this is a big wheel, but on smaller boats it can be a tiller, which is basically a long wooden stick. Either of these can be used to control the boat's rudder.

Keel
The keel is a long, heavy fin on the bottom of the boat that sticks down into the water. It provides stability and is the reason why modern sailboats are nearly impossible to capsize.

Tack
This term has two distinct meanings, both of them very important. As a verb, to tack is to change direction by turning the bow of the boat through the wind. As a noun, your tack is the course you are on relative to the wind. For example, if the wind is blowing over the port side, you are on a port tack. If it's blowing over the starboard side, you're on a...you guessed it...starboard tack.

Jibe
A jibe is another way of changing direction, in which you bring the stern of the boat through the wind. Whether you choose to tack or jibe entirely depends on the situation-what's around you, and the direction of the wind.

Windward
The side of the boat closest to the wind. When heeling over, this will always be the high side.

Leeward
The side of the boat furthest from the wind. When heeling over, this will always be the low side.

Lines
On board a boat, this is what you say instead of "ropes."

Mainsail:
The big triangular sail just aft of the sailboat's mast. As the name suggests, this is the boat's largest and most important sail. Running along its bottom edge, the mainsail has a thick pole called the boom.

Jib
The next most common sail on any boat. The jib can always be found forward of the mast, and unlike the mainsail, does not have a boom.
