If you’d blow with a leaf blower or something to the front of the boat, the boat might actually go backwards of there’s enough force. The leaf blower is basically pushing the air forwards, therefore it’s also pushing itself backwards. Some go this will probably be cancelled by blowing against the sail, but some air will also pass around it.
