2 deck: The "deck" of a boat or ship is the surface of the vessel which extends from one end of the ship to the other.

Note that the term "deck" has several other meanings both as a noun and a verb.
3 mast: A "mast" is a tall vertical pole extending from the deck (or below) which is used as a support for the sails of a ship. Larger ships have more than one mast and more than one sail.
4 sail: A "sail" is a sort of sheet made from canvas (and other fabrics) which catches wind and converts energy in order to propel the ship. A "sail boat" is a type of boat propelled by wind and sails, and the verb "to sail" refers to the act of piloting or navigating a boat.
