Yes Draco, the sails have to rotate (on a real ship). I was calling the "front boom" by the wrong name as abhovi pointed out. The jib (boom) is secured and the sail is "fixed" on the front/top edge but can move sideways on the free corner (as is with modern sailing boats).
I just received my first boat books and after a first glance I might need to make notes on vocabulary cards to help memorize all the new words. It's like a new language. And I dread that in German the words will be all different too!
