sail is triangular, or quadrilateral with the after
leech longer than the fore leech. Square sails are
quadrilateral, but not necessarily square. See Phrases
under {Fore}, a., and {Square}, a.; also, {Bark},
{Brig}, {Schooner}, {Ship}, {Stay}.

Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory [language] (USA, AI)

SAIL: /sayl/, /S·A·I·L/, n. 1. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. An important site in
the early development of LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC,
and the Unix community, one of the major wellsprings of technical
innovation and hacker-culture traditions (see the
WAITS entry for details). The SAIL machines were
shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster
was officially decommissioned.
