 mainsail
      n : the lowermost sail on the mainmast

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Main-sail
    (Gr. artemon), answering to the modern "mizzen-sail," as some
    suppose. Others understand the "jib," near the prow, or the
    "fore-sail," as likely to be most useful in bringing a ship's
    head to the wind in the circumstances described (Acts 27:40).
