On a related note, I would love to see an animated explanation for how sail ships worked.

As a fan of Hornblower series,I suspect most of the relevant details went over my head because I didn't understand this.

Seems like a good contender for a https://ciechanow.ski/ interactive article.

That's exactly what I was wishing existed when I was looking at these walls of text. There's https://ciechanow.ski/naval-architecture/ which is interesting, but not quite the same

These are good animations for tall ships:

Warship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nr1AgIfajI

Explorer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pYqXrFx6S8

They don't cover the actual physics and processes of sailing a tall ship, but they do explain all the parts and pieces and how they connect.

There is a modern-ish simulator here: https://thapen.itch.io/painted-ocean

The tutorial level on how to get the ship pointed in the right direction and moving out of the harbour will give you the basics.

I'd love to have a simulator for a sailboat, preferably running in a browser.
