The vertical post to which a sail is attached is known as a mast. However, on the historical tall ships, the sail is attached to a horizontal beam known as a spar or boom. Some might say that the wind holds a sail. Or perhaps you are referring to the piece of rope (or line) that controls a particular sail. Please be more specifical.
