A boat with two masts is a schooner. Any sail set on the fore mast is is a fore sail, or more properly a head sail.

The head sails would be first the jib at the bow followed by the stay sail.

If the boat only had one mast, but still had two head sails it would be a cutter.

If you really want to confuse things, look at the sail nomenclature on a a clipper ship like the Cutty Sark

Other than flying, there is no better hobby to waste your money than sailing. Makes Power Wagons look like a cheap hobby.
