Sail is a Lake District fell of 773 m in Cumberland. It rises only 32 m above its key col, 4.1% of its height.

Its key col leads to Grasmoor, not to its nearest higher summit, Crag Hill. It shares its height of 773 m with Grey Friar and Barrclashcame. On the Wainwrights height ladder it sits between Wandope (773.9 m) and Grey Friar (773 m). Crag Hill stands only 0.5 km to the west. Its drop of 32 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.2 km to the west at 741 m. It falls on two OS 1:50,000 sheets, 89 and 90.
