b/c you are collecting more wind, which means you are collecting more energy.

The bigger sail catches more wind that a smaller one so theres far more wind powering the boat.

catching the wind behind the sail propels the boat forward
bigger sail gathers more of this wind power

air is not nothing...it is made of molecules of gasses moving around. They strike the sail and exert a force on it, which is attached to the boat so they all move together. If you have a small sail you get x number of particles striking it, if you double the sail size you get 2x hitting it.
