Well, the sentence as it stands has no object, but it also makes no sense. "Sara sails every day." is a real sentence. "Everyday" is an adjective, but as far as I know, there is no water vessel that can be considered "everyday". You can have "everyday clothes", for instance, but can you have an "everyday schooner"? "Everyday rowboat"? "Everyday ocean liner"? Not likely, is it? "Everyday" means something that is commonplace and not special.
FYI, the other two answers are wrong because, like you, they have confused the phrase "every day" for the word "everyday". They're not the same, nor do they have any realtionship to each other. In fact, they can be used in the same sentence like this:
Sara wore her everyday clothes when she sailed her boat every day.
See the difference?

you know, a dictionary tells you what part of speech a word is. Don't they teach you kids anything about research today?
It's an adverb because it describes the verb sail. When does she sail? Everyday.

It is an adverb which modifies sail
