May be because it doesn't create such impact to move boat. Air just work as regular fan.

Why a helicopter will fly but boat will not?
In both case there is a fan making a force in opposite direction.

The correct question should be on a stationary sail boat, air is blown (at the sail) from a fan attached to the boat. The boat they miss the main detail.

If its so, on what principle do hovercraft run, I think its the fat that pushes the air back. Isn't it?

A stationary sail boat does not move because the boat is tight with a rope.

A sailboat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. The sail neutralizes the thrust produced by FAN so the boat won't move.

It depend upon the angle of fan.

See practically take a fan tag it on small boat definitely it moves.

It will definitely moves in opposite direction in which in which air is blown.

The boat will move because of the reaction provided by the air (in the opposite direction).
This is the similar case as the jet engine, air is of certain momentum is sucked and by combustion of fuel its momentum increases so the net force on the jet will be equals to the rate of change of momentum.
