Possible definitions for sailers
sailfish
Valued food and game fish in the genus Istiophorus (family Istiophoridae) of warm and temperate waters worldwide. It has a long, rounded spear extending from its snout but is distinguished from marlins and related species by its slimmer form, long pelvic fins, and especially its large, sail-like dorsal fin, which is bright blue and spotted. Deep blue above and silvery below, they grow to about 11 ft (3.4 m) long and 200 lbs (90 kg) or more. They feed mainly on other fishes. Its classification is uncertain, and one (I. platypterus) to several species may be recognized.
Salieri
Italian composer. He moved to Vienna in 1766 with Florian Gassmann (1729-1774), and remained there most of his career. On Gassmann's death, he became composer and conductor of the Italian opera at the imperial court, and later court kapellmeister (1788). Vienna's most popular opera composer for much of the last quarter of the 18th cent., he had many important students, incl. L. van Beethoven, F. Schubert, and F. Liszt. In addition to his more than 40 operas, he wrote much other secular and sacred music. Though he and W. A. Mozart were rivals, there is no basis to the story that he poisoned Mozart, and it is unlikely that he claimed to have done so on his deathbed or earlier.
