That pattern works correctly on all three of your example lines below.
2fr4sail=g%fst5rt423;"a
matches sail=g%fst5rt423;"
#$fvsailsss7&8!:;"22
matches sailsss7&8!:;"
s6gysail76f9^h$2;"99d
matches sail76f9^h$2;"
If you are saying that you don't want to match the quote at the end
change the pattern to:
sail.*?;

This was one of my first thoughts; it doesn't work.
Here is some example text; the real text has hundreds of lines. I
want to find/replace the segment stating with 'sail' and ending with
';
2fr4sail=g%fst5rt423;"a
#$fvsailsss7&8!:;"22
s6gysail76f9^h$2;"99d
