How the sail works.
Articles on how the sail works, a theory regarding the incident angle, drift etc.
you can read on the Internet, open Wikipedia or google "how the sail works" and you will find hundreds of articles, I am not going to retell this to you.
I will discuss the practical part, what can applied ptactically.
So we have the wind and we have a yacht that sails this way.
This is called the true wind, that is, the one that blows.
When a yacht moves, it creates an oncoming wind flow, like this one and depending on what kind of was blowing here, the side one or a different one, you create a so-called apparent wind.
That is, when you are moving, depending on the speed, your apparent wind can change, that is, it can be in the following options.
But, since we have more or less low speed on our yacht, it will be like this.
For example, there is a flag, and when we move, it does not wave like this, but it waves like this.
There is windex on the top of the mast and it shows the direction of the wind, and it shows the apparent direction of the wind in particular.
But all the simplicity lies in the fact that we also set the sails according to the apparent wind.
That is, this wind is not very important for us in general, we set up the sails according to the apparent wind, and everything should work well.
You just have to take into account and understand that we set the sails according to the apparent wind, it's okay that the wind is slightly distorted from your way.
Next, we are going to talk about and straight courses.
Windward courses means the wind works like a wing for us, that is, we have a sail of about this shape.
