Understanding the wind is fundamental to everything that happens on the boat. In this video we show the angles a boat can sail in relation to the wind

Thanks Terence. I am glad you find the videos useful. We tried to set them for newbies with each section broken down. Be sure to check out the others on the channel

is the sailing no-gone zone the aerodynamic equivalent of aircraft stalling?
@sailaboattv Жыл бұрын
Interesting question. Not sure I know the answer. Aircraft has much more speed and stalling is linked to gravity. In sailing, the sails need apparent wind which is where the sails thinks the wind is. When sailing close to the wind inside the no go zone the sails at first back wind (fill on the other side) then eventually stop working. The technique of the initial no go zone can be useful when very windy as it reduces power and puts the boat on a shorter course upwind BUT it is tricky and a wind shift could force tack the boat and result in certain capsize. Not sure all this ramble answers the question though!

It is relatable because a wing can stall in any attitude. Without a deep explanation a plane could be in a dive straight down with the wing in a stall. (Relative) wind is the wind that makes the difference. A sailboat is moving much slower but still has relative wind. Kind Regards, Lou

why even raise the centerbord or daggerbord

It reduces the drag and allows the centre of resistance to move back which can help as the boat picks up speed and starts to plane which is when the wind lifts the bow out of the water on a reaching point of sailing Tim Sailaboat
