As we all know the real engine of our boat are sailing the sails. There are essentially two types of boats: the mainsail and jib, but the vessel can be equipped with both spinnaker and spinnaker sails to a navigation expert.
on all sailboats will find the first two sails available. Explain how the sails should be adjusted on a blog is impossible, for obvious reasons: you must be at sea to learn how to adjust the sails, and there are no fixed rules. A very general rule is that the sails must fuck [Pull in: it is a nautical term that means to Tighten a sail through the appropriate sheet of the mainsail or jib, in this case. The sheets are the ropes that allow us to adjust the sails] when we close-hauled or large, or gaits that allow us to tighten the wind, and let [Leave: remove the tension on the sail, a sail to swell] when we move away wind, sideways, loose, loose large, and stern, especially gait. These rules apply to the sails as the mainsail and jib, but the spinnaker and the spinnaker, there are different settings.
upwind is to go with the bow of the boat (front boat) near the corner dead. The dead angle is an angle of about 90 ° that we spend just to change tack in our sails, and direction. If you accidentally end up in this corner, we are against the wind, our sails and begin to bring more fileggiare and not because the wind is no longer used as a laminar flow to drive the boat.
