Hello; Today I have prepared a content about sailing for you. As you know, we are in the winter months and I cannot make much content due to the restrictions. I tried to prepare a content that I made with Onur Tok before but I did not like the image quality. Although the image quality may not be very good, I believe it will be quite satisfying in terms of information. As you know, it is a bit more difficult for sailboats to sail against the wind. No sailboat can sail completely against the wind. They can sail at an average angle of 45 degrees to the wind. While some racing sailboats can approach the wind up to 35 degrees, some cruising sailboats can approach the wind up to 55 degrees. In the first years when I started sailing when I was a child. We went to the islands in Istanbul on a downwind sail with the wind from behind. At that time, I did not know what to do on a windward sail and had to go back and forth between Burgaz Island and Heybeli Island 3-4 times. I could not approach the wind because I did not know the most basic thing. The most basic thing to sail against the wind is to bring the sails into the boat. In other words, the sheets controlling the sails should be tightened. In order to proceed with a sailboat against the wind, the following conditions should be fulfilled. Observe the wind well, if there is a wind arrow on the top of the mast on the boat, you can look at it or if there is an electronic wind indicator, you can also look at it. Steer towards the wind and try to make an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the wind. Of course, it should not be forgotten that the sails will be adjusted with each steering movement, that is, with each change of direction of the boat. You should bring your mainsail and genoa sheet in. After approaching the wind, you should look at the front of the sail that first receives the wind. This is the front of the genoa. Here, you should look at the feathers where the wind flows on the sail. If the sail is flashing against the wind, the angle to the wind is too narrow, the angle to the wind should be increased and the feathers should be entered to the windward until they are parallel. Of course, you should make turns to go to the windward target on the windward. These turns will be an average of 90 degrees. These are called tacks. There is no possibility of reaching the target against the wind without tacking. I wish you good sailing. http://toksailing.com http://yelkenokulu.com
