When sailing upwind, there are a number of variables: 迎⻛航⾏时,有多个动态因素需要考虑:
• Wind direction.
• ⻛向 •
Balance (your ability to hike or trapeze).
• 船的左右平衡(你在船侧压舷和悬挂压舷的能⼒) •
Steering a course.
• 掌舵航向 •
Sail setting (which will be fairly static).
• 帆的设置(相对稳定) •
• 稳向板完全放下 •
Centreboard, which will be fully down. Trim (which will be forward to stop transom drag).
• 船的前后平衡(坐在船前侧,以减⼩船尾阻⼒) •
TOP TIP 重要提示
Always focus on the windward tell tales when sailing to windward. 迎⻛航⾏时务必时刻观察上⻛侧⽓流线。
When learning, the tell tales are very important to give you feedback on steering. Keep looking to see how high you are pointing by luffing the boat slightly and checking the tell tales. At the perfect angle to the wind, the windward tell tales will stream slightly upwards.
Created apparent wind due to speed (catamarans/skiffs). • 由于快速航⾏⽽产⽣的视⻛(例如,双体船/轻型快船skiff)
