As the sails collapse, cross the boat, sheet the jib across and ease the main a little. The forces on the rig help swing the bow away from the wind and onto the new close-hauled course.
随着帆变松弛,移动到船另⼀侧,前帆换舷,松⼀点主帆。帆⼒会使船头转过顶⻛, 转到另⼀侧迎⻛航⾏。
Step 3: 第三步:
The boat is pointing in the correct direction and will have excess leeward heel.
航向正确,船会往下⻛侧过度倾斜。
Step 4: 第四步
The helm and possibly the crew now move smoothly to windward while pulling in the sails, thus accelerating the boat back to its entry speed (in racing, going more than entry speed is illegal). The crew may now need to return to their leeward position to balance the boat.
The effectiveness of roll tacking will vary from boat to boat. The Enterprise is a near perfect roll tacking design. Roll tacking is not quite so effective with catamarans but, by moving crew weight to the windward quarter (the
