When wind and tide are opposite, approaching into wind won’t work. Use the tide as your brake and approach downwind.
在⻛与潮汐相对时,⽆法迎⻛靠近。运⽤潮汐流制动,顺⻛靠近系泊球。
Turn head to wind first to drop the mainsail, then approach the buoy downwind using the jib sheet to control your speed. ⾸先将船头转向顶⻛,以便降下主帆,然后顺⻛靠近浮球,利⽤前缭控制船速。 Let the jib fly while you pick up the buoy and secure the boat. 在拉起浮球系船时,完全松掉前帆。
LEAVING A MOORING... 离开泊位……
Have you noticed boats on a mooring lie downtide? When wind and tide are opposite, you can’t be head to wind to hoist your mainsail, so hoist your jib instead and sail off the mooring downwind.
