Sailing Across the Wind 航⾏穿过⻛


One of the delights of sailing is that the boat is completely reliant on the wind. This means that you must be aware of the wind direction and also its strength.


帆船运动的⼀⼤乐趣在于，船完全依靠⻛⼒⾏驶，这就意味着你必须要时刻注意⻛的⽅向和 ⼒度。


On your first sail you will start by steering on a beam reach (across the wind) with the wind coming over the side of the boat. This is the easiest point of sailing on which to practise steering the boat.


在第⼀次航⾏时，以横⻛⾏驶（横穿过⻛）的⽅式开始练习掌舵，⻛从船的侧⾯吹来。这是 练习掌舵最简单的⼀种航⾏⻆度。


You can sail in two directions on a beam reach – on port tack, when the wind comes over the port side, and on starboard tack, when the wind comes across the starboard side. On a beam reach the sails are set about halfway out, with the centreboard about halfway down.


横⻛⾏驶时可以选择左舷⾏驶或右舷⾏驶。⻛来⾃左舷时为左舷⾏驶，⻛来⾃右舷时为右舷 ⾏驶。横⻛⾏驶时，帆松出去⼀半，稳向板放低⼀半。


Sailing Upwind 逆⻛⾏驶


Turn towards the wind (luff) onto a close reach. Pull the sails in until they stop flapping. Put the centreboard three-quarters down. This helps resist the increased side force.


转向迎⻛⽅向（迎⻛偏转），直到后迎⻛⾏驶。收紧帆直到帆停⽌抖动，稳向板放下四分之 三，来抵抗增强的横移⼒。


Turn further towards the wind and pull the sails in tight to sail close-hauled, putting the centreboard fully down. This is the closest angle a sailing boat can sail to the wind. If you sail any closer the sails will start flapping and the boat will slow down. This is when the heeling force is also at its greatest, so sit out on the windward side of the boat to keep the boat upright!
