Wind From the North at 15knots
Sailing Windward
http://sites.google.com/site/tpscsail/
 Why does it go up
wind?
 Air passing over the
front of the sail has a
lower pressure than the
air behind the sail.
 Lift from the sails
generates a force like an
airplanes wing.
 Pressure from the water
on the keel keeps the
boat from slipping
sideways.
 The net result is forward
motion of the boat.

Apparent Wind
http://sites.google.com/site/tpscsail/
 Apparent Wind
 (These are not vectors.)
 Three things you can
observe.
 The wind speed and
direction from the dock.
 The boat speed and
direction of the boat.
 The apparent wind speed
and direction from the boat.
 The wind direction
indicator at the top of the
mast
 An anemometer to
measure velocity
 The apparent wind
is a combination of
the actual wind
speed and direction
and the boat speed
and direction
 For today’s discussions, the
wind will be out of the North
(the top of the page or screen)
at 15 knots. In this wind
there are white capped waves

on the water.

Coming About
Wind
http://sites.google.com/site/tpscsail/
 Things to avoid
 Coming About
 Plan a smooth rounded turn
 Check for other boats
 Inform the crew of your
intention.
 Skipper – “Ready about”
 Crew gets ready to
release the leeward sheet
and trim the windward
sheet – “Ready”
 Skipper – “Coming
About” or “Helms to
Lee”
 Crew, waits for the jib to
luff, releases the lee jib
sheet and trims the
opposite sheet as the boat
comes around.
Keel
Rudder
 Turning too quickly is
like putting the keel and
rudder sideways in the
water. The boat slows
down significantly when
you do that.

Jibing
http://sites.google.com/site/tpscsail/
 Jibing
 Check the position of other boats.
 Inform the crew of your intention.
 Skipper: “Ready to Jibe” or “Prepare to Jibe”
 Crew: locates the windward and leeward jib sheets –
“Ready”
 Skipper: “Jibing” or Jibe Ho”
 The jib is usually jibed first.
 The jib will collapse when it gets behind the main.
At that time the crew will loose the down wind sheet
and start trimming the opposite sheet.
 The main won’t jibe until the wind is behind it.
 The skipper may want to trim in the main sheet to
help this or steer into the wind on the new tack until
the boom flops over.
 Avoid a goose-wing jibe
 The TPSC Victorys have a boom vangs that
prevent this from happening.

 The Goose-wing Jibe.
 Going down wind with the
main sheet too loose.
 The mainsail gets wrapped
around the spreader.
 You are jibing or a puff of
wind catches the main and
jibes it.
 To avoid it
 Use a boom vang or:
 Keep the main trimmed
 keep in main trimmed so it
does not touch the spreaders.
 Trim in the sail somewhat
before jibing.
 To get out of it
 Jibe back to the original tack.

Heave-To
http://sites.google.com/site/tpscsail/
 Heaving To
 Heaving to essentially puts the boat in park.
 To do it, come about without releasing the
jib sheet.
 The boat changes tack and slows down
 The boat tends to stay in the broad reach
position.
 Minimum effort is required to keep the boat
in this position.
 Check for other boats
 Inform the crew of your intention.
 Skipper – “We are going to heave to”
“Don’t release the jib sheet.”
 Crew – does nothing “OK”
 Skipper – “Coming About” or “Helms to
Lee”
 When the jib backwinds, you are heaved to.
 A good position if a Navy gunboat tells you
to heave-to or you are hungry and want to
eat something.
