This physics image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Ice boat apparent wind on different points of sail.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: iceoat A is close hauled. Iceoat B is on a beam reach.Iceboat C is on a broad reach.

VT = True wind speed VB = Boat speed VA = Apparent wind speed FT = Force on sail tangential to sail cord (lift component) FR = Driving force component FLAT = Lateral component Note that as the iceboat sails further from the wind, the apparent wind becomes increases slightly and the boat speed is highest on the broad reach.
