Summary
[edit]DescriptionSails Aback (8642947420).jpg |
This one is for the sailors: here the sails are aback as the Lady Washington tacks. The wind is on the wrong side and they are pressed against the mast and rigging. This almost never happens in a sloop rig, but it brings the bow across the wind in a square rigged boat. Below you can find a description of a square rig tacking maneuver. Being "taken aback" is also an expression meaning unpleasantly surprised. If the wind shifts and takes the sales aback, it is a dangerous situation. <a href="http://raykay.freeservers.com/Tacking-Wearing.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">raykay.freeservers.com/Tacking-Wearing.htm</a> |
