Summary
[edit]DescriptionTacking Intervals.jpg |
English: Schematic showing different paths of a vessel beating against the wind. A vessel sailing against the wind from A to B can tack using different sized intervals, taking e,g, the paths P1, P2, or P3, while travelling the same overall distance. In a narrow channel, path P1 can be necessary, while in open water, P3 may be preferable because it requires fewer turns. In all cases, the vessel will sail as close to the wind as possible. |
