Sailing |
I hoisted a single sail and peeled
off down wind like a rocket.
I feathered the sail back,
trying to head up into the wind.
There was something
perversely exhilarating about this situation,
which
challenged me to the limit of my sailing skill.

Upwind Sailing - Downwind Sailing |
What is the difference?
Consider a frog and a bird, both
jumping off a fence. The frog will land on the ground, the
bird will fly in the sky.
Why? The frog has only a "downwind
sail", its belly. The bird has an "upwind sail", its wings.
Conclusion:
With a downwind sail rig, you are limited on
where you can go - see shaded area below. With an upwind sail
rig,
you can go anywhere you want - see Upwind Area and Downwind area.
