Lesson Outline: 1.) Anatomy of a Sailboat 2.) Bernoulli Principle 3.) Points of Sail 4.) Tacking & Gybing 5.) The Principles of Wind 6.) Classifying & Identifying Wind

Anatomy of a Sailboat 1.) Sail Area 2.) Keel/Daggerboard/Centreboard 3.) Rudder 4.) Hull 5.) Rigging Centre of Effort (CE) -Sail Area Centre of Lateral Resistance (CLR) -Keel/Daggerboard/Centreboard -Rudder -Hull

Bernoulli Principle -Like an airplane foil, sails allow a vessel to generate lift. - When lift is countered by the resistant forces of the boat (CLR) it converts the lift into thrust and allows sailboats to move forward.

Key Terms Lift: Result of the Bernoulli Principle and high/low pressure systems on a foil. Thrust: The force of a sailboat to move forward through the water. Is a result of the power of the wind as it generates lift and is countered by drag. Resistance/Drag: The force the boat meets as it pushes water aside (Displacement Hull). Is coupled with lift to produce thrust. Without resistance a boat would slide-slip endlessly. Buoyancy: Keeps the boat up in the water (Positive, Neutral, Negative). Equivalent to force of gravity on airplanes.

Forces of Sailing

Foils: Endless Possibilities! Airfoils: -Like a sail Hydrofoils: -Like a sail – but underwater. -Use the principles of water to create high/low pressure systems.

Points of Sail

Getting There Tacking: Change of the boat’s sailing angle, such that the bow passes through the wind. Gybing: Change of the boat’s sailing angle, such that the stern passes through the wind. Short Tacks vs. Long Tacks -Banging a Corner. -Beating it. What are the advantages + what are the disadvantages?

Tacking Tactics Things to Consider: -Energy Conservation -Wind Shifts (Knock or Lift?) -Sail Trim (Boat Maintenance) -Tides -Geographic Limitations -Other vessels

Wind Shifts Knock/Header: A wind shift that pushes your sailing angle away from your desired position. Dependent on the situation, it may be better to tack over. Lift: A wind shift that favors your sailing angle and lets you sail at a closer angle to your desired position. Adjust bearing and sail on! “A bad wind blows someone good.” – Nan Chaytor - A knock on one tack is a lift on another!
