, Center of Lateral Resistance (CLR) - ANS the focal point of all the forces resisting slipping
sideways through the water (keel and rudder)
Center of Effort - ANS theoretical focal point of the force generated by the wind acting on the
sail(s) - main and jib
Drag - ANS slowing force resulting from the friction of a boat moving through water
when a boat is sailing upwind, it slips to - ANS leeward
centerboard's primary responsibility - ANS resistance to side-slipping
ck
rudder's primary function - ANS steering
weather helm - ANS occurs when sailing upwind in strong or puffy wind-force of the mainsail
overpowers the jib- boat turns windward and the rudder is harder to control. correction: ease
main, hike to windward, flatten mainsail, or pull up centerboard (25%)
lo
lee helm - ANS The boat's tendency to turn away from the wind in light wind - too little force in
the mainsail and too much weight to windward. correction: flatten boat (move crew weight
leeward), tiller to leeward, make mainsail fuller/deeper and put daggerboard all the way down.
yc
why flatter is better upwind - ANS vertical centerboard/daggerboard functions best at
preventing sideways slipping, most direct course toward windward destination
heel in light air upwind - ANS little heel allows for better steering and optimal sail shape to
avoid luffing
ud
side-to-side position downwind - ANS daggerboard up part way, heel to windward to reduce
friction; skipper on windward rail and crew adjusting to maintain consistent windward heel
fore and aft position upwind - ANS too far forward: pearl in waves. too far aft: stern
sinks/displaces more water. skipper aft of mainsheet crew shoulder to shoulder. light wind:
st
slightly forward better. heavy wind/big waves: farther aft to keep bow up.
fore and aft position downwind - ANS higher wind: shift weight back to keep bow out of water,
then move forward to sail upwind.
hiking - ANS anticipate changes and adjust weight placement beforehand. flat boat decreases
sideways slippage for more efficient windward travel. straight legged hiking = center of gravity
farthest possible to windward
close hauled sailing - ANS position defined as closest to the wind
