Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin' energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin' waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear. Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls) until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the opposite direction and you're still heading into the wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the sail to max the energy out of the wind. Regards Ken PS: Read about it. |
