🔍 Key Concepts

• Apparent wind vs. true wind on a moving vessel • How wind direction feels relative to the bow and beams when the vessel is making way • Difference between windward side and lee side of a vessel

💭 Think About

• Visualize a vessel moving ahead with wind coming from one side: where does the apparent wind seem to come from compared to the true wind? • When a boat speeds up into a side wind, does the apparent wind feel like it moves more toward the bow or more toward the beam? • Think about standing on deck underway: from which general sector (between bow and which other point) do you usually feel the apparent wind?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: apparent wind = true wind + vessel’s motion • Identify which reference directions are fixed to the earth (like north) versus relative to the vessel (like bow, beam, windward/lee side). • Confirm which side, windward or lee, is the side the wind is coming FROM, not going TO.
