🔍 Key Concepts

• apparent wind is the combination of the true wind and the vessel’s motion • how the direction of true wind (ahead vs astern) affects apparent wind • what happens to wind speed you feel when you move into the wind versus with the wind

💭 Think About

• Imagine standing on deck with no ship movement. Now picture the ship beginning to move: in which heading (into the wind or with the wind) would the wind you feel become stronger but still seem to come from the same direction? • For each answer choice, think about whether the ship’s motion would tend to add to the true wind or subtract from it. • Consider a simple example: you are on a calm day and run forward—does the breeze you feel come from ahead or astern? Now relate that to when there is already a true wind blowing.

✅ Before You Answer

• For the correct condition, the apparent wind speed must be greater than the true wind speed. • The apparent wind direction must remain the same as the true wind direction (not shift forward or aft). • Check which option describes a situation where the vessel’s motion and the true wind combine so that their velocities add rather than cancel.
