🔍 Key Concepts

• Heeling: the sideways lean of a sailing vessel caused by wind pressure on the sails • How sail area (size of sails) affects the heeling moment • How changing course relative to the wind and trimming or easing sheets affect sail power

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does this action increase or decrease the force of the wind on the sails? • Think about what happens to heeling when you reduce sail area versus when you increase sail area. • When you head up toward the wind and the sails start to luff, what happens to power and heel? Compare that to trimming or easing sheets.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options clearly reduce sail power (less driving force = less heel). • Identify which option clearly increases sail power (more driving force = more heel). • Verify your choice by picturing the boat: after this action, would it likely stand up straighter or lean over more?
