🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between windward and leeward • How a vessel’s hull blocks or shelters wind on one side • Why port and starboard are fixed directions, but wind-related terms change with wind direction

💭 Think About

• Imagine a strong wind blowing on your vessel: which side do you feel the wind hitting first? Which side feels more protected? • Does the term you’re looking for depend on the compass direction (left/right of the vessel), or on where the wind is coming from? • If the wind shifts 180°, would the same physical side of the vessel still have the same name, or would that name switch sides?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify which side is called windward and which is called leeward in basic seamanship terminology • Check whether port and starboard are related to wind, or are permanent to the vessel regardless of conditions • Verify that lee side refers to the side in relation to the direction the wind is blowing from, not the ship’s permanent left/right
