🔍 Key Concepts

• Points of sail relative to the wind (close-hauled, reaching, running) • Difference between turning the bow through the wind vs. turning the stern through the wind • What happens to the mainsail and boom when you change direction across the wind

💭 Think About

• First, picture a sailboat sailing with the wind coming from ahead: when you change direction so the BOW passes through the wind, what is that maneuver called? • Now picture the boat sailing mostly with the wind from behind: when you turn so the STERN passes through the wind and the boom swings across, what is that maneuver called? • Which of the options describes a specific maneuver, and which describe general conditions (like sail area change or direction of travel)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which maneuver involves the bow through the eye of the wind and which involves the stern through the eye of the wind • Check which choice refers to a specific turning maneuver, not just a general sailing condition or sail adjustment • Eliminate any term that is mainly about reducing sail area or simply sailing with the wind from behind
