🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of relative wind direction on a sailing vessel • Definition of port tack vs starboard tack (which side the wind is coming from) • Relationship between point of sail (close-hauled, beam reach, broad reach, running) and the angle to the wind

💭 Think About

• If the wind is coming from 020° relative, where is it in relation to the bow (ahead), beam (side), or stern (aft)? • For a vessel on port tack vs starboard tack, which side does the wind strike first, and which side is the boom on? • Which point of sail corresponds to the wind being almost ahead, exactly from behind, or from aft of the beam?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether relative 020° means the wind is almost ahead or almost from directly astern • Identify if wind at about 20° off the bow would be considered close-hauled, a reach, or running • Match the described wind angle to the correct tack (port or starboard) based on which side the wind is on
