apparent wind

The apparent wind changes all the time and very quickly.

Apparent wind will work best for you the faster the boat goes.

So the boat is able to go to half the apparent wind speed.

She can apparently sail at 20 degrees off the apparent wind.

But overall as the heel increased, the sail has a lower apparent wind.

The polar plot is independent of the apparent wind speed.

Since the true wind is so strong, the apparent wind plays little part.

Guys, which control spar angle with respect to the apparent wind.

The force on the sheets and rig also increases by 50% for the same apparent wind.

By sailing slightly off on a reach, you will pick up speed and take advantage of the apparent wind.

The boat is close hauled, with the sail set at, for example, 15 relative to the apparent wind.

The apparent wind also forms an angle with the true wind.

Apparent wind is the wind experienced by a moving object.

Apparent wind: the kite's speed relative to the surrounding air.

The component parallel to the apparent wind is called the drag coefficient.

The apparent wind is not constant for two reasons: wind and sea.

As the board accelerates down the face of the wave your speed increases and the apparent wind changes.

The apparent wind depends on the true wind and boat speed.

This is consistent with the yacht being able to sail at about 15 degrees off the apparent wind, see the table above.

The optimum setting depends on the apparent wind angle relative to the course.

Torque is caused by a change in the apparent wind direction relative to the moving blades.

In sailing, the apparent wind is the actual flow of air acting upon a sail.

What this means is that the faster we go, the more the apparent wind direction swings forwards.

Board A is tethered and the true and apparent winds are the same.

In a headwind the apparent wind is 50% higher than the true wind.
