(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Sailing is motion across a body of water in a sailing ship, or smaller boat, powered by wind. The force of the wind is used to create motion by using one or more sails.
Today, for most people, sailing is a hobby. Sailing can be further divided into two areas: Racing and Cruising.
In ancient times (see Odysseus), ships used following or rear-quarter winds. They therefore had to wait in port or at sea for the right wind directions.
Modern sailing ships are able to go against the wind from an average of 25 degrees relative to apparent wind for most sloop-rigged yachts, to as little as 16 degrees for modern (America's cup type) racing sloops. How close a boat can sail to the wind depends on the wind speed, since what the boat "sees" is the apparent wind, i.e., the vector sum of the actual wind and the boat's own velocity. The apparent wind is what the windex on top of the mast shows. Because of this, people often talk about how close a boat can sail to the apparent wind. A good sloop can sail within 25 degrees of apparent wind. Perhaps an America's Cup sloop can sail within 16 degrees, under the right conditions. Those figures might translate into 45 degrees and 36 degrees relative to the actual wind. The angle at which the wind meets the boat is described by points of sail.
Sailboats typically have one, two, or three hullss. Vessels with one hull are known as monohulls, those with two or more are known as multihulls. Multihulls can be further subdivided into catamarans (two hulls), and trimarans (three hulls).
Behaviour
Sailors are expected to know the essentials of boating safety which include right-of-way rules, lights, signals and various rules designed to support safe navigation. There are unlimited more esoteric etiquette rules and custom that will demonstrate to others advanced knowledge of boating protocol such as pulling up the fenders when you're not in port and especially safety rules such as ducking one's head when one hears "prepare to come about".There are four basic maneuvers a sailboat can perform while underway. They are:
When a boat leans far to one side, it's called heeling. It's often caused because a boat jibed too quickly (turning through the wind), because the mainsail is cleated in too far, or simply because you're going really fast over big waves or something. To prevent heeling, (in a smaller boat), all sailors should climb onto the high side of the boat. If that doesn't help, sailors can hike out (using hiking straps if available). Hiking out basically means you brace your feet on the bottom of the boat or under the straps and lean out over the high side as far as possible. You can also let out the mainsail and fall off a little. If you heel too far to a certain point, your boat will capsize. (Which can be pretty fun.)
- Tacking - The bow of the boat turns through the wind
- Gybing - The stern of the boat turns through the wind
- Heading up - Altering course to sail closer to the wind
- Bearing away - Altering course to sail further away from the wind. This is sometimes called falling off, but that has other negative connotations.
Terminology
Sailors use traditional terms for the parts of or directions on a vessel; starboard (right), port (left), forward or fore (front), aft (back), bow (very front), stern (very back). Vertical poles are masts, horizontal poles are booms (if they can hit you), gaffs (if they're too high to reach) or poles (if they can't hit you). Ropes or wires that hold up masts are called shrouds or stays. Ropes or wires that raise and lower sails are called halyards. Ropes that adjust (trim) the sails are called sheets. Ropes that pull on poles are called vangs. Actually, only a few of the "ropes" on a boat are called ropes. A few examples, the bell rope (to ring the bell), a bolt rope (attached to the edge of a sail for extra strength), a foot rope (on old square riggers for the sailors to stand on while reefing or furling the sails), and a tiller rope (to temporarily hold the tiller and keep the boat on course). All other material that might at first glance seem to be rope is actually line or rode. Most lines are either halyards (for raising and lowering sails) or sheets (for trimming or adjusting the angle of attack of a sail). A rode is what keeps an anchor attached to the boat when the anchor is in use.Walls are called bulkheads. The toilet is the head, the kitchen is the galley, etc. Sails in different sail plans have unchanging names, however. For the naming of sails, see sail-plan.
Sailing terms have entered popular language in many ways. "Broken up" was the fate of a ship that hit a "rocky point." "Pooped" refers to the poop deck of a ship, where tired or ill sailors hung their hammocks. "In the doldrums" referred to being becalmed, windless, especially in the narrow band of hot windless water "the doldrums", near the equator. "Adrift" meant literally that a ship's anchor had come loose, and the ship was out of control near land and therefore in serious danger. "Keel-hauled and hung out to dry." was the rather nasty process of attaching a sailor to a rope, and drawing him under the sailboat while underway, and then hanging him from a yard-arm (under his shoulders usually, not by his neck), where officers and crew could mock him. A "broadside" was the simultaneous shooting of all the cannon on one side of a ship.
