The sailing regatta
Competitors in a sailing regatta have to sail around a course defined by two marks – often buoys – at one end
the windward mark, which is always placed in the eye of the wind, and at the other the leeward mark. The
distance between the two marks depends on the strength of the wind. The starting line and the finish line are
perpendicular to the line between the two marks.

The course
1 . Head for the windward mark
Ex. 360°
2
. A sailing boat can never head directly towards a point situated in the eye of the wind. It must tack, which is
to beat up to windward by exploiting the apparent wind to the maximum. This is known as sailing close-
hauled.
Each type of sailing boat has its own beating angle
There are innumerable possibilities of tacking for sailing from A to B :
windward mark leeward mark wind
Conventions:
Port: left-hand side of the boat
Starboard: right-hand side of the boat
A ship sails starboard tack if the starboard side is
windward, and port tack if the port side is windward.
