How are boats using sails able to return to their starting place?
Q. All those boats using a sail and traveling upwind, like the old time galleys using a sail, once they reach their destination how are they able to return to where they came from?

A. It's called "tacking." It would be easier to explain to you if I could draw a picture. Think of the sail as an air foil. When the wind blows straight from the boat, (front,) the sail will luff, (flap.) However, if you turn slightly to one side or the other the sail will fill with air and start moving forward. The best point of sail is what's called a "close reach" or "close haul." That is when the wind is 30-60 degrees off the bow of the boat blowing toward you. You actually go faster trimmed, (set up,) this way than if you were "running" which is with the wind directly at your back. Understanding this, you maneuver the boat in a zig-zag manner, (tacking,) into the wind. There's whats called a "beam reach," which is with the wind at 90… [cont.]
