Why do people enjoy sailing?
When asking people what they loved most about sailing, the most mentioned reason is the relaxing and peaceful nature sailing provides. We don’t disagree! As you step aboard each sailing excursion, you open yourself up to a new set of experiences and get to view the world in a way that not many do. A boat’s proper course at any moment depends on the existing conditions. Some.Sailboats are designed to be used with sails, and while it is certainly possible to operate a sailboat without sails in various scenarios, it isn’t ideal.When a boat acquires right of way or when a right-of-way boat alters course, she is required to give room for the other boat to keep clear. The other boat must promptly manoeuvre in a way which offers a reasonable expectation that she will keep clear.
What are the 3 rules of sailing?
Rule 1: When you are on the same tack as the other boat, the leeward boat has the right-of-way. Rule 2: When you are on opposite tacks, the starboard tack boat has the right-of-way. Rule 3: If you are overtaking the other boat, or it is overtaking you, the boat ahead (the overtaken boat) has the right-of-way. Under Rule 19, the right-of-way boat gets to choose which side to pass an obstruction. The outside boat must give inside overlapped boats room to pass an obstruction. This does not apply at a continuing obstruction if the inside boat becomes overlapped from clear astern with no room to pass.
