	Encyclopedia: Course (sail) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In sailing, a course sail is the principal sail on a mast.
		Gaff-rigged vessels might possibly use the term (for the lowest sail rigged aft of each mast), but are more likely to refer simply to a mainsail, foresail, etc. A Bermuda- or lateen-rigged yacht, whether sloop, cutter, ketch or yawl, would not usually be described as having a course.
		In sailing, a boom is a spar (pole) usually made of aluminum or wood, is connected to the foot of the mainsail and allows the crew to control the angle of the sail to the wind.

	Sail Ship Sails
		Modern sails are designed such that the warp and the weft of the sailcloth are oriented parallel to the luff and foot of the sail.
		In modern times a sail is cut of the extreme size which is capable of being carried in fine weather, and when the wind increases in strength it is reefed -- part is gathered up and fastened by reef points, small cords attached to the sail.
		Outboard of the square sails might be set studdingsails [studding sail, studsail, stun's'l) -- a sail on a special spar, extended outboard of a square sail or sails, for added sail area in moderate winds.

	Full Sail Film Courses
		This course is also a bit of a boot camp for Full Sail, weeding out students without much chance of making it through the entire program (actually, I've heard all of "mini-school" referred to as serving that principal function).
		This course, affectionately referred to by it's acronym of BS, encourages students to figure out how they learn and tries to provide a means to better their habits, in order to be able to handle the rest of their program.
		This course was worth the money, not because of the lectures, which inversely affected the course value, but because of the extensive Quantel training the students receive.

	On The Same Tack
		Note that the phrase in rule 17.1 “her proper course” clarifies that it is L who gets to sail her proper course.
		Therefore, when L is sailing on her proper course, W must keep clear under rule 11, even when W’s proper course may be a lower course than L’s.
		Because she is not sailing above her proper course, she is not breaking rule 17.1; and because she is giving W room to keep clear, she is not breaking rule 16.1.

	Glossary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The correct way of referring to it would be as the "fore course." Unlike the other square sails on a tall ship, a course is loose-footed, with sheets leading aft, and tacks leading forward.
		2) On the course sail, this means to haul on the leeward sheet until the sail is the optimum shape.
		In the case of a sail that runs on a stay, the lower corner that is secured both to the stay and the stay's connection point.

	[No title]
		Points of sail The angle of sail is the difference between the direction your boat is heading and the direction of the wind.
		Different angles of sail, called points of sail, change as your boat changes course, and the sails must be adjusted to harness the wind as efficiently as possible.
		Sailing the boat with the luff of the jib on the verge of luffing will keep you in the close-hauled "groove." A common mistake is to bear off too far away from the wind with your sails still trimmed for a close-hauled course.

	POINTS OF SAIL
		With the sails trimmed in all the way, head up slowly toward the wind until the luff of the jib (or the luff of the mainsail, if you have only one sail) just begins to luff.
		Use the tellfales on the luff of your sails as early warning signals.
		As a general rule for trimming sails, ease the sheet of each sail out until the luff (or front edge) of the sail begins to luff (thus the name).

	Question or Topic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The luff of the sail should be just about to start luffing very slightly, and both windward and leeward woollies should be streaming horizontally The luff is the front edge of the sail attached to the mast, or the forestay for the jib.
		You should also be able to eventually sail a course to windward or any other point of sailing by the feel of the breeze on your face, hair, ears, and the feel on the helm.
		When sailing to windward your board should be right down, but as you head away from the wind raise your board so it is half up for a beam reach, two thirds up for a broad reach.
