Topic: Downwind


In the News (Sat 25 May 13)

  
  Robert Koehler: Uproar Downwind - The Huffington Post
The citizens downwind of the test site, the furious sons and daughters of the victims of earlier testing and earlier lies, have forced the government to regroup.
But the uproar among the downwinders -- who have borne the consequences of our Cold War-era nuclear testing program in the form of shattered health and lost loved ones -- was sufficient to force, first, a three-week delay of the blast and now indefinite postponement.
The downwind public is far more concerned about unnaturally occurring radiation: The Divine Strake blast site is only a mile from a hot spot left from a previous nuclear test.

 Downwind
The downwind leg gives you the chance to exploit the same wind shifts you utilized going upwind, but with more dramatic results, When sailing downwind, the sails do not produce any lift.
Above a certain wind speed, the heading that produces the best speed downwind drops off drastically so that at that point you should head directly at the mark.
Upwind and downwind are opposite but mirror images of each other.

 downwind
Sail area is one such topic, and while most cruisers understand that things are less windy downwind, they don't take the next step and set a larger sail when sailing downwind.
The extra sail area is great as long as the boat keeps sailing downwind, and it is important to douse the spinnaker well before boat control becomes an issue.
If the boat stops going downwind (as in a round up), things will get windy in a hurry, and that is bad when you have a lot of sail set.
