	Windward and leeward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The leeward side is the side protected by the elevation of the island from the prevailing wind, and is typically the drier side of an island.
		In the case of an archipelago, "windward islands" are upwind and "leeward islands" are the downwind ones.
		Windward and leeward directions are important factors to consider when sailing a sailing ship, though the terms have largely fallen out of use in favour of "head-to-wind" and "downwind", see points of sail.

	Leeward Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Leeward Islands are the northern islands of the Lesser Antilles.
		Thus, the Leeward Islands are downwind, on the backside, or leeward from the Windward Islands, the group of islands that first meet the Trade Winds coming from the south.
		The colony was known as the Federal Colony of the Leeward Islands from 1871 to 1956 and the Territory of the Leeward Islands from 1956 to 1960.

	The Luger Sailboat Mooring - The Leeward 16 Sloop
		With your specially designed Luger trailer, your Leeward is launched and loaded just as easily and quickly as the smallest outboard fishing boat -- and she tows easily at freeway speeds whether your auto is full size or a sub-compact.
		Leeward's lightweight aluminum mast (only 25 lbs.) is easily raised and lowered by one person in a few seconds -- and no tools are needed.
		Leeward's mast is held securely in its raised position with 1x19 stainless steel shrouds and forestay which are equipped with adjustable, quick disconnect fittings at the deck.

		Leeward Islands[lOO´urd, yOO´–, lE´–] Pronunciation Key, northern group of the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies, extending SE from Puerto Rico to the Windward Islands.

		Sir Thomas Warner, sent to St. Kitts in 1623, was made governor-general of the yet uncolonized neighboring islands (Nevis, Antigua, Montserrat, and Barbuda), and in the same year the Frenchman Pierre BElain d'Esnambuc also established a colony on St. Kitts.

	Telling tales ...
		When the leeward telltales stall, the jib trimmer should ease the sheet until the helmsman is back onto his proper course again.
		The stalling of the lower telltales may also indicate that your jib is sheeted too loosely, and causes the airflow to separate on the leeward side of the main.
		The bubble on the windward side is less harmful than the one on the leeward side; in heavy winds there is always a bubble of some length on the windward side of the sail.

	The Lagniappe Webpages
		I purchased my Leeward at the end of the 1998 sailing season from the original owner/builder - he did a nice job in her assembly and provided good maintenance through the years.
		This 1981 model was in decent shape for her age, and only minimum work and refurbishing was necessary for her first launch (late summer of 2002) in western Maryland's Rocky Gap Lake.
		There are no docks at the lake, so my Leeward's minimal draft is a blessing when it's time to load the boat with supplies and raise the sails.
