	Sailing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sailing is the skillful art of controlling the motion of a sailing ship or smaller boat, across a body of water.
		Sailing vessels are propelled by the force of the wind on sails.
		Slab reefing, which involves lowering the sail by about one-quarter to one-third of its luff length and tightening the lower part of the sail using an outhaul or a pre-loaded reef line through a cringle at the new clew, and hook through a cringle at the new tack.

	Sailing - MSN Encarta
		Sailing, propulsion of a boat or ship by means of the driving force of the wind through the use of sails.
		As shown in the first diagram in Figure 1, the sail or sails are set at approximately a 90° angle to the longitudinal axis of the boat, with power derived from the push of the wind on the sails’ back surfaces.
		In sailing off the wind, as shown in the middle diagram, the wind reaches the craft from the side, or beam, and the sails are set at approximately 45° from the axis of the craft.

		Sailing can be further divided into two areas: Racing and Cruising.
		Modern sailing ships are able to go against the wind from an average of 25 degrees relative to apparent wind for most sloop-rigged yachts, to as little as 16 degrees for modern (America's cup type) racing sloops.
		Most lines are either halyards (for raising and lowering sails) or sheets (for trimming or adjusting the angle of attack of a sail).

		SAILING [sailing] as a sport, the art of navigating a sailboat for recreational or competitive purposes.
		Today, however, fiberglass hulls and synthetic fabrics predominate, and rigid wing sails, which resemble aircraft wings, are used in place of a fabric sail when a high speed is desired (as in windsurfing or boats used to set speed-sailing records).
		Although sailing as a means of transportation predates history, sport sailing—or yachting—seems to have originated in the 17th cent.

	About the Cal Sailing Club
		People with no previous sailing experience will usually require about 10 to 15 lessons before they are able to pass the sailing test which will enable them to take out the boats by themselves, and bring non-members out as guests.
		Sailing in these conditions requires considerable skill and experience, and as a result the tests which must be passed to achieve various qualification ratings in CSC are quite rigorous compared with those of most other sailing programs.
		Skipper rating is obtained by passing three tests: a written test covering terminology, basic sailing skills, and CSC rules (all covered in the CSC handbooks); a rigging test demonstrating ability to properly rig and launch a CSC boat; and a practical sailing test demonstrating skill and ability in boat handling.
