	Sailing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Sailing is motion across a body of water in a sailing ship, or smaller boat, powered by wind.
		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.
		How close a boat can sail to the wind depends on the wind speed, since what the boat "sees" is the apparent wind, i.e., the vector sum of the actual wind and the boat's own velocity.
