Answer
TACKING TO WINDWARD
(BEATING)
The only way a sailboat can reach an upwind destination is through a
series of tacks referred to as beating, or beating to weather. Tacking,
or coming about, is changing the boat's direction so that the bow comes
through the eye of the wind.
Since a 45 degrees is about the best a sailboat can point into the wind,
tacking requires a turn of about 90 degrees.
Procedures For Tacking
I. Helmsman gives the command: "Prepare to tack." This
gives the crew a chance to get ready and set up for the maneuver.
2. Helmsman puts the tiller over towards the mainsail, (leeward
side) and gives the command: "Helms-a-lee". This notifies the
crew that the boat is being turned.
3. The bow comes up through the eye of the wind, the sails come
across to the other side of the boat, and as the sails fill, the tiller
is brought back to the middle of the boat, the new heading is assumed.
Note:When sailing closehauled, the mainsail is sheeted in tight
so little or no adjustment of the mainsheet is necessary when tacking.
As the boat begins turning up through the eye of the wind, the sails
begin to luff. When the main fills on the other side, the tiller is
straightened, and the boat assumes the new heading.
