Similar to airplane wings, sails create pressure differences in the air that pull the boat forward. The wind pushes against the windward side, which fills the sail and creates a wing-like curve. The leeward wind sticks to this curve thanks to physics and speeds up to keep up with its windward sibling.
In our example, the combined power of push from windward and lift from leeward is not directed straight ahead, but at an angle. The keel, or vertical fin on the underside of the boat, resists the resulting sideways motion and guides the boat in a straight line. In short, the power from the sails plus the lateral resistance of the keel equals blissful forward motion. It takes some sailors years to figure this out. Feel free to take a break.
If that question is answered correctly stay in that row and move to a higher level of difficulty and then on to level III in that row for a correct response to level II. So you will see that the questions build on each other horizontally.
Level 11 supporst 1 and level 3 supports 2. I know it could get messy and complicated if the program tries to remember which question and which level it last answered correctly. I would say, just continue on in the row of correct answers until incorrect and then drop to the first level of the next question. You are the only crewman on the boat. What do you do. If we can use dropdown boxes.
These are the correct order of for this answer. There will be 3 boxes. What side of the boat does the Captain usually sit? Why does the Captain sit on the Windward side of the boat? What command does the Captain issue to notify the crew that the tiller has been put to leeward to cause the boat to come about. What is the result of pressing the tiller to the leeward side of the boat.
Why does the boat slow when the tiller the Captain positions the tiller hard-a-lee? Finean has been charged with steering the boat. If he turns tiller leeward which dirrection will the boat go. The boat is going in the wrong direction. To correct his mistake, Finean , pushes the tiller windard. Because of this there are terms like windward and leeward in order to direct someone on a boat in the desired direction. In sailing, windward is the term that is used to tell sailors to go towards the wind.
The windward side of the boat is the side that the wind hits first. Therefore, if someone were to say to turn the boat windward, you would turn the boat in the direction of the side of the boat that is being hit by the wind first. Leeward it is the exact opposite of windward.
Think of leeward as the left to windwards right. This means that moving leeward means moving away from the wind.
