Sailing at night
Article Abstract:
Sails should be readjusted a little at night, since an approaching windshift cannot be seen in the dark and even a properly-sailed boat will be steered through a wider range of wind angles. Techniques on sailing downwind and through the waves, and instruments that are helpful at night are presented.
