This document provides information about sailing and boats. It begins with definitions of parts of a boat like the bow, tack, and keel. It then discusses how boats travel and problems that early sailors faced, such as not being able to sail directly into the wind. The document discusses Columbus' voyages and other important sailors in history like Vasco da Gama, Leif Erikson, and Amerigo Vespucci. It concludes by explaining the different points of sail like beating, reaching, and running based on the direction of the wind.

4. 1. Tack/ Bow: It's the part of the boat where it starts to
be thinner.
2. Beam reach: It is called a side of the boat.
3. Fin: It's the point of a boat between the beam reach
and the stern.

6. Problems tha we can find atProblems tha we can find at
the moment to sailthe moment to sail
A boat can't travel
against the wind so
(e.g) if we want to go to
“Los Baños del
Carmen”, from the port,
we have to turn to the
west or east to go there.

the boatthe boat
a) No-go zone: To sail againtst the wind.
b) To beat to windward (close hauled): When the
wind is near the bow (starboard or port)
c) Beam reach: Occur when the wind is absolutely
on side.
d) Broad reach: To sail with the wind coming from
one side of the stern.
e) Running downwind: To sail with the wind
coming directly behind the boat.

10. In Colombus' timesIn Colombus' times
● Colombus travelled by a caravel, a ship with
triangular sails.
● The didn't have centreboard.
● The had square sails.
●They travelled without knowing where they went.
● They could travel to America by the Trade
Winds.
● They didn't have jib.

● Vasco Da Gama: In the early ages of discoveries,
Vasco Da Gama was perhaps the most successful
explorer who discovered a direct route from Europe to
India.
● Leif Erikson: He discovered America about 500 years
before Colombus.
● James Cook: He was a British explorer, cartographer
and navigator, he was the first European to make contact
with the Eastern Australian Coastline.
● Amerigo Vespucci: Another great Italian explorer,
cartographer and navigator, he was the first person to
describe these territories as a new continent. And gave
his name: America.

19. How to sailHow to sail
(Points to sail)(Points to sail)
The points of sail, sometimes called sailing
positions, relate to the angle between a sail boat’s
heading, or course, and the direction of the wind.
There are three basic courses:
● Beating (wind is from ahead)
● Reaching (wind is from the side)
● Running (wind is from the stern)
●There are intermediate points of sailing:
● Close reach which is between a beat and a
reach
● Broad reach which is between a reach and a
run.
