Examples

1. Using a moderately sized sail, a foil windboard can achieve speeds over 6 knots faster than the apparent wind.
2. Additionally, as their speed increases on the broad reach, their apparent wind changes to allow them to point lower.
3. Figure 1 shows the relationship of the true wind and apparent wind vectors as differing by the yacht velocity.
4. The 4000 is fast enough to make use of the apparent wind to reach the bottom of the racecourse sooner.
5. Depending on the alignment of the sail with the apparent wind, lift or drag may be the predominant propulsive component.
