Dead down wind is fastest? Close hauled is slowest? Um....this somewhat depends on the boat, but neither of these statements are correct. I'm trying to picture how a train is going to tack upwind. I'm sure you could get some Hollywood types to make a movie about it, spend a couple of hundred millions, get Kevin Costner to be the engineer! ;-) Cheers Marty |
