Can You Sail a Boat?

In the August Designer, Elon Jes-
sup tells you the fundamental rules
for sailing a boat
THAT which makes the boat go,
of course, is keeping the sail fun of
wind. But it is bad business to keen
the sail too full, and a person learn
ing how to sail should make a prac-
tiSc Of 'luffing' now and then to make
sure this is not happening. To 1uff'
means to point the bow Of the boat
into the wind: the closer YOU point
it into the wind the safer YOU are
, When the sail close to the mast be-
gins TO shake little, this is sign
that it is not too fun of wind.
THE sail ordinarily is kept so far
as possible at right angles to the
direction of the wind when sailing a
boat. This means that the main
sheet, the rope attached to the end
of the boom, is sometimes played
way out and at other times is hauled
in close, depending upon the drec-
ton YOU are taking. And one of the
first rules of sailing is that under no
conditions should the main sheet be
fastened to the deck so that it can
not be lOoscned in jiffy. There may
come a sudden puff or change in the
direction of the wind which demands
the instant release of the main sheet,
and unless this is quickly fOrthcom-
ing the result is likely to be a cap
sized boat.
"When the main sheet is played
way out 50 that the Loom is at right
angles to the length of the boat, this
means that YOU are sailing before
the wind, a proceeding which is one
Of the most delightful sensations Of
sailing and one quite comparable in
some ways. people say, to flying.
One Of the dangers of sailing before
the wind is that in case of trouble
the boat has to be turned completely
around before the bow can be pointed
safely into the wind. thus temper
arlY subiecting the length Of the
boat to wave and wind lombard
mcnts. BY the same token, beating
to Windward, or. in other words,
sailing into the wind, although in n
SianIlnS course, Is Inc safest InftnOu
of sailing. For in this case, if any
lie arises, a quick turn OF the
filler will send the bow directly into
the wind. and to head into the wind
means safety.
"Whcn YOU huff. that is, head the
bow of the boat into the Wind--the
sail flaps idly and you cease to make
progress. This is the one cure all
for most sailing troubles prospective
or present. If dangerous sqlall
approaches across the water, jam
down the tilcr and hold the bow into
the wind until it is past; if the boat
gets out Of control in any way. head
the bow into the wind. and in nine
times out Of ten matters will right
themselves. The first principle Of
safety in any kind Of boat, from a
