This physics image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Ice boat apparent wind on different points of sail.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
Summary
| Description | English: iceoat A is close hauled. Iceoat B is on a beam reach.Iceboat C is on a broad reach.
VT = True wind speed
VB = Boat speed
VA = Apparent wind speed
FT = Force on sail tangential to sail cord (lift component)
FR = Driving force component
FLAT = Lateral component
Note that as the iceboat sails further from the wind, the apparent wind becomes increases slightly and the boat speed is highest on the broad reach.
