An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

High-performance sailing is achieved with low forward surface resistance—encountered by catamarans, sailing hydrofoils, iceboats or land sailing craft—as the sailing craft obtains motive power with its sails or aerofoils at speeds that are often faster than the wind on both upwind and downwind points of sail. Faster-than-the-wind sailing means that the apparent wind angle experienced on the moving craft is always ahead of the sail. This has generated a new concept of sailing, called "apparent wind sailing", which entails a new skill set for its practitioners, including tacking on downwind points of sail.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Segelfahrzeuge (Segelboote, Eissegler und Landsegler) können Geschwindigkeiten erreichen, die größer sind als die Geschwindigkeit des wahren Windes. Bedingung dafür ist eine hohe Seitenführungskraft bei zugleich geringem Widerstand längs der Bewegungsrichtung des Fahrzeugs sowie ein Segel mit einem ausreichend hohen Gleitverhältnis. (de)
