wind vane
I do have to know what direction the true wind is so I can get on the correct point of sail. Then the wind vane will tell me that I am on the point of sail - is that right. For instance. If the is comming from the west and I am on the close reach, then the windvane will be about 60 degress off to the Northwest if I''m on a starboard tack? Is that right?
Then I can turn the boat into the wind occassionally, watch for the windvane to come over the centerline of the boat, then I will be able know the true direction of the wind. Correct?
Or still confused?
