NEW NEVER WORN
Here it is a sailboat from the 1930s with a gaff rig. It runs alternately downwind (downwind), on a broad reach (approaching the wind abeam), then close-hauled (until it is "head to wind"). Finally, it lets the wind carry it, meaning it goes back towards the downwind courses. In the navy as in craftsmanship, the most technical term is always the most beautiful, because it is the most meaningful.
