Same here sailed dinghys a bit an more big ones, but never heard of the phrase, so chose the longest answer.

Having completely failed at R/C sailing, I took the easy way out today and selected the longest answer. Seemed to work!

Good morning everyone and Happy Christmas Eve.
Who among you has ever sailed as captain or crew member (sheets) on a cutter?
I haven't.
I've come across a few (much less than the very common and widespread sloops) but I've never had the opportunity to climb aboard one.
Yet I thought the reasoning was similar to that of the sloop.
So once I translated the terms correctly (there's a word that's the key to everything), the answer was quite easy, especially if you've seen it in person.

Hi all, interesting question, as I thought about this when I altered a sailing boat to have a flying jib on a bowsprit in a gaff rig. At that size my yacht is/was it was sufficient to have the fore jib on a bridle but have a standard servo pull it in according to the wind pressure. You can see the effect on the wing slot as it directs the air through.

Hi Steve, I know what you're talking about. It's happened to me once or twice.

Now that is interesting. There are two correct answers here. Tidal flows do change direction at headlands C. and they do accelerate at headlands B. I just happened to pick the wrong one. Never mind. I guess I should have Googled it first. 😂

Alessandro, your comments on the 22nd December question was bang-on with me. (Carelessness). 😐
I worked out the correct answer fairly quickly and while deleting the adverts pressed the adjacent wrong answer and pressed the "are you sure" button before realising that😣😗.
So after called myself an absolute ***** I went to bed in disgust 😕😞😭..
Today's qotd wasn't too bad with a bit of thought..🤔
