close hauled, the condition of sailing when a vessel sails as close to the wind as possible with her sails full and drawing. To achieve this a
square-rigger may brace her
yards to between about 30° to 40° off her centreline and achieve a heading of about 55°–70° off the
apparent wind. A
fore-and-aft-rigged vessel with her sails sheeted in close to her centreline can point considerably closer to the wind while modern
Bermudan-rigged racing
yachts can sail closer than 30° to the
apparent wind.
