fair, a term applied to the direction of the wind when it is favourable to the
course being steered in a sailing vessel. It is more comprehensive than
large as it can blow from about four
points on the bow to right
astern. Any wind which will enable a sailing vessel to
fetch a desired point without
tacking or
pinching is a fair wind.
