Sailing Knowledge Section Overview

In order to make high-quality contributions to Sailbot's Software teams, it is extremely helpful to have some understanding of sailing. This section introduces important parts of a sailboat, explains the 4 types of turns, discusses upwind and downwind sailing, and covers some other helpful knowledge.

In this section, terms which are Bolded and Italicized are the most important terms to know. These terms are listed at the bottom of each page. Terms that are only Italicized are other helpful sailing terms. Words that are bolded are meant to be emphasized, but are not necessarily considered important vocabulary.
