7. 1. Upward: sail in front of the wind
2. “Decuartelar”: sail near the wind.
3.Traverse: sail bringing the wind on one side.
4. Long sail: sailing turning away wind.
5. Sail with the fin: sail with the wind coming
from one side of the stern.
6. Downwind: sail with the wind coming in front
of the stern.

8. ● If the wind come from the bow, you can't sail,
because it drag the boat back, and you need to
do this:

10. ● One of the important things that we need to
know is that Columbus didn't use keel, so in this

13. ● I loved this school trip but the wind was
strange, wind seemed to be enough, but it
wasn't. The teacher of the course explained us
all really good, and I understood it well.
It was a little bit boring because we couldn't do
anything, but with the friends in the boat, I had
a really good time.
