- No-Sail Zone: Limit to Upwind Sailing. Sailboats can not sail straight upwind. The wind and water work against the sails and keel to propel a boat upwind, but there is a practical limit upwind beyond which a boat can not sail.

- Reaching: Fastest Point of Sail. Reaching is the point of sail between close hauled and running - from 50 degrees off the wind through about 135 degrees.
