The perfect balance between sail, wind, and seas is a hard thing to achieve. But when it is done, it is magical. Harnessing the wind to slip over the water can be graceful and majestic. It is amazing to think that man has been sailing for centuries and only until modern times did someone do the math and figure out how a sailboat moves. Before that, it was hundreds of years of trial and error. To be aboard a boat that is traveling fast, and
efficiently, under perfect trim, is a thing to behold. It is a symphony. Many things working in unison to achieve something beautiful and amazing. But, if one of these things, such as a sail, is off or hits a bad note, it is noticeable and undesirable. Like a poorly played symphony, a poorly operated sailboat can cause people to leave and never want to come back.
