Simple, right? But what happens when the wind is coming from straight ahead? In this video, we’ll explore one of sailing’s greatest tricks: how ships throughout history learned to sail upwind. From ancient square sails and the revolutionary lateen rig, to modern racing yachts and even today’s wind-assisted cargo ships, this story shows how sailors turned the wind from an obstacle into their greatest ally. #Sailing #Maritime #CasualNavigation ⭐️ SUPPORTED BY PLUS MEMBERS https://patreon.com/casualnavigation Thank You to all Plus members on Patreon.
