The wind felt aboard a moving vessel. It is the combination of the true wind and the boat wind. A boat in forward motion always pulls the apparent wind forward of the true wind.
Is the wind/breeze felt by a sailor or observer. This is the combination of the true wind and the wind caused by the boat's movement through the water.
The wind that the sailor feels which is the combination of the true wind and the wind caused by the boat's movement through the water.
The combination of the true wind and the wind caused by the boat's own speed. This is the wind felt on the boat, as well as the one shown by the telltales.
the direction of the wind as is relative to the speed and direction of the boat
The wind that flows over a moving boat, which is the result of the “true wind” affected by the movement of the boat.
(AW) The wind felt by the kite or rider as it passes through the air. For instance, if the true wind is blowing North at 10 knots and the kite is moving West at 10 knots, the apparent wind on the kite is NW at about 14 knots. The apparent wind direction shifts towards the direction of travel as speed increases
The perceived wind direction of a moving yacht [when the yacht goes faster, the perceived wind direction moves forward, just as the wind always seems to hit a car only from head-on as it drives at high speeds].
The wind perceived by an observer. See relative wind.
The direction from which the air impinges on a boat in motion.
The direction and velocity of wind as felt in a moving boat.
Apparent wind is the wind felt by an observer who is moving in the presence of wind.
