Broad Reach
In a broad reach, the boat is sailing far off the wind (but not quite directly downwind). Note that in a broad reach the sails are let much farther out. The boom is far out to the side, and the jib loops forward of the forestay.

Broad Reach
Sailing with the apparent wind coming across the quarter of the ship. A broad reach is a point of sail between a beam reach and running.

This is useful for maintaining proper sail shape by exerting a downward pull on the boom, particularly when running or on a broad reach.

This is useful for maintaining proper sail shape, particularly when running or on a broad reach.

This includes: close reach, beam reach and broad reach ready about! Last warning from the helmsman when he is going to turn the boat onto another tack reckoning Calculating the boat's position; see dead reckoning reef 1.
On a close reach the wind is farther forward; on a broad reach, farther aft. ready about: instruction to crew to prepare to come about.
SPINNAKER: A very large lightweight sail used when running or on a broad reach.
SPINNAKER POLE: Sometimes called a spinnaker boom. A pole used to extend the foot of the spinnaker beyond the edge of the boat, and to secure the corner of the sail.
Coming through the wind again, we charged back toward the beach on a broad reach. Zipping along before the waves, the memory of pitch-poling a small cat years before flashed before my eyes.
The fifth point of sail is called broad reach and it lies between beam reach and running. The boom and sails should be eased out further than halfway for a beam reach, but not all the way as far as for running.
On a broad reach the wind is on the quarter, between 90 and abou 170 degrees. A reacher is special spinnaker or jib used when reaching.
Since the debut of the late Mr. C. L. Orr-Ewing's yacht Rainbow, which in 1898 attained a higher speed on a broad reach than any yacht had preciously accomplished, many fast matches have been sailed by schooners.

You are now on a starboard tack and once more on a broad reach.
REACH-Points of sailing between running and pointing close-hauled. Close reach, sailing nearly close-hauled. Beam reach, sailing with the wind abeam. Broad reach, sailing with the wind abaft the beam.
boom vang - Any system used to hold the boom down. This is useful for maintaining proper sail shape, particularly when running or on a broad reach.

The point of sail with the bow of the boat as close as possible to the wind is called close hauled. As the bow moves further from the wind, the points of sail are called: close reach, beam reach, broad reach, and running.
If your boat heading goes from directly into the wind to a broad reach it must necessarily have been on that of a close-hauled course, even if only for an instant in time.
A gaff rigged boat will give the boat a consideralbly larger sail area for the mast size, though such a boat probably will not go to weather as well as a conventional sloop, it will easily make up for it on a broad reach or a run.
they are both high camber downwind sails, rigged similarly to a genoa. The difference is the amount of camber, which dictates the points of sail. A gennaker is optimal for a beam reach, while an asymmetric spinnaker is optimal for a broad reach or ...
Going straight downwind is called running and at 45° from downwind is called a broad reach. Factors such as wind speed, current, keel size and weight greatly affect the ability of a sailboat to manoeuvre and point into the wind.
