  1. 7:40 ...which is why America’s Cup yachts were doing 45 knots in winds of 18-20 knots. We call it apparent wind. Sailors deal with it all the time.

  4.  @alexsmallwood9895  Good questions, all of them.

  5.  @alexsmallwood9895  This is also a factor in limiting the maximum speed of helicopters. As the helicopter goes forward, the speed over the forward moving blade increases and the speed of the aft moving blade decreases, meaning that the helicopter tends to roll in the direction of the aft moving blade because it is producing less lift. But again, it’s a matter of apparent wind.
