but skilled sailors know this is not true! Why/how?

Yup, quite clearly. All you have to do is spot the wake to starboard which
clearly shows she's adjusting coarse.

Comprehension Booby, comprehension!

Yup. In this case I had her alter course to suit the sun's angle for the pic.
We are actually too far off the wind. West is at her left and the sun was too
far behind her on coarse. Again, note the water to starboard. Pretty obvious,
though I did have to point it out to you. That we are set for a close reach and
off course is the primary error...and you missed it!
You're probably looking at silly stuff like fenders and a wrapped halyard on
deck.
Some sailor you are!

RB

And YET Another mistake?
 

Bwhahahhahhahahahha! She's turning to PORT and luffing up silly. The
wake is to PORT.

And you think you can see 11 mistakes? You can't even tell port and
starboard!

BUSTED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wave pattern that indicates the course change is at her right, to
starboard. Don't even try to say you were thinking I meant Port as there's
virtually zero wake there!
I'm embarassed for you. No Bwahahaha needed.

RB

And YET Another mistake?
 

Bwhahhahahahahahah! Let me help you. Is Sudzy's left hand PORT or starboard?

Bwhahahahahahhahahahaha

I assumed that was leeway.

And the wake is to port. Don't you know which side of the boat is which?

Port, but the wake described isn't present to port at all. It's to starboard,
midship.
I think you don't know what "wake" means. You probably think it's always aft.
Not so.

Wake:
The visible track of turbulence left by something moving through water: the
wake of a ship. Disturbance in liquid from moving object.

You poor thing.

RB

Another mistake?
 

You are rightm there is always leeway, but the boat has luffed up about
10 degrees, but I'll let the Boob make even more fun before I reveal all
my evidence.

Another fellow who thinks wake is always aft. Look to starboard. See the wave
moving off midships? That's also a WAKE. See posted definition.

RB

And YET more mistakes!!!
 

Yes, that's right the wake is the water track. The wake in question
leads right up between the headland at the right of the picture the
little ?rock just to the right of the PORT shroud.


Do you have mechaqnical aids to help dig such a deep hole for yourself?

Jeezz, I'm still waiting for you to "reveal all my evidence" on the Roman
Numeral thread that you have mysteriously disappeared from...

LP (still waiting... are you still trying to come up with an answer?)
