	First Part - Functioning of the sailing vessel
	To go from a beam reach course to a closed hauled course, you         Pull in   Luff up   Tack   Bear away     What sailing course do you need to take to reef ?         A closed hauled course   A running course   A beam reach course   A training run course     The sailing boat is weatherhelm, what do you do ?         Flatten the mainsail   Increase camber   Bear away   Ease headsail   Luff up     What happens when pulling in the mainsheet ?       The sailing boat will bear away   The sailing boat will luff up   The sailing boat will continue its course     What do you do with the sheets when bearing away ?       Ease the sheets   Pull in the sheets   Leave the sheets alone     The moment when the sailing vessel rights itself thanks to the weight of the keel, is called       The righting moment   The centre of the driving force   The hydro-dynamic force   Hull drag     How do you trim the sails or what is the best orientation for the sail ?         The sail should be tangent to the wind     The sail should be perpendicular to the true wind     At what sailing course will the boat benefit from the maximum of combined forces ?       At running course   At beam reach course   At close hauled course   At training run course     Reefing the mainsail       will diminish the tendency to luff up   will increase the tendency to bear away     At which sailing course will the apparent wind be at its strongest ?       At a close hauled course   At a beam reach course   At a training run course   At a running course
