This video explains the physics of how the wind drives your sailboat forward. This understanding is essential to understand the basic principles of sail trim that will generate the most efficient driving force from your sails. This lesson introduces Newton's Third Law of Motion, and explains how this is the physics behind lift in aircraft, and drive in sails.
