The Physics of Sailing | KQED QUEST

Northern California has a storied, 500-year history of sailing. But despite this rich heritage, scientists and boat designers continue to learn more each day about what makes a sail boat move.

Join KQED's QUEST to investigate the physics of sailing - a topic which still presents mysteries to modern sailors.
