Planing is the mode of operation for a waterborne craft in which its weight is predominantly supported by hydrodynamic lift, rather than hydrostatic lift (buoyancy).
The earliest documented planing sailboat was a proa built in 1898 by Commodore Ralph Munroe; it was capable of speeds of more than twice the hull speed.
Planing a sailing dinghy was first popularised by Uffa Fox in Britain. In 1928 Uffa Fox introduced planing to the racing world in his International 14 dinghy, the Avenger. It had been designed with a hull shape which permitted planing. He gained 52 first places, two seconds and three third places out of 57 race starts that year.
This performance was noticed by other designers who took on his ideas and developed them. Over the years many dinghies have acquired the ability to plane. Advances in building materials have allowed for lighter boats which will plane faster and in lighter air. There are now many high-performance dinghies (sometimes called skiffs) which will plane to windward.
Sailing comprises wind propulsion of a craft by means of sails and steering it over water, ice or land, depending on the type of craft. A sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails by adjusting their angle with respect to the moving sailing craft and sometimes by adjusting the sail area. The force transmitted from the sails is resisted by forces from the hull, keel, and rudder of a sailing craft, by forces from skate runners for an iceboat, and by forces from wheels for a land sailing craft to allow steering a course on a point of sail with respect to the true wind.
While there are still some places in the world where sail-powered passenger, fishing and trading vessels are used, these craft have become rarer as internal combustion engines have become economically viable in even the poorest and most remote areas. In most countries sailing is enjoyed as a recreational activity or as a sport. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Cruising can include extended offshore and ocean-crossing trips, coastal sailing within sight of land, and daysailing.

Before crossing the Indian Ocean the crew sat down to figure out a route and game plan. We needed to get from Asia to Africa, avoiding the worst of the weather and making the most of the monsoon season and trade winds. So, we sat down with two very old school technologies. Our large scale paper chart of the Indian Ocean and the pilot charts compiled from years and years of observations. We had a little discussion, weighed our options, and made a decision as a crew. It was a lot of fun and we learned something. Hope you do as well :) We are planning a little series on how we look at and plan for weather so hope you enjoy this first of many! Our Mission It’s simple really- we just want to make you SMILE! We do this because we LOVE it. Given our short time on this AMAZING PLANET there’...
In this edition of Sailing HideAway we will show you how the HideAways plan a cruise from Gulfport Fl to Pine Island near Apollo Beach in Tampa Bay from the perspective of the small boat sailor (Compac 23 sailboat). Learn how we use a blend of old and new technology to find our port of call as well as how we manage information. These are tried and true methods developed over the last three decades work well for us and may be of value in planning your next getaway. Results may vary.
Even after crossing the Atlantic, I still believe some of the worst wind and sea state I have faced has been in the Gulf of Mexico. As Phillip and I prepare to sail across it to Cuba this winter, we want to be ready for whatever the Gulf may dish out. That means heavy weather sail planning in the form of a strong, small storm sail, a third reef in the main, a back-up genoa, and a convertible inner forestay. Follow along as we rig our Niagara out for heavy weather offshore sailing. Only 28 days to go! Music by: www.BenSound.com, Kevin McLeod and https://www.instagram.com/arothsmusic/

A fine example of how to sail downwind in strong breeze and short, steep waves from Charles Buckingham, leaving the likes of Tom Burton, Nick Thompson and Robert Scheidt for dead at the ISAF sailing world cup in Hyeres France, 2015.
1st day of the year and we scored a great ride on ataroa. My brother in law Dave Ries didmuch of the shooting and driving and he sported a wide ataroa (big smile) for almost 4 hours. I reckon we hit 20 knots that day, most of the footage was done in the more tame rides, honestly I was a little concerned but the tri behaved like a champ. we had a 135 % genoa and main on 3rd reef, only about 14 feet of it up.

For insurance purposes we were instructed to make arrangements for the Caribbean hurricane season running from July to November. We had to get above 30 degrees north so we decided to sail from the US Virgin Islands to the east coast of American to North Carolina. This video includes our voyage from Hogsty Reef, an atoll in the southern Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There's footage of us fishing, an engine overheat situation, a big storm and what it was like to enter the city of Fort Lauderdale (and have a huge bridge open for us) by boat. I hope you enjoy it :) Amazon Books (as seen in the video) VHF Radio Checklists and Templates for Sailors: Reducing mistakes & making it easier when speaking over the VHF radio.
