[quote=rehmbo]Think of a windsurfer (the ultimate rudderless sailboat): One moves the sail toward the bow to foot-off (head away from the wind) and toward the aft to head up.
The corollary on a cat is this: Moving the sail to the bow would be similar to tightening the jib and loosing the main.
BTW, this is most effective when you are at less than 90° to the wind. When you start heading downwind, things get a little more complicated.[/quote]
