[quote=davefarmer]You can do either, set a course and continually adjust the sails to keep them at the correct angle to the current wind, or set the sails for a certain point of sail(close hauled to weather, reach, downwind run), and then adjust the boat's direction of travel to keep the sails powered up. It's probably easier when beginning sailing, to set the sails and adjust your course with the tiller. Experiment, see what you enjoy the most. Being able to do both is a desirable skill to work towards.
