  2. Spinnaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnaker

    Code 1 is a light air reaching sail, where the apparent wind angles at low speeds has a significant effect to create angles of less than 90 degrees. Code 2 is a medium air running sail, used for apparent wind angles over 90 degrees. Code 3 is a medium air reaching sail, used for apparent wind angles near 90 degrees.

  3. Asymmetrical spinnaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_spinnaker

    An outside gybe requires longer sheets and a method to prevent the lazy sheet from dropping below the sprit and tangling. [6] An asymmetric spinnaker is particularly effective on fast planing dinghies and ultra-light displacement boats as their speed generates an apparent wind on the bow allowing them to sail more directly downwind. An ...

    The connector first appeared in the Nvidia RTX 40 GPUs. [5] [6] The prior Nvidia RTX 30 series introduced a similar, proprietary connector in the "Founder's Edition" cards, which also uses an arrangement of twelve pins for power, but did not have the sense pins, except for the connector on the founders edition RTX 3090 Ti (though not present on the adapter supplied with those cards.)

  6. Sheet (sailing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_(sailing)

    The jib sheet attaches to the clew of the jib, and controls it. The jib has a sheet on each side, only one of which (the leeward one) will be in use at one time. The spinnaker sheet attaches to the clew(s) of the spinnaker, if carried. A symmetrical spinnaker has two sheets, an "active" one and a "lazy" one, in the same way as a jib, but they ...

  7. Genoa (sail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoa_(sail)

    A jib, left, compared to a roughly 110% genoa, right. The foretriangle is outlined in red. The term jib is the generic term for any of an assortment of headsails.The term genoa (or genny) refers to a type of jib that is larger than 100% of the foretriangle, which is the triangular area formed by the point at which the stay intersects the mast, and deck or bowsprit, and the line where the mast ...

    The PWR2 was developed for the Vanguard-class Trident missile submarines and is a development of the PWR1. The first PWR2 reactor was completed in 1985 with testing beginning in August 1987 at the Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment.

  9. Screecher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screecher

    A screacher [1] [2] is a sail that combines the features of a spinnaker and a reacher.. Its similarity with a spinnaker is that it is not attached to a stay along its luff, and typically has a slightly larger curvature than a genoa.
