   If a craft proceeds at 90° to a true wind of V T = 10 knots, itself traveling at a speed inducing V B = 10 knots, then the apparent wind angle would be 45° off the bow and the apparent wind speed would be about 14 knots, calculated as: square root [(V B) 2 + (V T) 2] = square root [10 2 + 10 2] = 14.14. As the craft becomes faster than the ...
