The apparent wind experienced by a stationary craft is the true wind speed. 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 ...
An anklet on female feet A toe ring with attached anklet. An anklet, also called ankle chain, ankle bracelet or ankle string, is an ornament worn around the ankle. [1] Barefoot anklets and toe rings historically have been worn for at least over 8,000 years by girls and women in Indus Valley, in Indian Subcontinent where it is commonly known as pattilu, payal, golusu and sometimes as nupur.
In nautical terminology, wind speeds are normally expressed in knots and wind angles in degrees. The craft's point of sail affects its velocity (V B) for a given true wind velocity (V T). Conventional sailing craft cannot derive power from the wind in a "no-go" zone that is approximately 40° to 50° away from the true wind, depending on the craft.
Satellite image of Kenn Reef Map of Kenn Reef. Kenn Reef is a remotely situated reef in the south eastern waters of the Coral Sea, it lies approximately 100 km northeast from Bird Islet part of the Wreck Reefs and 140 km southeast from the Frederick Reefs; the Bellona Reefs of New Caledonia are located a further 277 km to the east, with the Australian mainland being located over 500 km to the ...
In sailing, apparent wind is the speed and direction of wind indicated by a wind instrument on a moving craft (on water, land or ice) in undisturbed air. It is composed of the combined speeds and directions of the craft and wind observed by a stationary wind instrument—the true wind. A true wind coming from the bow increases the apparent wind ...

USCGC Staten Island (WAGB-278) was a United States Coast Guard Wind-class icebreaker.Laid down on 9 June 1942 and launched on 28 December 1942, the ship was commissioned on 26 February 1944, and almost immediately afterward transferred to the Soviet Union, under the Lend Lease program, under the name Severny Veter, which loosely translates as Northwind, until 19 December 1951.
At the time, my friend Liz Cottriel was staying with us. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them. “No way,” said Liz, now 65.
