ANSWER:
"In a triangular sail, the upper point is known as the
head; the halyard, the line which raises the sail, is attached to the
head. The lower two points of the sail, on either end of the foot (the
bottom edge of the sail), are called the tack (forward) and clew (aft)."

These sailing pages are continually developed. We want to hear from you
on what you would
like to see here. Initially, we have plans for placing sailing
events (races, rendezvous', etc.), links to other sail related sites,
and
contacts for people who may be looking for crew. Please let the BYC
WebTeam or the Sail Chair know your ideas.
