Apparent Wind
Similar Terms: relative wind, Apparent Wind Angle,AWA
Apparent wind is the speed and direction from which the wind appears to blow with reference to the Bow when the Boat is moving. It is the wind that you feel on the Boat when sailing - it is a combination of the wind blowing across the water's surface (the True Wind) and the speed of the Boat (Boat Speed).
Apparent wind Angle - in sailing, the apparent wind is the actual flow of air acting upon a sail. This can be experienced on a calm day - if you stand still there is no wind, but if you begin to run forward you can feel wind rushing in your face- this is an example of apparent wind.
Apparent wind Angle is the angle of this wind relative to the Bow of the Boat.
