Wing and wing
text:
Wing and wing, Wing on wing, Goosewinging or Goosewinged, is a term used to define, in a fore-and-aft-rigged sailboat, the way to navigate sailing directly downwind, with the mainsail and the foresail extended outwards on opposite sides of the boat, forming a 180ยบ angle, to maximize the projected area of sail exposed to the wind. The jib is held out by the clew with a whisker pole, to allow the capture of the maximum amount of wind on the chosen side, without being covered by the mainsail.
