Vectors
Vectors are easy!
• The length of the line represents the magnitude of the action – speed of wind, tide, boat etc.
• The angle of the line represents the direction the wind, boat, tide etc. is moving.
• If we draw the lines so they touch at the ends, we can ‘add’ the vectors

• I’m not suggesting any of you would do this….. But
• If using our original scenario, we put the windward mark directly upwind of the committee boat using a wind reference from the Committee boat (Ground Wind)
