And I still don't know what veering is. I think that veering is when the wind shifts. But when you said that it appeared in the track that I was not doing much veering, I can only guess what that meant. GARY
You veer off course. The wind veers.
Veer is a Dutch word that means to change course or direction.
Back when I raced the Dart 18, the singlehanded sailors, who used the main only, always pointed much closer to the wind than the 2 up Darts with jibs. Off the wind, things changed and they were usually overhauled before the bottom mark.
