, US Sailing Level 1 LSR Exam QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT!
Center of Lateral Resistance (CLR) - ANSWER the focal point of all the forces resisting
slipping sideways through the water (keel and rudder)
Center of Effort - ANSWER theoretical focal point of the force generated by the wind
acting on the sail(s) - main and jib
Drag - ANSWER slowing force resulting from the friction of a boat moving through water
when a boat is sailing upwind, it slips to - ANSWER leeward
centerboard's primary responsibility - ANSWER resistance to side-slipping
rudder's primary function - ANSWER steering
weather helm - ANSWER occurs when sailing upwind in strong or puffy wind-force of
the mainsail overpowers the jib- boat turns windward and the rudder is harder to control.
correction: ease main, hike to windward, flatten mainsail, or pull up centerboard (25%)
lee helm - ANSWER The boat's tendency to turn away from the wind in light wind - too
little force in the mainsail and too much weight to windward. correction: flatten boat
(move crew weight leeward), tiller to leeward, make mainsail fuller/deeper and put
daggerboard all the way down.
why flatter is better upwind - ANSWER vertical centerboard/daggerboard functions best
at preventing sideways slipping, most direct course toward windward destination
heel in light air upwind - ANSWER little heel allows for better steering and optimal sail
shape to avoid luffing
side-to-side position downwind - ANSWER daggerboard up partway, heel to windward
to reduce friction; skipper on windward rail and crew adjusting to maintain consistent
windward heel
close hauled sailing - ANSWER position defined as closest to the wind
