A sailing vessel with the wind coming from 220° relative would be __________.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — on a broad reach
A relative wind angle of 220° places the wind well abaft the port beam, identifying a broad reach. On this point of sail, the boom is let out substantially, and the vessel rides comfortably with wind pressures distributed evenly across the streamlined sail profiles.
