Which is the ideal situation to set your sails in a wing and wing configuration?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — When sailing with the wind aft
Sailing downwind with the true wind coming directly over the stern creates the ideal condition for a wing-and-wing setup. This configuration exposes the maximum canvas area directly to the oncoming wind without the risk of accidental gybing.
