How do you avoid a broach when sailing on a reach?
To avoid a broach when sailing on a reach, it is important to monitor the boat’s speed and the wave direction. When sailing on a reach, you need to ensure that your sail is trimmed properly and that you have adequate heel when the boat accelerates in steady winds. In addition, if wave directions are changing rapidly or gusts are hitting the boat suddenly, it is important to reduce sail power and change course in order to reduce risk of a broach.
