11、lf way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap （摆动）. It shouldnt look like a flag on a flagpole.

12、If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking（ 变换航向）. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
