Summary edit

Description
English: Simple vector (True Wind, Boat velocity, Apparent wind velocity) diagram of two sailing situations which result in the same force generated by a fixed sail. If Case 1 is possible in a steady state, then Case 2 must be also possible as a steady state in a craft with less (but non-zero) friction between the craft and the support medium (e.g. water or ice).
