What is ctw?

CTW stands for "catch the wind," and is a term used in sailing to describe the ability of a sailboat to sail at an angle to the direction of the wind. By adjusting the sails and the angle of the boat, sailors can utilize the power of the wind to move the boat forward, even when the wind is coming from an unfavorable direction.

CTW sailing requires skill and experience, as sailors must be able to effectively manipulate the sails and boat position to maximize the effect of the wind. It is often used in racing and recreational sailing to navigate challenging wind conditions and optimize boat speed.

Overall, mastering the technique of CTW sailing can greatly improve a sailor's performance on the water and enhance their overall enjoyment of the sport.
