Abstract
In this article, we will discuss a problem of open sea sailing on a yacht. The yacht will be heading to a set point that is positioned upwind from the yacht. We will create a mathematical model and find the optimal starting direction for the yacht, so that it reaches the set point in shortest time possible.
Keywords
