Sep 10	comment	Term for easing up sails in a heavy storm It's not a reflex, it's just the way a well-designed sailboat works! As the angle of heel increases, the centre of resistance of the hull shifts forward, which causes the boat to tend to turn upwind (since the centre of effort of the sails hasn't moved).
Sep 10	comment	Term for easing up sails in a heavy storm "in irons" refers to being stuck head into the wind: not moving, and not being able to (easily, if at all) turn the boat. Simply turning into the wind is not the same as being in irons.
Sep 8	answered	In a jet cockpit: “console” or “instrument panel”?
