    This document shows the relationship between wind speed, boat heel, and leeway for different points of sail. As wind speed increases from 10 to 25 mph, boat heel and leeway also increase, except when running or down wind, where leeway remains low regardless of wind speed. Heel and leeway are highest when closed hauled and decrease as the point of sail opens up.
