∙ 8y agoWell, In sailing you need to know from what direction the wind is coming from. So you use the things around you to help, e.g. the trees what way are they being blown, if you are near water which way do the ripples move or if there are any unoccupied boats in the water- i.e. a motor boat, then water way is it being blown. A compus is also useful.
Hope that helped in some way.... good luck with whatever your doing.
