Sailing

Because Kuzco always made him get out to push!

Most sail boats use a fore & aft rigged triangular sail, also known as a Bermudan rig.

Assuming this as a normal rig:-

When running before the wind (pointing the same way as the wind is blowing) the sails simply catch the wind like a bag and transfers this pressure to the mast. The pressure on the mast pushes the boat along.

Where Burmudan rig vessels are cleverer than a square rig vessel, is the ability to sail nearly into the wind. Intuition would predict that the wind would push the boat backwards.

Having the wind fine on the bow, will cause the sail to fill with wind on one side and form an aerofoil shape, much like an aeroplane wing.

The wind flows faster around the curved surface causing a drop in pressure.

This imbalance in pressure causes pressure on the mast, drawing the vessel forward.

The wind being on one side like this will also have the effect of pushing the boat sideways. To prevent this happening too much and preserving forward motion an effective keel is needed.

The keel is a blade that sticks out under the boat in a fore and aft plane. Forward motion is alllowed by presenting the thin edge to the direction of travel and sideways movement is prevented by the broad sides of the keel causing resistance.

Sailing across the wind, with the wind on the beam, either side, the sail is set like a wedge. The wind fills the sail and slides off the rear, pushing the mast (and the vessel)forward in the opposite direction.

The term is "astern" as opposed to "ahead" (forward)

It comes from the word stern, that means the rear of the boat, as opposite to the bow

The nautical term for rearward, as in the direction, would be aft.

the meaning is that you have to scupper every thing rusty and e-mail a random girl you liked when you were 6 or 7

It's referred to as a "Ship's Log."

It is either a ketch or a yawl. The ketch has the wheel stationed amidships (between the masts) & the yawl has the wheel stationed aft of the mizzen mast.

A brig typically has two masts. Both masts are square-rigged, with the foremast being shorter than the mainmast. This rigging style allows for efficient sailing and maneuverability.

This is a great question. Sailing is not the oldest American Sport. In fact, there are several "sports" or "competitive games" that Native Americans still regularly participate in today (e.g. Lacrosse) that are far older than competitive sailing. Early European sports imported by the first settlers would include fencing and target shooting as well as wrestling and boxing.

However, the Americas Cup Trophy is the oldest Trophy in sailing (1851), and many resources claim that it could quite possibly be the oldest perpetual trophy in any sport to date. Competitive sailing is a sport with a long history in the Americas. With any luck, it will last for hundreds perhaps thousands of years to come.

tie it to a dock or bouy

Some do, most do not.

The aft end of a ship, the stern, will usually have a steering gear for each rudder. There will usually be mooring equipment on deck. Many ships have free-fall lifeboat davits mounted on teh stern as well. There will usually be an aft peak ballast tank.

Because you have many people working in tight quarters. Aboard ship there is no backup, no fire department to call, no service station to stop at. So the crew must be able to handle any emergency or casualty thrown at it.

It is the most efficient way to run a ship.
