Windward Leeward Sailboat Racing Course Video (43 sec Video) 
  





 

 
The windward-leeward course has two marks: one toward the wind and one directly downwind.  In this course, you must tack upwind to round the first (windward) mark, then sail downwind to round the second (leeward) mark and then sail upwind to cross the finish line.
