 Sailing employs wind acting on sheets to propel a craft on the surface of the water. TZMP conducts cruising coastal ocean sailing and inshore sailing on small and medium sailing craft.
Wind and currents are important factors to plan on for both offshore and inshore sailing. Predicting the availability, strength and direction of the wind is key to using its power along the desired course. Ocean currents, tides and river currents may deflect a sailing vessel from its desired course.
