The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Pitch?  Yaw?  Roll? Surge?    It’s the stuff of fuselages, hulls, and even our boards (I think only boards pearl, but that’s another story.)

Pitch1 Anyhow it’s come to pass that the greatest illustrator in the waterblog universe (better even than James)…the mighty Christina of Bowsprite…has created a visual guide to this nautical terminology using drunk seamen to convey distinctions in how watercraft be shuffling around.   Don’t waste a moment thinking about whether or not it’s worth your time, just go.  Surge, in fact!
