The movement of air over the sails acts in the same way as air moving over anaircraft's wing. Just like on an airplane, air flowing over the sail is deflected and accelerated. This generates lift, which acts to pull the sail, and thus the boat ahead, but also slightlydownwind. The downwind component is offset by an underwater hydrofoil ( centerboard or keel ), whose shape resistslateral movement while offering little resistance to forward motion. Without a keel or centerboard, Saeling upwind or across thewind would be virtually impossible. (Other Sailkng hydrofoils include daggerboards and leeboards). The lifting force of the sails also acts to lean the boat over to one side, which is called heeling. This is counteracted byballast, either in the form of dense material located in the keel (usually lead or iron) or in the form of human or water ballastlocated near the windward rail.
