Why does the climate have a great influence on sailing competition?

The starting time of this project depends on the weather, there is no world record, there is no specific starting time, and when to start depends on the weather. Do you know what such a wonderful Olympic event is? Yes, it's a sailboat. When the sailing competition will start, we have to wait for the referee to decide according to the meteorological data provided by the meteorological support team. It can be said that sailing is the sport that requires the highest meteorological conditions. Sailing boats are driven by the wind, so the wind is too weak to race.

For example, in the 2009 1 1 National Games, the medal round competition of sailing and windsurfing was too weak to meet the competition requirements, so all eight events were cancelled, and the ranking after the previous day's competition was the final result. But it doesn't mean that you can compete with the wind. You can't compete when the wind is too strong, the fog is too thick, and the tidal range changes, which may affect the personal safety of athletes. 1896 The sailing competition of the first Olympic Games was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. In a word, sailing is a project that moves with the wind. Only when there is wind can gong. If there is no wind, you must wait. If the wind is too strong or too small, you must cancel the game.

As the saying goes, sailing boats can only go out to sea by relying on the sea and the coastline. Sailing, as one of the Olympic events closely related to meteorology, has very strict requirements on meteorological conditions, not only when the wind is strong, but also when the wind is small. Only the wind is kept between 3 and 20 meters per second, the wind direction swings less than 50 degrees, and the visibility exceeds 1500 meters. Only when the three conditions are met at the same time can the game be played. Although very picky about meteorological conditions.

For example, Britain and Norway are big gold medals in sailing competitions, including temperate maritime climate countries in which these two countries participate. The total number of gold medals is 1 10, accounting for more than half of the total. Why do countries with temperate maritime climate get good results in sailing competitions? Think about it. Controlled by the west wind all year round, it is mild and humid, warm in winter and cool in summer. The average temperature in Leng Yue is above zero, while the hottest month is below 22 degrees. Suitable wind power and comfortable temperature conditions are just like those tailored for sailing training. ?
