A while ago I posted the Sail boat pennant question to net.puzzles. (Which way should a pennant on a running sailboat face, the bow or stern?) There were many correct answers (bow). However, several people suggested that it would be possable to get the pennant of a running boat to face the stern (or at least away from the bow). This was described as "jiving into the wind" by several people. I have spent many hours trying to figure out what exactly they meant. Could someone enlighten me ?
