Low sheeting is a term that refers to the act of adjusting the sail sheet to bring the sail to a lower angle in relation to the wind. This is often done to control the speed and direction of a boat in windy conditions or to maintain stability in rough waters. Synonyms for low sheeting include easing the sheet, trimming the sail, or adjusting the angle of attack. Other similar terms includes depowering, feathering, or flattening the sail - all of which are used to describe different techniques and approaches to managing sails in different conditions. Ultimately, the goal of low sheeting is to maintain control and stability, while maximizing speed and maneuverability.
