2. Yachting function
<Background knowledge>
In general yacht racing, such markings as
shown in the figure are set in the course.
Yachtsmen compete in how fast they can sail
the course in the specified order. Sailing
directions are specified by angles such as north
= 0°, east = 90°, south = 180°, west = 270°.
Sailing with the wind coming from the right
side is called starboard, sailing with wind from
the left side is called port.
