Windshift
A shift in the wind's direction, meaning that people on one tack will suddenly find they have been 'headed' and are sailing closer to the wind than before, while others will find that they have been 'lifted' and are sailing broader than before. When racing on an upwind leg, competitors will use the windshifts to try and gain advantage, always looking for lifts so that they can sail a higher course than before.
