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 ?
