Best Answer

When you are beating in a sailboat you are sailing very close to the wind. You will have the mainsail sheeted in very tightly. In most boats that would be at approximately a 30 degree angle to the wind. When on a beat you are approaching the point at which you will begin to luff ( or loose the wind in your sails).
