*Close hauled means sailing as close to the wind as possible.  The ability to point close to the wind varies with the sail plan and depth of keel.  A ship-rigged vessel might be close hauled with the wind two points forward of the beam, while a schooner might be close hauled with the wind two points on the bow.
