| Predicting sailboat speed at given wind (practical) I have developed a simple fundamental mathematical formula for the connection between wind speed and boat speed. Derivation is quite straightforward. High accuracy quite surprising. One set of basic measurements allows reasonable predictions to a wide range of the applicable wind and other parameters. Several measurement sets allow quite accurate complete polar diagrams. See in my WEB page: http://yoavraz.googlepages.com/saili...edvs.windspeed Feedback is welcome. Also, please refer me to any same, or equivalent, or very similar formulation that connects wind speed to sailboat speed. I could not find such. Last edited by Yoavraz : 11-08-2008 at 02:07 PM.
