9. PERFORMANCE AND POLAR TABLES
To optimize the boats performance it is essential to constantly understand the theorical
optimum speed of the boat against the wind speed and angle. The target boat speed is a
guide to fine tuning the sails and determining the optimum wind angle upwind as well as
downwind.
The polar table enables you to display the « Performance » functions. It can be loaded in
the Processor Regatta via a ftp link or the nke calibration wizard.
Polar tables are supplied by the architect or the boat builder. You can build your own by
recording the boat speed against wind angle for each wind speed.
The polar table is stored in the « Processor Regatta » at the following address:
ftp://root:pass@192.168.0.232/mnt/flash/processor/Tables/SpeedPolar.pol
Alternatively, you can access that table from the home page under « Calibration » and
then « Boat Speed Polar ».
WARNING
Always save the modifications by pressing « Save File ». Once the file has been saved,
you must reboot the Processor Regatta for the changes to be taken in account. This is
done by pressing « Reboot » accessible from the « Action » section.
