Whether you are operating in Hi or Lo parameter range depends on
boat speed and wind angle.
When beating and reaching Hi or Lo only depend on boat speed:
Below 4 knots > Hi
Above 4 knots > Lo
So if you lose too much speed e.g. when tacking, the parameters will
change from Lo to Hi to gain sufficient rudder response.
When running (apparent wind angle -140 to +140 degrees) you will
always be operating in Hi, independent of boat speed.
Hi/Lo depending on boat speed: Always Hi:
