Why
instruments are so important
|
Detecting and
acting on a 5º shift gets you
100 seconds/mile. |
Half a knot
of current gains or costs you
50 seconds/mile. |
|
| You need sailing instruments to be on top of true wind and its antics. Wind direction lets you see even small wind shifts so you can get onto the lifted tack, get onto the favored side of the fleet and call laylines perfectly. | Current is a big player for sailboats. Most instrument systems don't calculate this important value, so it's up to the navigator. Knowledge of current will get you better results than a new set of sails. | |
| These factors apply whether you have
instruments or not. If you want to be on top of them, you need
instruments. Why are we teling you this? Because we provide, by far, the best solution for wind direction and current. To find out more... |
