Good Evening Team,
one of our lady member of the Team has notice a strange value of the polar on IMOCA60 (both foiling and not):
- from 12 to 13[kts] of Wind speed and upwind, the boast speed decreases, while VMG increase, and after passed the range the boat speed is back to rise proportionally with wind. is it a glitch ? a table mistake? an aerodynamic effect of the IMOCA?
- checking this, I noticed also that the Jib is never selected in any range if full pack is on, even at Wv=15[kts] angle around 40-50° it remain in the LJ light Jib, is it a UI problem? IMOCA feature?
May these two affect the calculation?
Thank a lot again,
Alex p.
