    Thanks Jacob

    Now we know ho to calculate the VMC. But to find out the best one you need to do a lot of calculatens in different directons (or). As your boatspeed is different (as the polar shows)at differents angel. I.e if you do 5kn with 55 deg to mark or you do 6.5 kn at 60 deg you had to calc both to find hos is fastest VMC.

    Any easy way to do that?

    Do any have the formula for VMC? Or could you calk. it by change the TWA to the dir. to mark.

    Rolf

    EDIT: I found it. Its COS(angel of your boats directions) * Speed
    or COS(60) * 5 = 2.50 knots made north (vmg)
    if mark is N (360) and you sail 60 deg. in 5 kn.

    And BTW VMG is "Velocity made good"

    Re: Feature request, what would you like to add....

    I want a function were you could chose 1--5 opponents to track/follow. I.e It could be enough if the boats shape is stronger coloured so you easily could find them.
