Anyone ever generate polars for their E32? I don't have an anemometer but am trying to learn and practice what my expected performance could theoretically be for the various points of sail in various wind conditions. I've read our boats are pointy but not so great downwind.
Also, what's been y'all's experience on max speed for an E32? I got up to 6.8kts under full throttle during sea trials, so that's probably hull speed. Fastest so far under sail was 6.2 on a windy day between close hauled / beam reach...with the current sails, I expect that's nearing my max under wind power.
**Edit** I knew the second I posted this, I'd put the foot in the mouth... previous thread here: http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?15394-Polars-for-E32-3
