Hi guys,
OK, US Sailing can supply 2 products for us. The cadillac product, at $275 for members, gives FULL polars at 1 or 2 degree wind angles and 2 knots wind speed increments, and gives optimal sail combo solutions for each point of sail. Also included is a package to upload onto Deckman, Nexus, Raymarine, B&G, etc., so you can have your target speeds on your instruments and on board PC. This is a bargain!
Or, for $100, you get a print out with Upwind and Downwind target speeds, VMG, wind angles(both AWA and TWA)-all at 5 knot increments from 0-25 knots (might be 2 knot increments-I was writing this down furiously).
These are the typical sheets you see taped to the cockpit/pedestal/cabin face to give a guide for upwind/downwind targets...It will really help with downwind gybing angles, or just optimal angles at various wind speeds, and for upwind, show you when it is better to foot or sail higher...
BUT this package gives no reaching info or sail size/combo info..
Either package is valuable, and if 2-3 of you go in together, it is a real bargain..
There are 3 boats in the database-Indian Summer, Providence, and Nantucket,
So when you call to place an order, just reference one of those 3.
Any questions, contact me directly.
Hope this helps.
BTW-My contact at US sailing is looking for line drawings (hull/keel/rudder) for the 35-III. Does anyone have this info? If so, please let me know.
Cheers
