Sailing the Course with a Calibrated Compass
48 hours after the successful first completion of the sailing course, we're back to repeat the course; but this time, with the compass calibrated (better than it was previously, anyway).The sailing performance was much better.
The wind was about 10-12 knots from the NNW.

| Sailing the course much more efficiently this time. |
The current settings for minimum Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) while beating to windward is 45 degrees. The log results show that this resulted in tacking angles of 105 degrees.
 |
| Sailing the last leg in about 10 knots of wind. |
The next steps in development should include preparing a polar diagram of performance of the vessel.
