Probably best summed up Tony as "Technobabble," which apparently has its uses, though it's not everyone's favourite cup of tea.

Not sure it's technobabble. It's just a model specific plot of boat speed according to wind angle and strength. Ejessen, I have a 2001 B40 too. If you ever find the plot, I'd like to see it! I don't race but a plot like this gives the crew something to aim for.

For a B40 2009, similar hull design. A start for you to keep records against and modify as you need to. Very useful for passage planning too.
