A more accurate method is to use your compass: By averaging her port and starboard headings, this boat determines that the true wind direction is 10 degrees. In this instance, before the start she determined the leeward mark bears zero degrees, so port will be favored Why does knowing this make a difference? Every time you jibe you loose some boat speed, so all else being equal, the boat that jibes the least gains the most. |
