Software to graph NMEA Windspeed
While you guys are working on programs, I want to see one that produces
polars from actual data. Say you would set the sea state and then when you get the boat really cooking you hit a button and it records the wind data and boat speed. Then it would sort it all out and plot polars for each sea state. Another option would be to just constantly record the data and then use peak boat speeds maintained for more than say 30 seconds to select the points to plot. It would be really interesting to invite a hotshot crew of racing sailors to sail a boat and produce a set of polars then do the same with your regular crew and try to match the results. It would be a great way to refine sail trim and helm techniques. Willem Amels wrote: Hello, We have a tool under development which graphs wind speed and direction and much more. You can set the time span from 1 minute until 16 hours and the program offers many options for filtering and averaging the data. If you combine it with a screen capture facility and automatic FTP it may do the job for you. You can download a 30 day trial version at: http://www.nauticis.com/download/supernova.rar Willem Amels -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
