| Tacking
Help me out here..... What is the best tack angle in various condition ? When close hauled, is it better to do many short small angle tacks or less long larger angle tacks ? If VMG is the best indication of best tack angle, should I be looking for this on the GPS and disregarding tack angle and only tack when this starts to decrease ? I have a 12m cat with fin keels |
