Thanks folks - appreciate the feedback.
Thanks TheOffice; what actually prompted my question was how vastly different two models were for the same day. One was showing 23kts and had me tacking like crazy and the other showed 12kts on a lovely reach - talk about covering all the bases!
And while yes, the 23kts was the odd
forecast, I didn't want to simply discount it.
Anyway, thanks again!
regards,
