SAILING NAVIGATION // Close Hauled Tacking Angle (Routing Factor)

Описание: THE FASTEST WAY to calculate upwind sailing-distance is to use a close-hauled Routing Factor. This awesome sailing navigation tip IS essential for close-hauled navigators!

In this video I compare two common tacking angles and give you their respective Routing Factors so you can immediately put them to use on your next close-hauled route plan.

HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:

1) The close-hauled Routing Factor is a multiplication factor used by sailing navigators.

2) The close-hauled Routing Factor is a simplified and effective way to come up with the additional distance you’re going to sail when you’re close-hauled and beating.

3) The close-hauled Routing Factor is applied to the point-to-point distance of a sailing route to project the actual miles sailed through the water.

4) When the point-of-sail is a reach, every mile sailed is the exact mile required to complete the journey—this is different from close-hauled sailing that requires tacking your sailboat.

5) The factors that contribute to choosing the perfect Routing Factor for your sailboat design and sailing ability are revealed.

6) EXAMPLE: Compare 90º and 100º tacking angles using Routing Factors for an upwind route-distance of 283 nautical miles (point-to-point).
