  1. TWS (True Wind Speed) — Define the range of TWSs for which you want to enter speed values.

    Note

    As a minimum, 3 TWS values / rows are required.

  2. Beat angles — Define the range of Beat angles for which you want to enter VMG values.

  3. Beat VMG — Define the VMG for each Beat angle.

  4. Run angles — Define the range of Run angles for which you want to enter VMG values.

  5. Run VMG — Define the VMG for each Run angle.

  6. TWA (True Wind Angle) — Define the range of TWAs for which you want to enter Speed Through Water (STW) values.

    Note

    As a minimum, 3 values / rows must be included.

  7. STW (Speed Through Water) values — Define the speed for each TWA / TWS.
