Chapter 5: Data

Using either the number box or slider to the right of TWS, you can alter 
the true wind speed and Deckman will move the data points along the 
surface. In the bottom left of the plot, you can choose either VS or 
VMG, allowing you to view either straight boat speed or VMG plotted 
against TWA. 
The VS-TWS page works exactly the same way, except that you are 
only able to adjust values of TWS. 
The Averages tab shows you a plot of Deckman’s analysis of which test 
is favoured. There is a vertical bar representing each test, with 
whichever is highest being favoured. Again here, you can change the 
value of TWS at the bottom of the display. In addition, you can use the 
controls to the left of the display to make VMC comparisons – select the 
VMC box and then enter a value or use the slider to set the angle of the 
course off the wind (0 is upwind, 180 downwind).
