2.9.50 True Wind Angle
Menu heading: WIND
Function text: TRUE W/A
Update rate: 2Hz, Hydra
Update rate: 4Hz, Hercules
Units: Degrees
Notes
1. Relative to the boat’s heading.
2. Corrected for masthead and other errors via the
look-up table.
3. Variable damping 0-99 seconds.
4. Dynamic damping available.
The true wind is calculated from the vector triangle shown
in Figure 5 – True Wind Angle. This uses the Apparent
Wind Speed, Apparent Wind Angle and the Boat Speed in
the calculation. The results are then corrected by the true
wind correction tables, which are discussed in Chapter 3 -
Calibration.
Note
1. The true wind is the wind relative to the water, not
the land. The true wind is not the same as the
ground wind, unless there is zero tide.
The True Wind Angle is the angle between the boat's
heading and the true wind.
