H5000 Operation Manual

Next leg apparent wind angle

 

¼

Note: 

Only available using a compatible chart plotter with an active route with next leg 

bearing data

Next Leg wind information is a prediction of the conditions of Apparent Wind Angle and 
Speed that the yacht will experience after altering course onto the next leg. 

This data is calculated from the current True Wind and a bearing for the next leg course.  From 
this information the True Wind Angle on the next leg is calculated, then by using the polar 
tables the corresponding Boat Speed is given and hence the Apparent Wind Speed and Angle 
can be calculated. 

Should the leg be upwind or downwind, rather than free, the H5000 calculates the data using 
the Target TWA on the favoured tack, this situation is indicated on the display by the position 
of a small bar at the top (upwind) or bottom (downwind) of the digits.
