Notes
If
the
boat
fails
to
complete
a
tack
by
due
to
stalling
close
to
head
‐
to
‐
wind,
try
reducing
the
tack
time
Consider
tack
time
to
be
equivalent
to
“use
more
rudder”
(lower
tack
time),
or
“use
less
rudder”
(higher
tack
time)
as
opposed
to
a
definitive
controlled
timing
of
a
tack
or
gybe.
The
actual
time
will
be
dictated
by
tacking/gybing
angles,
sea
‐
state,
wind
speed
and
boat
speed
among
other
variables.
