2.9.53 VMG to Waypoint (VMC)
Menu heading: WAYPOINT
Function text: VMG WPT
Update rate: Provided by the position fixer
Units: Knots
This is another function that is directly calculated by the
position fixing system. This can be a very important
function on free legs, particularly if you are a long way from
the mark, since the greatest VMG to Waypoint (VMC) is
not necessarily obtained by sailing straight at the mark. In
Figure 6 we can see how this works.
