Fig 3.3 Leeway Angle Measurement
The idea is to sail on a steady course and drop markers over the stern at
regular intervals, the angle between them and the centreline of the yacht is
measured with a hand-bearing compass and hence leeway angle is
measured. Whilst this is happening the boat speed and heel angle should be
noted at intervals and an average calculated. These values can then be used
to calculate the leeway coefficient from the following expression:
K = L x Bs x Bs
H
Once the leeway coefficient 'K' is known it is entered into the system under:
NAVIGATE
→ → LEEWAY, CALBRATE → → CAL VAL1
