Once the error is known, it can be entered as a correction at the current true
wind speed. The aim is to build up a table of corrections similar to that shown
in Table 3.1 - Example of True Wind Correction Table.

Table 3.1 - Example of True Wind Angle Correction Table



The formatted table (Table 3.1) is carried in the Hydra 2000 memory and it is
necessary to determine and enter the relevant corrections for true wind
direction. The correction is calculated empirically and from which some
general rules can be determined.
