1 of the tasks i have set myself this sailing season is to use my GPS to work out the optimal tack and gybe angles for best VMG
will need to make a waypoint upwind and another downwind, make a route to them, set the display for big digits and VMG, then sail the angles while checking the display
will use the same technique to work out at which wind strength DDW is the fastest way to get home
