It&#8217;s a concept that can significantly impact the outcome of a race.<\/p><p>When sailing in performance mode, you do so without a set destination, and your only point of reference is the boat&#8217;s angle to the wind or True Wind Angle (TWA). You certainly don\u2019t care about coordinates, directions, or headings. We never consider the COG, SOG, or current when talking about performance sailing!<\/p><p>This is the domain of the helmsperson, the trimmers, and the foredeck team. They are responsible for steering, boat handling, selecting sails, trimming, and flawless maneuvers. Their focus is on keeping the boat at top performance. Performance sailing is useful for crew training and sail testing. But w<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">hile racing, it complements tactical sailing, where tacticians decide how to sail from one place to another in the shortest possible time. So, when training on performance, feel free to give the navigator and tactician the day off!<\/span><\/p><p>Undoubtedly, your crew is the backbone of your boat&#8217;s performance in all wind conditions; their role is essential and integral to the sailing experience. They often rely on the boat&#8217;s speed to indicate their success. But here&#8217;s the challenge: when sailing at a given TWA and with a True Wind Speed (TWS), how do they know the best possible performance? And when tacking upwind or gybing downwind, how do you know if they are achieving the optimum Velocity Made Good (VMG)?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4ff48b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4ff48b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-03c1bd7\" data-id=\"03c1bd7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ecbdec elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2ecbdec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Performance Targets<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d0d54d5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d0d54d5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd691fa\" data-id=\"fd691fa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc6143d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fc6143d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/evolution-tactic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Polars-for-Performance-01.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e57ffa4\" data-id=\"e57ffa4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-277e8c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"277e8c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As you might expect, polar curves provide the answer.

It utilizes a 10-second moving average of the TW and then calculates the targets using the boat\u2019s polar curves. This effectively dampens the targets to adjust for the boat&#8217;s inertia when accelerating or decelerating. This approach improves your ability to match real boat speed and TWA to the target values.<\/p><p>The system interpolates the polar curves to create a new &#8220;virtual&#8221; curve for the precise TWS every second.
