Further about the above post -- I really don't know the numbers

I never bothered to document the polars. The numbers I posted were guesstimates from memory. Kind of difficult because I usually don't leave the speed impeller inserted and therefore don't switch the wind meter to true. All my regular readings are apparent, and that's what I sail by, so the above references to "true" may be wrong. Using apparent wind readings I find it's easier to make decisions about trim and what sails to carry.
