Recently, Cvetan said VR is using the proper Clipper polars for Leg 3.
So, today I took a bit of time to check the polar diagram available here against the actual boat speed.
I had in mind a polar hump that was characteristic of the boat in the previous edition.
Well, it is there.
At a TWS of 10.6 knots, the boat speed stops increasing when the TWA reaches 50-55 degrees, and even decreases as TWA increases to 70 degrees (already Code Zero region).
The relevant screen captures are at https://1drv.ms/f/s!AqbPXGCYaCXN6DchJleupJc3dOYO.
My guess is that they are using the Clipper 2015 polar diagram, which I happened to find ar http://gwranking.forumactif.org/h10-outils-pour-vrtool.
If this is correct, the routing suggested may be significantly affected, to the point of becoming useless.
I am sending this to Cvetan, so that he can see what's happening and fix it if necessary.
