EXTRACT FROM THE GUIDE:
Weather routing consists of finding the optimum route for a sailboat between 2 points. Indeed, the best sailing route will rarely be the straight line. To be calculated, this route must take into account:
-
Boat performance
-
Forecast weather
-
Currents
-
Waves
The goal of a weather router is usually to provide the fastest route.
On Virtual Regatta only the performance of the boat and the forecast weather forecast will be taken into account.
