[C320-list] Polar Charts

[Lachance, Michael B (ISD, IT)]

New question: does anyone have IMS measurements for a Catalina 320? After some prolonged surfing I found a free velocity prediction program that will calculate polars and VMG speeds but it need IMS measurements which are far more involved than what's on a PHRF certificate. Anybody have an IMS certificate out there?

Thanks Orlando

Maybe a little more explanation is in order:

I'm looking VMG targets for optimum upwind and downwind sailing. Here's
an example for a Farr40:

I understand if you supply US Sailing $250 and your boat/sail
measurements they can put a 'performance package' together that includes
similar charts, but I gotta think with over a 1,000 hulls out there
someone should have this info already.

In everything I've read (see NorthU Trim, 6th Edition page 197 for
example) polars are based on TRUE wind.

Let me re-phrase the original question: Does anyone have a table that
shows for a given wind speed, what is the true and apparent wind angles
for optimum downwind and upwind VMG? (No, the polar does not contain
this information) Mike Seychelle, #141
