I found this interesting graph on another website. The next chart I am looking for is the speed of the boat relative to the angle of the wind at a particular wind speed. Then it should be possible to find the best angle to sail at where the VMG toward the windward mark is optimal. Has anyone seen an analysis of this nature?
