Because the resulting file is a collection of these points they are extremely small and so ideal over slow links such as sailmail. says 36 kts so think 70+ probably about 48 hours worth. Currently storm jibA very small jib, usually made from bright orange material, used in storm conditions. and heading way below course to stay comfortable.  Kills the VMGVelocity made good – loosely, speed in the right direction. tho.
