VEO Weather Routing - an innovative algorithm for calculating routes based on weather, map and polar plots of yachts
Introduction
Mapping the route of a sailing yacht based on weather data has long been an important issue in the practice of sailing. So far, this task has been carried out mainly on the basis of planning "in the head" of the yacht captain, i.e. weather data and the sailor's knowledge / intuition regarding the use of wind and sea currents by a specific ship model. The mathematical, algorithmic version of determining sea routes was known more in the racing world,...
